Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of NetNewsWire 3.2.

What's new in this version:

- Ads are back — but now taking up half the space: 90 pixels tall rather than 180 pixels. Layout works better at different widths, too.
- You can buy NetNewsWire and enter a serial number — commands are in the NetNewsWire menu.
- Additional but super minor tweaks to improve Google syncing efficiency and accuracy.
- Now sending feed IDs when marking read/unread/starred/unstarred to Google — increases reliability (plus Google asked me to).
- Flagged items should now be in sync with starred items (both directions). One limitation, however — in NetNewsWire it only shows flagged items if the item appears in a feed you’re subscribed to.
- Import OPML now works again.
- Handle outside drops into the subscriptions list (run the feed-finder thing). But only one item (not multiple) is handled. Luckily that has to be by far the common case.
- You can now subscribe to authenticated feeds without crashing. Authenticated feeds are automatically excluded from Google syncing.
- Improved the logic for when a feed should be excluded from syncing automatically. If the host name does not contain a . character, or if it’s a dotted-ip host name, or if it’s a .local host name, or if it’s authenticated, or if the prefix does not start with http — then it’s automatically excluded from syncing.
- Logging status code and response to Console in hope of figuring out why login fails for some people.
- Handles the illegal , in folder names. (Yes, there was one more I didn’t know about.) Uses a . character in Google Reader instead. (Closest match.)
- Fraser has a new feed URL. (His feed is one of the defaults for new users who don’t have feeds in NetNewsWire or in Google Reader already.)
- Fixed blurry thumbnails in vertical tabs in Snow Leopard.
- Fixed the fuzzy gear button under the subs list in Snow Leopard.
- Got rid of the warning on Snow Leopard for setDrawsGrid:.
- Handles the case where a URL redirects to a URL that should be opened in iTunes.
- Fixed the off-by-one bug that led to the Console message about the split view bounds being off kilter.
- Removed a couple style sheets. Cleaned out some no-longer-used code. Removed some resources that are no longer used.
- Help book now appears on the web instead of inside the app, so I can send links to people when I want them to see something in the help book. Help book still needs updating, though.
