New Article Actions

This update adds these new article actions:

• Mail Article mails the content of the article.
• Mail Article Link mails a link to the article.
• Pinboard saves a bookmark to an article in your Pinboard account.
• Raindrop.io saves a bookmark to an article in your Raindrop.io account.

Each article action can be invoked by keyboard shortcut: option-i for Mail Article, command-i for Mail Article Link, command-shift-b for Pinboard, and command-shift-r for Raindrop.io.

Keyboard Navigation Improvements

When navigating up and down an article list via hardware keyboard with space or shift-space, Unread now stops at breaks between articles when possible rather than scrolling a fixed number of points up and down the screen. This change also applies to other screens with lists of items.

Important Note

For Feedly customers, the list of Saved Articles is now called “Read Later”. The wording around adding and removing articles to this list has also been updated. The underlying functionality is unchanged, but I updated the wording to reflect a change in Feedly’s nomenclature.

Minor Improvements

• Most animations now happen about 30% faster.
• You can now toggle Hide Read Items from the tug left menu of article lists for specific feeds, folders, and searches. You can also use the command-shift-h keyboard shortcut from those article lists.
• This update adds improved formatting of aside elements.
• Overscrolling in order to scroll to the next article, scroll to the previous article, mark all read, or pull to refresh is now easier with a trackpad or mouse.
• Unread now plays video in embedded iframes from player.twitch.tv.
• Unread now uses a Content Security Policy as an additional mechanism to ensure that articles cannot execute arbitrary scripts.
• Unread will now consider a feed private if its URL path contains the string “/private/” or the string “/pri/”, or if its URL contains the query parameter “unread_private=true”. Private feeds have webpage text turned off by default. URLs of private feeds are never sent to the Unread Web Service.
• The context menu for a subscription row now includes a Copy Feed Link menu item.
• Report Webpage Text Issue in the share sheet has been replaced with Report Article Issue. That option is available regardless of whether you are viewing feed text or webpage text. Instead of sending a request to the Unread Web Service, it creates an email that you can send to the customer support address. The privacy policy has been updated to reflect that the Unread Web Service is no longer involved in reporting these issues.
• Retrieving articles is now significantly faster.
• Unread now uses better article list images for articles from underconsideration.com under some circumstances.
