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 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 just works. ★
