This version fixes a nasty bug that would crash RSS Menu unexpectedly. It also fixes some memory related issues.

A small but important update for RSS Menu has been released. The most important fixes are some crashes that occured whil retrieving a favicon and a bug that would prevent RSS Menu from updating the feeds.

It is a highly recommended update.

The time has finally come. You can check out our first iPhone app/game on the iTunes AppStore (worldwide).

PuzzleTouch is a simple sliding puzzlegame that tries to mimic the real thing. It allows you to select a photo from your photo library and has 3 difficulty levels.
It is available for only 2.99 USD and is compatible with both iPhone and iPod touch (running the 2.0 firmware)

After more than 2 months, we have finally released a new version of RSS Menu. Version 1.11.3 has a significant amount of bug fixes and optimizations.
Parsing a feed also happens much better and faster.

If no more bugs are encountered, then the next release will be version 2.0 (which will require Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5).

Note: We fixed a last minute bug that would generate a lot of CPU and memory. Please redownload RSS Menu, we apologize for the incovenience.

Dear users/visitors,

With this message we would like to apologize for the lack of replies to many emails we have received, mostly concerning problems with RSS Menu.

The reason for this is that we have been working on other projects and thus have limited to no time at all to work on our own products. Rest assured though that we have received your emails and have read them.
Now that most of those other projects are (partially) done, we can head back to our own schedule and work on our existing and new products.

Feel free to continue to contact us, we really appreciate your feedback.

Sincerely,

e dot studios team

It's been almost over 2 weeks since we started working on a new applications. The time has come to tell you all about it.

We proudly announce our first iPhone app: PuzzleTouch!

It's a very simple slide puzzle game that mimics the same behaviour as a physical puzzle game of its kind. You can check out this game on Apple's AppStore now.

First of all, many users have discovered some bugs in the current version of RSS Menu. We have identified what's causing those problems and are working on a fix.

Second, the big iPhone 2.0 firmware day is approaching soon and ofcourse we want to be on board of this ship. We are also working on our first native app for iPhone and iPod Touch.

And lastly, the reason for the lack of updates is that we have been busy working on our first iPhone webapp. Check it out here

Stay tuned!

After giving it much thought, we have decided to create a special version of RSS Menu for the iPhone. It will contain a very small set of features ofcourse, but for the most part it will the same application.

Stay tuned for more news.

Update: this is ofcourse an April Fools joke. However, we are comitted to make software for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

A new update to RSS Menu is now available. This version fixes a bunch of bugs that slipped through previous versions, especially with Atom feeds.
It also fixes a bug that would generate a bunch of cache files.

It is recommended that you update to this version.

RSS Menu 1.11.1 is now available. It fixes a significant amount of bugs and has improved stability.

You should update to this version if you were using 1.11.

Just a quick message for the people that are having problems with RSS Menu 1.11. We are fully aware of the problems it has and are currently beta testing a new version.

Once this version passes, we will release an update asap.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

RSS Menu 1.11 has been released today. It doesn't have any new features (since we are still working on 2.0) but it has a bunch of bug fixes and enhancements.

The reason of this release is simple: RSS Menu 2.0 will require Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, since version 1.10.x was quite buggy, we decided to make a new update just to support the people that have not yet switched to Leopard.

On the technical side of things, 1.11 uses the core of 2.0 and so it should feel much more faster than any version of RSS Menu that has gone before it. Therefore, fixing bugs in 1.11 will be much easier than if we had used the 1.10.x core.

So while we work on version 2.0, please update your copy of RSS Menu to 1.11, it's free (but you know we like donations).

First let me get something out of the way. There won't be any further development on RSS Menu 1.10.5.1 and older. We are well aware of the fact that this release has some bugs, like the read articles not being remembered. You can still send us questions about it, but we will not release an update any time soon.

The biggest reason for this is that we have our hands full with RSS Menu 2.0. The core of this application has been upgraded and is much better. It's almost a 50% rewrite from the previous version and allows us to add more features, without having to modify the code base.

I can't tell you yet about the new features in version 2.0, only that it runs and is wicked fast!! One thing I can say is that Keychain support now works as it should.

Other than that, RSS Menu 2.0 looks pretty much the same as 1.10.x, well not entirely the same :)

So after a bit more than a week, RSS Menu is finally starting to take shape. We have fixed several ancient bugs and optimized the application a lot. For instance, back in the 1.x days, the menu itself was updated almost constantly, which is the main reason why RSS Menu would sometimes generate a lot of CPU activity.

On the current internal version, we only update when it's necessary, eg when a new menu item is added (like the "Update all feeds"). The way we process groups is also much better.

Currently we are working on OPML export/import, the RSS Menu Library and making sure the app doesn't crash or hang.

Again, once this process is done, we can start adding the exciting new features.

So keep reading..

After more than a month since the last news post, we decided is was time to let you know what we are up to.

It's probably no surprise, but all of our time is going into the new version of RSS Menu. Not only will version 2.0 have the necessary bug fixes, but it will also have new features, some of them never seen on a Mac application.
It's still too early to mention some of those features, in fact development of those features hasn't yet begun. First we have to make sure the application is fast enough and doesn't contain any bugs.

Keep an eye on this site for the latest developments on RSS Menu 2.0 and our other projects.

It's been very quiet around here. However, we have some good news coming up.

For starters, we'll be doing more than just software development. We are now offering sound and web development aswell.

On the software side of things, we are still developing RSS Menu 2.0 among other projects (both new and old).

And on the lighter side, we'll be doing a whole new project soon and we are waiting for what MacWorld will bring...

As always, stay tuned!

The whole team at e dot studios wishes you the best for 2008. We have a big list of plans for the next year so just stay tuned!

A new version of RSS Menu has been released fixing some bugs left in the previous version. This is the last version of 1.x

From now on, we'll focus exclusively on RSS Menu 2.0, along with some new applications.

Update: For some users RSS Menu was crashing a lot. Version 1.10.5.1 fixes this issue.

Welcome to the new design of the e dot site. A fresh new design that is more user friendly and should be (fingers crossed) more compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch.

We hope you like the redesign as much as we do. There will be some fine tuning during the following days, so if you wish to send us any feedback we would really appreciate it.

The guys at Widgetop have "ported" our Movie Trailers widget so that it would work on any webbrowser.

In theory, this is our first widget that also works on Windows systems.
