What's new in this version:

Fixed a crashing bug added in 1.8.0 that occurred when dragging or copying/pasting group names from a group list window to a message window Newsgroups or Followup-To text field.
Fixed a long-standing but hard to find leak that would cause Thoth to gradually use more and more RAM if it wasn't quit and restarted. The leak occurred when the option to batch commands was enabled and headers were fetched for a newsgroup that had holes in the unread list. Also fixed a crash that could occur when doing batched header fetching if the news server rejected the GROUP command for whatever reason.

Am about to finally upgrade to Leopard and a new Intel Mac, so I'm really glad to hear that my favorite newsreader has a version updated for that system. I really appreciate the continued updates.

...saw I bought this in early 2002 for $25.00.

Regardless, Brian has been supporting this application for more years than than and I've had use of the best Mac newsreader for more than 7 years for only $25. I just sent him another $25 because Thoth is worth it, and maybe 1.9 will appear for real. I understand burnout... rather than criticism, I'd rather pass on encouragement.

Not much progress... - Version: 1.8.4, 5/31/2009 08:31PM PST

... since the developer first released Thoth 1.8.4 more than a year ago. That's right, not even a point upgrade in more than a year. And still no Universal Binary.
I'm a registered user who used to recommend Thoth, but the developer doesn't seem to care about it any more. So paying for this app at this time just doesn't strike me as a smart use of funds.
The freeware MT-Newswatcher is almost as good as Thoth, and the shareware app Unison has left it in the dust.
