RSS Guard
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
RSS Guard is simple (yet powerful) feed reader. It is able to fetch the most known feed formats, including RSS/RDF and ATOM. RSS Guard is developed on top of the [Qt library](http://qt-project.org/) and it supports these operating systems:
|
|
|
|
* Windows XP and newer,
|
|
* GNU/Linux,
|
|
* OS/2 (eComStation),
|
|
* Mac OS X,
|
|
* xBSD (possibly),
|
|
* other platforms supported by Qt.
|
|
|
|
RSS Guard is written in C++. It is pretty fast even with tons of messages loaded. The core features are:
|
|
|
|
* multiplatformity,
|
|
* support for all feed formats,
|
|
* simplicity,
|
|
* feed metadata fetching,
|
|
* multiple data backend support (SQLite + MySQL),
|
|
* “portable” mode support,
|
|
* feed categorization,
|
|
* feed authentication (Digest-MD5, BASIC, NTLM-2),
|
|
* handles tons of messages,
|
|

|
|
* KFeanza-based default icon theme + ability to create your own icon themes,
|
|
* fully skinnable user interface + ability to create your own skins,
|
|
* “newspaper” view,
|
|
* ability to hide list of feeds/categories,
|
|
* open-source development model based on GNU GPL license, version 3,
|
|
* tabbed interface,
|
|
* integrated web browser + external browser support,
|
|

Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
You need to compile RSS Guard if binary distribution is not available for your platform. Basic steps are really simple:
|
|
```
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\Program Files\rssguard"
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
This compiles and installs RSS Guard using Qt 4 on Windows machines. Qt 5 can be used too. |
