NetNewsWire 3.0.1b7
 NetNewsWire 3.0.1b7 addresses the top-priority bugs from the 3.0 release.
- Smart lists and searching no longer use Spotlight, which wasn’t working for some people. (However, you can still search news items via the system’s Spotlight search.)
- The Combined View is now based on the version that was in 2.x, since that version doesn’t rely on JavaScript and thus doesn’t crash. There is more to do with the Combined View: pagination (for performance) and UI (to make titles easier to read and make it look cooler).
We’re working on other bugs, too—but these are the highest-priority items.

NetNewsWire 3.0
NetNewsWire 3.0 has been released. New features include Spotlight searching; integration with iCal, Address Book, Twitterrific, and other apps; Growl notifications; clippings (synced or not-synced); tabs-with-thumbnails; microformat detection; automatic update checking; and plenty more.
And, inevitably, we’re already at work on 3.0.1, and will post a beta probably later today. ;)

Google Desktop for the Mac 1.0
The Unofficial Apple Weblog: “What’s Google Desktop, you ask? It is an application from Google, which indexes the contents of your hard drive (including applications, most files, PDFs, as well as web histories from Safari, Firefox, and Camino) and makes it searchable a la Spotlight.”

NetNewsWire 3.0d46: sneak-peek release
We just posted a sneak-peek release of NetNewsWire 3 today. It’s not even a beta yet, and it has bugs, unfinished features, unstarted features, and it still needs more polish and testing. All that said, you can download it from the beta page. ;)
The change notes page lists what’s new since 2.1.1. Highlights include Spotlight searching, new Combined View, feed ‘cover art’, full screen mode, Growl notifications, tabs with thumbnails and animations, the ability to choose a folder when subscribing, hiding/showing the subscriptions list, and lots more.
I’ll be writing more about it on inessential.com. Here’s the initial post and here’s a post on a hidden pref for a monochrome toolbar.

Spotlight+wrap NetNewsWire Style
Wolf: “Much to my surprise, my favorite NetNewsWire style is Spotlight... Since I’ve been happy with the Spotlight style for so long, and it looks like this relationship is a long-term one, I decided to put some time into enhancing it a mite: Spotlight+wrap.nnwstyle.”

Opal pre-release now feature complete
I got email from David Dunham that the Opal pre-release is now feature-complete: “It has essentially the same easy-to-use feature set as Acta, but adds multiple selection, a search field, on-screen magnification, the ability to focus on a subset of the outline, and Spotlight support.”
David’s a fellow Seattle-ite, by the way.

The Power of mdfind
MacDevCenter.com, Andy Lester: “I had the power of Spotlight available to me from the Unix shell. Experienced Unix users will find mdfind’s interface familiar. Mac power users who have never used the Unix under the hood of Tiger are in for a treat.”

Add Xcode c and c++ header files to Spotlight
macosxhints: “If you use Xcode, it’s extremely useful to have your header files indexed by Spotlight. This isn’t done by default, and it isn’t well documented how to achieve it. It’s actually pretty easy!”

Save Current Headline
Brett Gross: “This little AppleScript will take your currently selected feed from NetNewsWire (paid) and save it to a folder in your Documents folder named 'RSS' You can change the destination folder or just make a folder named 'RSS' in your Documents folder.
The script will also automatically insert the following keywords in the HTML file: RSS, NetNewsWire, k_RSS, k_NetNewsWire. These keywords can be used as search criteria in Spotlight searches. For example, searching for 'k_RSS' will find all of these files no matter where they are.”

Web Apps with Tiger: Getting Started
Kevin Hemenway: MacDevCenter.com: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. You’ve got your Dashboard, your Automator, your Spotlight, your uber-Safari, and your RSS screensaver. And they’re great, dandy, zippidity-doo-dah. It’d be terrific if there were something new under the hood for web serving, right?”

Put a Tiger in Your Mac
Wired News: “The feature I’m most jazzed about, and the one that will have the biggest impact on how I interact with information on my Mac, is Spotlight. Spotlight is designed to help users find files—instantly. You type a keyword, and even as you begin to enter the letters, results are already popping up.”
