SharpReader is an RSS Aggregator for Windows. Features include the ability to handle all RSS versions, ATOM, modules like dublin core, advanced threading support that allows you to view connected items together in a threaded fashion. SharpReader also detects and shows connections between items if they have same link, if one item links to another, if two items both link to the same external webpage, or if an item has comments (for feeds supporting the standard). In addition, SharpReader groups subscribed feeds into custom categories and reduces bandwidth by using HTTP Conditional GETs and gzip/deflate encoding. This new version adds Atom support.
