New in this version

Data snapshots dramatically speeds up synchronisation with iCloud when syncing on a new device or a device that hasn’t be used for a while. Snapshots are automatically saved to iCloud on a daily basis, as part of the standard sync procedure. In addition to this, we also improved traditional initial syncing performance.

Other new features:
• New Slideshow context menu item in the Feeds list.
• Reddit feeds are now parsed by a dedicated parser.
• Articles marked as Favorite are now stored forever.
• Option to show the app icon in the menu bar as status item.
