How to upgrade GreatNews
- If you use GreatNewsSetup.exe before, please download the newer GreatNewsSetup.exe and run the setup.
- If you use GreatNews.zip before, please download the newer GreatNews.zip and unzip to your existing greatnews directory, overwrite existing files when prompted to.
Both GreatNewsSetup.exe and GreatNews.zip will keep your subscriptions, and will upgrade them to new data formats automatically if necessary.

New install or upgrade?
Yesterday I got a chance to check last week’s server log: 10K+ downloads in a week because of the new public beta. Not bad for a tiny rss reader in a crowded market, especially considering I hasn’t published it on any download sites like C…

This ‘How to upgrade’ doesn’t tell me how to update GreatNews on my pen drive… Is there a separate stand-alone version? BTW: I did try to update - after a backup

J, just unzip to your pen drive.

It’s popular *because* its tiny. I was using RSS Bandit, which is very good, but is a resource hog. Great News much more lightweight. That is your niche. If this app becomes bloated you’ll probably lose a lot of people. You have very good functionality here.
