Whatsnewfm is a utility to filter the daily newsletter from freecode.com, formerly known as freshmeat.net.

the main purpose is to cut the huge newsletter to a smaller size by only showing items that you didn't see before.

the items already seen will be stored in a database. after some time, the items expire and will be shown again the next time they are included in a newsletter.

if you find an item that you consider particularly useful, you can add it to a "hot" list. items in the hot list are always checked for updates so that you don't miss anything about your favourite programs.
