Product Description:
Vienna is a simple open source RSS/Atom newsreader for the Mac OSX. It has been designed to provide simple newsreading capabilities for non-technical users while still aiming to be as feature rich as commercial newsreaders. The product is under active development with new builds being planned at least once every week until 1.0 is completed. The source code for Vienna is freely available and instructions are given on the product web site for enlisting and building a copy of Vienna on your own machine.
What's new in this version:
- Fixed a potential database corruption that could occur when parsing the MacWorld feed after upgrading from a pre-build 2007 database.
- Added built-in tabbed browser support.
- Many AppleScript improvements with some sample scripts on the Vienna web site.
- Selecting multiple articles now shows all those articles in the viewer pane
- Lots of small bug fixes and minor UI improvements.

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Since I read RSS both on the Mac and the iPhone, I have been forced to move from Vienna to something else which provides synchronization. Hope this functionality will be added soon as I'm not happy at all with the replacement I have found (NetNewsWire 3.2)
NNW Replacement? - Version: 2.3.4.2305, 8/2/2009 06:17PM PST

I am looking for a replacement for NetNewsWire since its MobileMe syncing will be dropped (and Google Reader is not a consideration for me). Although Vienna lacks some of the features of NNW, it is serviceably clean and crisp. After a few days of testing I feel quite comfortable with it. Since it is open source, I may even try my hand at some hacking. Additionally, AppleScript support is perfectly adequate for accessing APIs like Twitter, tumblr, Instapaper, et al, and its database can presumably be rsync'd to other machines using launchd, and so on. All in all, a nice piece of software and worth your time for a few days test drive.
I hope the Vienna developers see the current direction of NNW as an opportunity for them to have the #2 reader people will be looking for.

Great product, great price-value!
Easy to use, regularly updated, localized, free. What else could we ask for?
You can select multiple styles, make your own smart folders, etc.
The only regret is that it would be nice to be able to select different views for each folder/feed.
