Yuri,

News Reader v4.8 crashes Windows Explorer when I use Google News RSS at http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&...output=rss . My other feeds are okay so far. The previous version did not crash with Google News RSS. I use Windows 7. Any idea why this is happening?

Any idea why this is happening?

I've reproduced, thank you very much. The problem in TLB (not in news reader). RSS have the image with url "//t3.gstatic.com/images..." and TLB try to fetch it from local network, not via HTTP. I'll publish update shortly.

Yuri,

Any news on the update?

I have fixed this bug in TLB version 6.6.9 RC2. Do you still have this problem?

Yuri,

I just downloaded and installed TLB version 6.6.9 RC2. No problems with Google News now.

Thanks.
