Er bestaan diverse programma's om rss-feeds te kunnen lezen. Snarfer is misschien een niet zo bekende, maar daarom zeker geen mindere. Afgelopen zondag is versie 1.0.2 van het programma uitgekomen en de download kan hier worden gevonden. Het programma is gratis in gebruik en heeft het .Net Framework nodig om zijn werk te kunnen doen. Ook Tweakers.net heeft enkele feeds voor je in de aanbieding, zodat je altijd op de hoogte bent van de laatste nieuwsberichten en meukartikelen. Hieronder zijn alle veranderingen te vinden die vanaf versie 1.0 zijn aangebracht:

- Connections that bypassed the proxy were incorrectly setting proxy headers.

- URIs with escaped character sequences should only be unescaped when valid utf-8.
- URIs consisting solely of fragments were failing to convert to IRIs.
- With the preview pane disabled, opening the original article from the message menu wouldn't open in a new tab when it should have.
- It was possible for the icon cache to end up with duplicate icons.
- An atom:content element with a src attribute but no type would cause a GP.
