NewsGator v0.9 is now available on the download site. A couple of items that have gotten a lot of attention lately have been changed – NewsGator no longer sends a referrer header, and it now correctly installs and operates for non-admin users. Other changes:

• Posts now marked as read after reading from NewsPage
• NewsGator can now be correctly loaded/unloaded from the Outlook Tools/Options/Other/Advanced/COM Add-ins dialog, including adding/removing all GUI elements. Solves problem of multiple NewsGator menus in certain circumstances.
• Added link for post comments
• Fixed bug on NewsPage when a feed title had an embedded ‘/’ character
• Fixed problem where if logged in twice via terminal services, would get two copies of each post
• When trigger a manual retrieve, reschedule auto retrieve time
• Added keyboard shortcuts
• IE context menu can now be switched on and off from NewsGator Options, rather than being an install-time selection.
• Added start menu folder
• Fixed problem where if NewsGator started up but no folders were accessible, Select Folder… wouldn’t work and you’d be in a situation you couldn’t get out of
• Fixed problem where under certain rare conditions, retrieving a feed might never timeout

If you run into any problems, or have any new suggestions, please let me know!
