RSS Guard 3.8.0 changelog:

Added:

New bundled icon theme - Numix (https://numixproject.github.io) (Windows only).
Numix is now default icon theme.
Built-in web-base message viewer now uses mini.css (https://minicss.org) instead of Bootstrap. This will make viewing of messages quite faster while being more lightweight.
Message body now has "auto" reading direction - enhances support for RTL messages.
JSON feeds (https://www.jsonfeed.org) are now supported.
Added basic CLI interface, run "rssguard --help" to see its API overview.
Message view header context menu now uses non-closable menu for column show/hide operations.
Background color of rows in feed/message list can now be alternated.
Message titles are now properly sanitized before messages are processed by message filters.
There is a new documentation (WIP)

Support for labels:

Labels are even synchronizable for Inoreader and TT-RSS.
Each message can have assigned multiple labels.
Feed's view now offers "Labels" folder with handy per-label filtering.
Labels assigned in message are now even available in message filtering.
You can assign arbitrary color to each of your labels.

Fixed/changed:

Correct icons are now downloaded when fetching metadata for RSS/ATOM/JSON feeds.
Fixed crash when clearing contents of statusbar.
Translations synchronized.
Message previwers were completely overhauled to support displaying of (active) labels.
Codebase of web-based and text-based message previwers was unified, they now share all common code.
Some fixes for message filtering mechanism.
Scroll position within message viewer is now remembered if message gets reloaded.
Text-based message viewer now handles newlines better.
Fixed OPML export/import for some feeds/categories which could be skipped due to various specific errors.
Synchronization logic for "feeds" is now more universal, resulting in better behavior when running "Sync in" actions.
Obsolete Qt-related code removed/replaced.
Source code does not use hardcoded GUI colors anymore. They are fetched from active skin instead, making some texts more readable and GUI more consistent.
Fixed various MySQL-related problems and errors which rendered MySQL DB backend unusable for many users.
Icon themes are not bundled on Linux anymore, RSS Guard fully relies on system-wide themes now.
Big thanks to ttrss.info for providing Tiny Tiny RSS account for testing.
