NewsMac Pro 1.2 in the wild

NewsMac Pro 1.2 has landed, and with it have come quite a few enhancements, including:

• tabbed browsing
• a better built-in browser with Google search
• option to automatically open/play donwloads/enclosures
• respecting feed groups on OPML import (I haven't seen many other apps that do this)
• improved layouts, with a new "traditional" option
• new themes and various user-requested UI enhancements

Bug fixes, of course, are also in the list of updates and improvements to this very unique OS X newsreader. One gripe that I have though: the author decided to remove the 30-day limit in exchange for only being able to add 10 news feeds until you register. For someone like me who has over 260 feeds in their favorite news reader, the 10-feed handicap is hard to swallow. Either way, I've played around with NewsMac Pro and find it's a great reader, with some unique features, such as syncing to a Palm, that others just don't have. Give the demo a spin if you're on the market for a good newsreader with which to read TUAW, and whatever other sites you might be interested in.
