Below is the
announcement I received from NewsGator developer Greg Reinacker’s href=”http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/”>Weblog. The cool
thing is, I’m posting this directly from Outlook using NewsGator 1.2 – pictures too!. It’s almost as easy as
forwarding an email. Great work, Greg!

NewsGator 1.2 has been released!  I won’t
duplicate the release announcements…here are the important links:

Here are some screen shots of some of the
visual items that have changed. This is only a small subset of the
feature set…and we’re only highlighting changes since 1.1.

 

The NewsGator menu has moved to the
toolbar:

New post items have been added to the
menu…

And of course new configuration
options:

Outlook auto-preview, which works well
with NewsGator, was always hampered by the links at the top of every post,
which would fill up most of the auto-preview. There is now an option to
move the links, for “clean” auto-preview:

Prior to Outlook 2003, it was unfortunate
in that you could never see the URL that a link was going to open; NewsGator
1.2 adds tooltips to most links:

If you like the NewsPage, you’ll like it
even more with inline post excerpts:

And also on the NewsPage, you can now read
all posts from the “unread posts” section by expanding each
feed…

Enjoy! We look forward to your feedback
and comments.
