NetNewsWire 7 for Mac
Brent Simmons, last month:
The big change from 6.2.1 is that it adopts the Liquid Glass UI and it requires macOS 26.
(Note to people who aren’t on macOS 26: we fixed a lot of bugs in 6.2 and 6.2.1 knowing that many people might skip, or at least delay, installing macOS 26. Also note that there’s a page where you can get old versions of NetNewsWire.)
It feels a little weird for me not to be running the latest version of NetNewsWire, but since I’m skipping MacOS 26 Tahoe, I can’t run NetNewsWire 7. I am running NetNewsWire 7 betas on my iPhone and iPad, and I’ve tried it out on the secondary Mac where I do have Tahoe installed. It’s so good. And syncing works just fine with NetNewsWire 6.x, for anyone else in the fellowship sticking with MacOS 15 Sequoia. You can run NetNewsWire 7 on some devices and NetNewsWire 6 on your Sequoia Mac, and it all just works.
NetNewsWire 7 is also now out for iOS, and Brent and I talked about both versions last month when he was my guest on The Talk Show.

The Pants-Shitting Saga of Resizing Windows on MacOS 26 Tahoe Continues
Norbert Heger:
In the release notes for macOS 26.3 RC, Apple stated that the window-resizing issue I demonstrated in my recent blog post had been resolved.
You’ll never guess what happened between the RC (release candidate) version and the actual shipping version of 26.3.
Just kidding, you’ll guess.
