“RSS and Atom reader written with the .NET Framework”

Features include the ability to view news items in customizable newspaper views, the ability to synchronize the read and unread state of the application across multiple computers, and the ability to expire items so that they get deleted after a certain amount of days.

Other highlights include pinpoint control of how often items are downloaded, support for password protected feeds, and reduced bandwidth consumption by using HTTP conditional GETs and GZIP encoding, search folders. You can view comments directly in the reader without going to the site, postcomments from the reader, plus take advantage of the integrated Web search, tabbed browsing, and security settings for disabling unsafe browser features like ActiveX.

Languages:

English, Spanish, German, Chinese Simp, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish

Remembering application state on restart - This will work similar to the Session Saver extension in Firefox in that open tabs and the tree view state will be remembered on restart
Revamping the search feature - We've moved the implementation of feed search to Lucene.Net from our custom feed search implementation which should make searches faster and provide richer search options. The syntax for performing Lucene search queries is available at http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html
Support for Atom Threading Extensions
Easily configurable keyboard shortcuts - Just right-click when hovering over the toolbar menu and choose "Customize". This feature came as a freebie from switching to Infragistics NetAdvantage for some of our UI components.
