This will most likely end up being the final release and I will then make packages.
Capabilities:
- proxy support
- set delay between feed updates
- set delay between news popups
- show article date, html link
- grab site favicon
- blinking icon tray to notify of new news
ChangeLog
0.5rc2
-added stdlib.h to main.c to fix x86_64 crashing problem with getenv
-fixed long problems with x86_64, size is different, changed to int
-add left click if icon not blinking will recycle popups, thanks to David Richards for this idea
-switched summary window to middle button
-bug fixes for site icon grabs from rc1
Tentative plans for release 0.6:
1. Add atom feed capability
2. Add ability for http authentication
3. Add multiple language support
This is a source only release which is available at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158296

NOTE About dragging & dropping:
The RSS Feed icon in Firefox is not draggable, although there is currently a RFE to get this added in, but since it's not high priority it might take a while. A ny other page link like you RSS button will be draggable.
2. Site icons
If grabbing the site icon automatically doesn't work, you can do it by hand. Make sure news-notification is not running, otherwise your co nfig will get overwritten.
1. Get the sites favicon.ico, http://www.website.com/favicon.ico or view the mai n page source and look in the header for "shortcut icon"
2. Load up favicon.ico on your favorite graphics editor, save it as a .png file
3. Copy the png file into $HOME/.news-notification
4. Edit $HOME/.news-notification/config
5. Under the proper feed channel add <icon>icon.png</icon>

A deb package should be really appreciated: can you make it and send it to me? :)

Somehow I can't build it. I have installed these packages libgtk2.0-dev libxml2-dev libnotify-dev libpng-dev libcurl4-dev tidy tidy-doc libtidy-dev automake1.9 autoconf.
These as the make warnings/errors:
main.c: In function ‘main’:
main.c:123: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘gtk_timeout_add’ from incompatible pointer type
docklet.c: In function ‘docklet_set_tooltip’:

then
misc.c:30:20: error: fileio.h: No such file or directory
misc.c: In function ‘parse_url’:

Please help or provide .deb packages :(

I'm receiving a compilation error as well: misc.c:30:20: error: fileio.h: No such file or directory.
:( would love to use this tool.

Ok, so I figured out how to compile this app. I had a few problems though. I'm running debian (testing [version 5.0]), i686.
Initially I was getting an error from misc.c when I was compiling. I was being told that fileio.h was missing.
This turned out to be an issue with my version of libtidy-dev (package name). The testing version of this library does NOT include fileio.h. Instead, you need to make sure you're using etch's (stable) version of libtidy-dev which can be downloaded here:
http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/libtidy-dev/download
If you're also running testing, you'll need to install the downloaded package. Do so as root by typing:
dpkg -i libtidy-dev_20051018-1_i386.deb
Awesome! No more missing file errors. ...oops. Now I'm getting errors with retcrypt() not being defined. *sigh*.
This again occurs in misc.c. This function is defined in docrypt.c. I found that an easy hack to get this working is to add a check and include the file if it hasn't been included already.
To do so, in misc.c on line 38 (just after the last #include), add the following lines:
#if !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)
#include "docrypt.c"
#endif
You should now be able to successfully compile the application.
I unfortunately was still unable to use it as it continually timed out on the RSS feed I wanted to add.
Oh the irony. :(
