RSS Bandit v1.8.0.855 Release
Release Overview
Update — this release had a serious bug. The original installer caused some users to lose their entire feed list when upgrading from a previous version. If you’re looking at this for historical reference, the fix landed in v1.8.0.870, folded into what’s now the current stable release.
This update covered new features and bug fixes accumulated since the last official release, v1.6.0.2.
