FeedMonster Beta 3

Today I've released Beta 3 of my RSS feed reader Feedmonster. This version is a major overhaul of FeedMonster (well it is when compared to beta 2). Some of the new features include: A new rss engine that is 10x more reilable and faster that its predecessor, an implementation of Tabbed Browsing. Anyway here is the changelog:

- New: Feed Engine; This one replaces the unreliable one used by FeedMonster before.
- Changed: Feed Database format; It is now an XML file that combines the feeds list (.fmf) and the feed link files (.flf).
- Changed: Web Browser controls; Same IE just a different control
- Added: Feed Auto Discovery; automatcally scans for links to RSS feeds in the pages you vist in the FeedMonster web browser.
- Fixed: Annoying Feed Selection issue; Occured when a feed was already being downloaded and the user clicked on
it again or on another feed that needed to be downloaded.
- Changed: Item Newspaper theme; Now uses a built in CSS stylesheet.
- Added: Status Bar; FMWB actually finished now
- Changed: Add feed and Edit feed moved; Now on a sidebar
- Added: Toolbar and Sidebar layout saving; Now when you reposition the toolbars and sidebars
they're automatically repositioned for you each time you start FeedMonster.
- Added: Tabbed Browser; now FeedMonster has a tabbed browser just like all the others.
- Added: Colored Tabs; Tabs in FeedMonster now have alternating background colors
- Fixed: ClickTwice feed viewing; now when a feed has never been DL'ed all you have to do is ClickOnce.
