Changes for v3.08 - v3.09 Beta
- If you add "highlightfeederrors=1" under [misc] section in feedreader.ini then Feedreader will highlight those feeds that gave you "error" while updating them. So you can for example monitor online status of your site or some intranet servers.
- Related to previous feature you can change update interval on feed that gave you an error. If site is down for some reason then Feedreader will try again in specified interval. By default this interval is 1 hour but you can change it by adding "updateintervalonerror=??" (?? can be for example 10 (those are minutes)) under [misc] section in feedreader.ini
