17-Year-Old RSS Reader for Mac, NetNewsWire, Releases v5.0 (inessential.com) 7
As promised, popular RSS reader NetNewsWire, which changed ownership last year, has released v5.0. From a blog post: NetNewsWire 5.0 is shipping! In case you haven't been following along until just now: NetNewsWire is an open source RSS reader for Mac. It's free! You can just download it and use it. No strings. It's designed to be stable, fast, and free of bugs. It doesn't have a lot of features yet, and that's because we prioritized quality over features. We will be adding more features, of course, but not quickly. We're also working on an iOS app.

This has been my favorite newsreader for a long time.
It kind of languished under different ownership for a few years, but iirc they were super cool about transitioning it back to the hands of its original author. I'm excited to see where it goes.
The only thing that could make today better is (Score:3)
if Ircle [archive.org], PIRCH [loc.gov], and iCab [www.icab.de] released new versions too.

Libreoffice has had a release, surely that is more newsworthy.

Is that Libreoffice for the Mac? Or just for all the rest of us? It isn't news if it's not Libreoffice just for the Mac.
