NetNewsWire 6.2
Brent Simmons (release notes):
Long-time Mac users will understand when we say that this is a Snow Leopard release — it fixes a bunch of bugs, makes some things faster, and adds only a couple features.
[…]
Note also that it doesn’t adopt Liquid Glass. We’ll be doing that in NetNewsWire 7, which we’re working on now. (See The Liquid Glass Plan.)
All that said — there is one new feature of potential interest: we’ve added support for Markdown in RSS feeds. When the parser encounters a
source:markdownelement, we save it in the database, and the app renders the Markdown as HTML and displays it in the article view.
I still love this app and how fast it is. I’m using it to read Mastodon and Bluesky, in addition to all of my RSS feeds. It looks like they’ve figured out the bug that makes me have to restart the app daily to keep Feedbin syncing working, but the fix has been postponed until 7.1.

I've used NNW forever, but this version has a major bug. Simmons says to update on macOS with Check For Updates. Response: v6.1.9 is current.
Oh.. come to think of it..
The bug is apparently in v6.1.9. The bug is that it will not update to 6.2 and reports the existing, old version is up to date. I will have to do a manual install, I should probably export my OPML first, just to be safe.
