Google Reader will lose Gears and support for older browsers
From the first of June, Google Reader will lose its offline reading mode, and older browsers users will see a warning that it would be nice to upgrade to newer software that supports modern web standards.
Surprisingly, the offer to upgrade to a newer version of the browser this time applies not only to Internet Explorer users, but even to fans of Chrome 3, which is on the strength of six months. In addition, Firefox 1 and 2, as well as Safari 2 and 3, got hot. However, everything is quite fair: Google Reader’s technical manager, Michael Parparita, says that instead of wasting time supporting old browsers, it's better to roll out new features.
However, besides the onset of unpleasant times for lovers of old browsers (and poor workers with Estonian sysadmins), with the departure of spring, support for Google Gears with offline operation will also go away. We've all seen this in Google Docs, but there is a replacement for Gears HTML5 came with caching data. In Google Reader, at least at first, there will be no support for caching.

However, the developers promise to work on updates to Google Reader and delight with new features. I want to believe that your favorite RSS reader will soon be rewritten using HTML5 and CSS3, and there already hope for logical support for offline reading using standard HTML5 tools. In the meantime, Google engineers are advising for offline reading to use desktop RSS clients that support synchronization with Google Reader.
Just do not be upset - the arrival of these (for some) not very pleasant news coincides with the onset of summer, and this, damn it, is awesome! ^ __ ^
