Any advanced user want to do a bit of beta testing? I've worked on a new storage system (using sqlite3). I'd need a few users who are not afraid of losing their read/unread status, and of the command line to test the upgrade mechanism.

Note that if there are changes needed based on the feedback, this version might not have an upgrade path (meaning you'd have to uninstall FeedingIt, cleanup and reinstall).

Instructions:
- Make an OPML backup of your feeds (Manage Subscriptions->Export as OPML), to be safe
- Download and install the beta version: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa....0-0_armel.deb
- Open up the X-terminal, and type: FeedingIt
This will start up the app, and start the upgrade process (it can take quite a long time). If you're getting any errors in the terminal, please send them to me.
- Once the upgrade is complete, look around the app, and the new widget
- Send me your feedback by Private Message on this forum

If all goes well, this will be uploaded to Extras-devel within a day or two for a larger testing group.

Anyone doing it will have my eternal gratitude .
