AmphetaDesk v0.93.1
is now available. Released on October 31st 2002, this version arrives
due to the results of a gentleman's poll on the amphetadesk-discuss
mailing list concerning larger or quicker releases (quicker
releases are preferred). AmphetaDesk v0.93.1 includes a junkload
of bugfixes, shuts down some possible security issues, and
includes some minor feature tweaks and twiddles. Due to some of
the security improvements, I consider this a required upgrade.
Get it now or check
out What's New.

More AmphetaDesk Reviews: It came out a while ago, but Ben
Hammersley reviewed AmphetaDesk and a few other free aggregators in his
Guardian article, Working
the web: Newsreaders. In more timely news, OSDir, a repository of "stable,
open source apps", has reviewed
AmphetaDesk and labels it an 'OSDir.com preferred' app. They also give you
the ability to rate
AmphetaDesk on a scale of 1-10. You can see the current rating here.

Two New AmphetaDesk Hacks: Since the AmphetaDesk source code is so easily
modifiable on any platform, I've been seeing some interesting hacks and modifications
lately. The most powerful of them is
l.m. orchard's newest template, which provides an insane amount of new features,
including hiding old items, click counting, and an outline based format. More than
likely, a revised version of his hack will appear as a selectable template in
the next version (AmphetaDesk v0.94).
Also of interest is Brian Cantoni's FTPStore:
"FTPstore is a slight addition to the AmphetaDesk news aggregator. The modified code will
retrieve the personal channel list from an FTP location during startup and store it back to
the same location during shutdown. This provides a simple method to keep your saved channels
in a network location. If you use AmphetaDesk at home and at work, for example, this feature
will let you keep your list of channels in sync." It's a major improvement for AmphetaDesk
users with multiple machines.
