WebChangeMonitor allows you to monitor multiple webpages tracking changes based on webpage content.

WebChangeMonitor permits you to monitor several protocols, including HTTP and HTTPS. It also lets you view and record any webpage content differences. It is essentially a hybrid RSS reader with some options not offered by strictly a reader like displaying the GUID for the webpage, for instance.

Release Notes

Dear all,

release 22.10 will address two major items: 1.) Security: The underlying network library has been updated (actually several times) to addresses security issues, including critical once. It is unlikely that these could be exposed with WCM, but nevertheless I like to stay up-to-date when it comes to security. 2.) The path handling for the files with a non-portable install was erroneous under certain circumstances. This should have been fixed now and is a pre-requisite for the MS Store (I am still targeting to release WCM there). A few others things like debug logs have been introduced, too.

Changelog

Dear all,

release 22.11 comes with several fixes and enhancements. The "retry-bug" has been fixed that caused WCM under certain conditions to no longer check items if retry was enabled. The configuration of the log / log file has been improved and all files can now be made portable. To achieve that, WCM now also ships a simple sound-file for sound alert. Also, a few core libs have been updated to their latest version available which in return fixes partially security issues.

Changelog

Released for technical reasons. Use this or 4.2.6. No problem.

4.2.6

Added:

    Bunch of premade sample article filters added to "Article filters" window.
    Placeholders in external tools definitions can be now arbitrarily placed.
    Article RSS enclosures can now be added from within article filters.
    Added customizable skin color for feeds with NEW articles. So now it is possible to distinguish between NEW and UNREAD (but old) articles. ( #850 )
    Added application debug log dialog. See "Help" menu for more.
    Too big fetched feed icons are now automatically scaled down to fixed size (48x48).
    Now it is possible to run post-process script when importing OPML. ( #848 )
    Now it is possible to change "User-Agent" HTTP header. ( #835 )
    Added now column into article list which shows labels for each article. ( #768 )
    Now it is possible to "suppress" feed. Suppressed feeds do not trigger notifications. ( #745 )

Fixed:

    HTML detection on the QTextBrowser viewer is now more precise. ( #813 )
    Article decoding for Nextcloud News works better. ( #814 )
    Inoreader built-in API tokens are removed, because they were abused.
    Default AdBlock lists now have corrected URL addresses.
    Fixed full-article scraper "scrape-full-articles.py".
    Do some preparations and code cleanups for adding "lite" RSS Guard variant to Flathub.
    Nextcloud News plugin processes "mediaThumbnail" and "mediaDescription" when parsing articles. ( #831 )
    Avoid appending empty RSS enclosures to articles. ( #832 )
    AppImage reverted to Qt 5 as Qt 6 support in AppImage generator is very very buggy.
    All dialogs where icons/images are selected now load their "formats" dynamically to support all possible image formats correctly. ( #834 ) This effectivelly adds "webp" and other formats on systems where it is supported.
    Fixed crash. ( #849 )
    Enable smooth-scrolling by default. ( #793 )

Changelog

Added:

    Massive update for feed fetching mechanism. It is now very parallelized and performance gain should be brutal. On my development PC with 4 cores (Intel i5) I observed 800 % performance boost. Note that this feature required huge number of changes on source code so there could be some corner case regressions or not so polished situations. File bug report when that happens. Also, number of threads used by this feature is configurable via --threads command line switch. This parallelization approach will also be applied to some other parts of application in the future, particularly for some massive batched network operations in some plugin - TT-RSS, Greader or Gmail - which will result in massive performance boost too.
    RSS Guard is now available on Flathub in two distinct variants - "full" and "lite" (same as "nonwebengine").
    Suffix ".xml" is also accepted for OPML 2.0 files.
    Brutal speed enhancements when importing OPML 2.0 files. Whole functionality is now properly parallelized and performance boost is potentially massive, depending on number of your CPU cores/threads.
    Qt 6 bumped to 6.4.2 version - this fixes some regressions.

Fixed:

    Some random Mac OS X crash. ( #866 )
