Desktop Google Reader 1.4 has been released ("Going WebKit") 2011-04-11
Removed both the originally integrated Internet Explorer (which was quite bad) and the Chromium engine (which was unstable) by WebKit .NET (which is fast,Pandora Clearance, renders fine and is stable)
Added an additional button to toolbar to view full article (same function as the link on bottom right of the content)
Toolbar now with separate parts which can be reorderd
Some minor bugfixes like possible crash dialog on closing the application fixed Desktop Google Reader 1.4 and the future I am quite sure you noticed we didn't hold the pace have had between the first beta releases and the 1.3 releases with new updates every few weeks. There are two main reasons - first it does everything I need for myself already and second I am focused currently on two other projects (as they are not open source I don't wanna link them here - I don't think advertisement should be done i this place).
When the second of those projects (the first is already next to an 1.6 release) finally hits the road this spring (I hope) I plan to get back to Google Reader again with more time. Until than I plan to release an intermediate release 1.4 with some minor bugfixes (see the sourcecode checkins here on this page) and using Webkit instead of Chromium (which is to much unstable in my opinion - ever tried to do a double click in the content area? Don't do so...).
I think there won't be a real "Desktop Google Reader 2.0" anymore here. Sounds bad? What I mean is that I want to do it new from scratch and create a feature complete Google Reader consumer (not only the unread items but also read, starred,Defaulting on debt could deliver big hit to consumers News for Dallas, Texas Dallas Morning News,Pandora Charms Uk, liked,Pandora Bracelets Sale, shared,Tiffany Novo, ...). Those changes (and my greatly grown knowledge in using WebServices and WPF) will let it be considered a complete new project where I start from scratch. So I think it won't take over the project here but be an own, fresh one. Stay tuned :)
