gnome evolution logoLuci Langa’s Evolution RSS Reader Plugin enables support for feeds in the Gnome Evolution mail reader.The newest version (0.0.6) of this plugin has the following changes against previous ones…

Support for feeds enclosures. Support for renaming folders and the main folder (News&Blogs). Support for adding SSL feeds. This release will make a channel name unique in case of duplicate channel names. Crashing when the evolution-rss plugin is disabled has been fixed. Feed IDs have been moved from crc32 to md5. Feeds setup has been moved to gconf. This release supports Evolution’s network hooks. HTML entities in the channel name and article title are decoded.
