Version 4.0 Preview of Egress is released

A "Preview" of Egress version 4.0 has been released for both PocketPCs and SmartPhones. This version adds many new features along with a redesigned user-interface. On touchscreen devices you may now scroll the screen by dragging vertically and you can change to the next and previous channels by dragging right and left.

Please let me know how this version works for you as I will be refreshing it frequently to get ready for the 4.0.0 release. Also, please pass any suggestions for future development.

The "dry" change list is as follows:

* New user interface with touchscreen kinetic scrolling (PocketPC)
* New channel wizard can now import multiple channels at a time
* Added ability to search Google for feeds
* Greatly reduced speed of feed retrieval
* Improved reporting of RSS parsing errors
* Repaired Newsgator synchronization
* Added all podcasts view filter
* Corrected handling of podcasts with same "name" but different URL
* Corrected multiple download of podcasts
* Corrected bug where erroneous directories would be created in the Channels storage
