For people using NetNewsWire via TestFlight: the current TestFlight build has expired, and it will be a few days before a new build has been uploaded and reviewed by Apple.
However, you can install the current build from the App Store. It’s exact same build as the current TestFlight build that expired. It installs over your TestFlight build without affecting your data — it’s safe to do.
Note for people using the TestFlight builds — the latest build expired today (sorry about that!), but a new one (6.1.9) is waiting for App Store review. As soon as it gets through the process, you’ll have a new TestFlight build.
If you don’t want to wait, you can of course switch to the App Store build instead without losing any data.

NetNewsWire 6.1.6 for Mac is out — do a check for updates or download it directly.
The theme of this release is using less bandwidth (and, as a consequence, less battery). It fixes a conditional GET issue and it now pays attention to Cache-Control response headers and 429 response codes.
There are also a few other small bug fixes:
Note: this version requires macOS 13 and up.
Also note: the equivalent update for iOS is in testing — if you’d like to help, you can join the TestFlight program.
