NetNewsWire 2.1b16 public beta

NetNewsWire IconNetNewsWire 2.1b16—get it while it’s hot!

It’s a universal binary, of course—in fact, it’s been developed on Intel Macs.

The big new feature of this release is NewsGator syncing—but there are also a bunch of performance enhancements, bug fixes, and smaller new features (including commands for printing, emailing, and posting to del.icio.us).

For the full scoop, read the NetNewsWire 2.1b16 change notes.

You can download it from the NetNewsWire betas page.

A few screen shots: NewsGator syncing, refreshing plus XML source window, crazy colors, choosing post-to-del.icio.us app, Print command, sort-by-attention command.

(I’ll be posting more here about some of the individual new features and changes.)

NetNewsWire beta testers sent a bunch of great quotes...

But my favorite one is this from Justin at carpeaqua.com: “NetNewsWire 2.1 is 112 times more gooder than the previous version.”
