      <description>
        <p>Today sees a new release of Liferea with fixes, translation updates and some major changes.</p>
        <p>
          <em>Integrated Download Manager</em>
        </p>
        <p>Starting with Liferea 1.15.9 there is a simple integrated download manager. The idea is to
        be roughly on-par with the features modern browsers support. While the download manager
        is basic it should improve user experience a lot.Up until now we had a hard-coded list of
        typical download managers. This had several disadvantages. Now Liferea has a very simple
        download manager implemented using simple single thread Python network fetching. Hopefully
        this will increase usability and download workflows.</p>
        <p>
          <em>Rendering Changes</em>
        </p>
        <p>This release fixes the dark theme switching regression in the item view. The dark mode item view
        feature was lost some releases ago because of GTK4 deprecations. Since GTK4 there is no more
        GTK supported way to determine theme colors.

        To still do dark mode switching Liferea follows (Devhelp and other tools using WebkitGTK) which
        switch light/dark mode purely with CSS and static theme-independant colors.

        Sadly this will mean a visible color mismatch to the GTK theme. This is mostly appearant in
        dark mode. Also the link color is set to blueish and can't follow the GTK theme color for links anymore.

        Many other applications are also suffering from this. Sorry there is just no way to do it anymore.
        If you really hate the default CSS style please consider changing them using custom CSS.</p>
        <p>
          <em>Item View Layout Redesign</em>
        </p>
        <p>Along with the theme adaptions come a redesign of the item view. To be honest the look and feel
        is heavily inspired by Jan Lukas Gernert's NewsFlashGTK which I consider very well done. It is a very
        calm theme reducing distraction and a good balance for reading longer and shorter texts.</p>
        <p>
          <em>Reader Mode Removed</em>
        </p>
        <p>The user facing options to enable/disable "Reader Mode" in the preferences and the item view pane
        content menu are now gone. The code paths were too complicated and the results and fallback in case
        of errors was very unsatisfactory.

        Still the use of "Readability.js" the library behind "Reader Mode" is still active. It is now automatically
        applied when the HTML scraping is used. No user interaction needed.</p>
        <p>
          <em>Changes:</em>
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li>#1391: GObject refactoring nodePtr -&gt; Node, updateJobPtr -&gt; UpdateJob to allow plugins modifying the feed list. (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1387: Dark theme lost in preview window (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes HTTP redirects not working (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes memory leaks in network callbacks (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes unnecessary LifereaBrowser clearing on layout change (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>New unit tests for update handling code (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>#1388 Implemented download manager plugin, all preferences for external tools were dropped (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Refactoring of plugin management, code reorganized. Disabling plugins now does not disable base plugins (needed for auth and node sources) as this would prevent startup (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Refactoring of content scraping, processing now happens in Javascript on entire source documents. We now store a bit more data, but get better extraction results (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Support for lazy loading &lt;img data-src=""&gt; definitions. This unbreaks images when scraping some websites (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Redesign of the HTML view. Look and feel is adapted from Newsflash. There is now a max-width and less cluttered reading. (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Getting rid of XSLT in favor of using Handlebars.js (Lars Windolf)</li>

        <p>This is a release introducing some changes. First there is a new privacy setting you can
        enable: additionally to Do-Not-Track Liferea now supports the Do-Not-Sell user data setting.</p>
        <p>There is a major change to the enclosure (media attachments) handling. The build in media player
        working on a "attachment" style list view under the item content was removed. Now enclosures
        are added via HTML audio and video tags below the item content. The idea is to play those
        purely with WebkitGTK support. Downloading is still supported by right clicking on those tags.</p>
        <p>Finally a long standing issue was improved: when a feed does not provide item titles Liferea now
        uses a teaser of the item content as the title. This for example fixes the usability of Mastodon feeds.</p>
        <p>Changes:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Add Sec-GPC header support via new preference to prevent user data selling (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Drop enclosure list view in favour of embedded HTML5 audio and video elements (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Fixes #1332: Improve "*** No title! ***" for items without title (Lars Windolf)</li>
          <li>Update appdata for 1.15.6 by (bbhtt)</li>
          <li>appdata: Update screenshot captions and remove dead link by (bbhtt)</li>
          <li>Allow building with libsoup 3.0.7 by (ittner)</li>
