Ordering feed and podcast search results based on how they are category-centric
Making use of tags to expand your search with related content
Tag highlights to see latest 2 audios and videos and most related 2 feeds for each tag
Flash-based visualization tool to give you an overview about what topics focused feed publishes content
Being able to reach related feeds for focused feed which helps you explore more feed that you might be interested in
Double-click on subscription in the treeview will open up its download folder, if it exists
New option in the context menu of subscriptions to open its homepage quickly
New button named 'Check at Feedzie.com' in the 'Add Wizard' to allow you to see the feed before subscribing to it
Changes/Improvements:
Preventing unnecessary reordering of download and synchronization tasks
Smashed Bugs, which caused following cases:
Ziepod didn't allow users to use customized download and playlist features of podcasts.
Ziepod failed to keep synchronized statistics of unread/unplayed/unseen items inside the system. That has been resolved.
Ziepod didn't handle 'published' tag of Atom format.
Changing filtering options in the Downloads tab wrongly disabled 'Pause/Resume/Cancel All' buttons
Ziepod failed to pause downloads that are in 'Retry in X secs' state
In the Downloads tab, selecting multiple downloads and canceling them sometimes caused crashes
After trying to add a feed with an invalid link thru Add Wizard, Ziepod crashed after showing 'Invalid Feed Address' message.
In Ratings tab, Ziepod didn't allow users to browse pages of episodes from 'Unknown Places'--that is, if you try to go to the next pages after shown first page
In some platforms, when Ziepod maximized, it covered up the system tray. This might be related to an update we did earlier so we reversed that update. (we didn't experience this in our own testbed)
Ziepod sometimes failed to show preview of episodes in the Subscriptions tab. This has been resolved too.
When clicking 'Resume All', Ziepod reversed the order of downloads.
Downloads and synchronizations sometimes became frozen and not responsive to cancelation order
