Last week we released Attensa for Outlook 2.0.1.29. After using it for a week, I'm impressed with the small details. I know I work here and I'm supposed to like Attensa no matter what, but I really do love the way we're streamlining Attensa to keep up with the way I work. (My boss didn't make me write that.)

Here's what our team has put into this release:

1. More robust publishing. Attensa now sends graphics to your blog service.
2. They've cleaned up some issuse with how categories synchronize between the various Attensa parts... a big one for me is that Firefox has now forgotten my deleted categories, which used to hang around far too long.
3. The River of News view in Outlook continues to mature and integrate with our Attensa Feed Server, and now has icons to indicate whether a feed is mandatory or not.
4. The Outlook team has continues to tinker with the Pod Player, so playback has improved.

Since I remove and reinstall Attensa all the time, add and remove feeds for testing and in general do awful things to my computer in the interest of Science (like deleting data files while they're in use), I've noticed that this newest Attensa version recovers from the bad things I do, usually with just a simple restart of the Attensa Engine.

There's a lot to love about Attensa in the small details of how it works. It works the way I work.
