| 1 | 1 | FeedWordPress Change Log |
| 2 | 2 | ======================== |
| 3 | 3 | |
| 4 | -Changes from 0.992 to 0.993 | |
| 5 | - | |
| 6 | -* WORDPRESS 2.5.1 COMPATIBILITY: FeedWordPress should now be compatible | |
| 7 | - with WordPress 2.5.1. | |
| 8 | - | |
| 9 | -* WORDPRESS 2.5 INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS: FeedWordPress's Dashboard | |
| 10 | - interface has undergone several cosmetic changes that should help it | |
| 11 | - integrate better with the WordPress Dashboard interface in WordPress | |
| 12 | - version 2.5.x. | |
| 13 | - | |
| 14 | -* SYNDICATED POSTS CAN BE MARKED AS "PENDING REVIEW": WordPress 2.3 users | |
| 15 | - can now take advantage of WordPress's new "Pending Review" features for | |
| 16 | - incoming syndicated posts. Posts marked as "Pending Review" are not | |
| 17 | - published immediately, but are marked as ready to be reviewed by an | |
| 18 | - Administrator or Editor, who can then choose to publish the post or | |
| 19 | - hold it back. If you want to review syndicated posts from a particular | |
| 20 | - feed, or from all feeds, before they are posted, then use | |
| 21 | - Syndication --> Syndicated Sites --> Edit or Syndication --> Options to | |
| 22 | - change the settings for handling new posts. | |
| 23 | - | |
| 24 | -* AWARE OF NEW URI FOR del.icio.us FEEDS: Previous releases of | |
| 25 | - FeedWordPress already automatically split del.icio.us tags up | |
| 26 | - appropriately appropriately when generating categories. (del.icio.us | |
| 27 | - feeds smoosh all the tags into a single `<dc:subject>` element, | |
| 28 | - separated by spaces; FeedWordPress un-smooshes them into multiple | |
| 29 | - categories by separating them at whitespace.) Unfortunately, del.icio.us | |
| 30 | - recently broke the existing behavior by changing host names for their | |
| 31 | - feeds from del.icio.us to feeds.delicious.com. Version 0.993 accounts | |
| 32 | - for the new host name and un-breaks the tag splitting. | |
| 33 | - | |
| 34 | -Changes from 0.991 to 0.992 | |
| 35 | -* AUTHOR RE-MAPPING: FeedWordPress now offers considerable control over | |
| 36 | - how author names on a feed are translated into usernames within the | |
| 37 | - WordPress database. When a post by an unrecognized author comes in, | |
| 38 | - Administrators can now specify any username as the default username to | |
| 39 | - assign the post to by setting the option in Syndication --> Options | |
| 40 | - (formerly FeedWordPress only allowed you to assign such posts to user | |
| 41 | - #1, the site administrator). Administrators can also create re-mapping | |
| 42 | - rules for particular feeds (under Syndication --> Syndicated Sites --> | |
| 43 | - Edit), so that (for example) any posts attributed to "Administrator" | |
| 44 | - on the feed <http://praxeology.net/blog/feed/> will be assigned to | |
| 45 | - a user named "Roderick T. Long," rather than a user named | |
| 46 | - "Administrator." These settings also allow administrators to filter out | |
| 47 | - posts by particular users, and to control what will happen when | |
| 48 | - FeedWordPress encounters a post by an unrecognized user on that | |
| 49 | - particular feed. | |
| 50 | - | |
| 51 | -* BUG RELATED TO URIS CONTAINING AMPERSAND CHARACTERS FIXED: A bug in | |
| 52 | - WordPress 2.x's handling of URIs in Blogroll links created problems for | |
| 53 | - updating any feeds whose URIs included an ampersand character, such as | |
| 54 | - Google News RSS feeds and other feeds that have multiple parameters | |
| 55 | - passed through HTTP GET. If you experienced this bug, the most likely | |
| 56 | - effect was that FeedWordPress simply would not import new posts from a | |
| 57 | - feed when instructred to do so, returning a "0 new posts" response. In | |
| 58 | - other cases, it might lead to unpredictable results from feed updates, | |
| 59 | - such as importing posts which were not contained in the feed being | |
| 60 | - syndicated, but which did appear elsewhere on the same website. This bug | |
| 61 | - has, hopefully, been resolved, by correcting for the bug in WordPress. | |
| 62 | - | |
| 63 | -Changes from 0.99 to 0.991 | |
| 64 | -* WORDPRESS MU COMPATABILITY: FeedWordPress should now be compatible with | |
| 65 | - recent releases of WordPress MU. Once FeedWordPress is made available | |
| 66 | - as a plugin, each individual blog can choose to activate FeedWordPress | |
| 67 | - and syndicate content from its own set of contributors. | |
| 68 | - | |
| 69 | -* DISPLAY OF MAGPIE WARNINGS: A number of MagpieRSS warnings or error | |
| 70 | - messages that were displayed when performing an automatic update are | |
| 71 | - no longer displayed, unless debugging parameters have been explicitly | |
| 72 | - enabled. | |
| 73 | - | |
| 74 | -* BUG RELATED TO INTERNATIONAL CHARACTERS IN AUTHOR NAMES FIXED: Due to a | |
| 75 | - subtle incompatability between the way that FeedWordPress generated new | |
| 76 | - user information, and the way that WordPress 2.0 and later added new | |
| 77 | - authors to the database, FeedWordPress might end up creating duplicate | |
| 78 | - authors, or throwing a critical error message, when it encountered | |
| 79 | - authors whose names included international characters. This | |
| 80 | - incompatability has now been fixed; hopefully, authors with | |
| 81 | - international characters in their names should now be handled properly. | |
| 82 | - | |
| 83 | -* media:content BUG IN MAGPIERSS FIXED: A bug in MagpieRSS's handling of | |
| 84 | - namespaced elements has been fixed. Among other things, this bug caused | |
| 85 | - items containing a Yahoo MediaRSS `<media:content>` element (such as | |
| 86 | - many of the feeds produced by wordpress.com) to be represented | |
| 87 | - incorrectly, with only a capital "A" where the content of the post | |
| 88 | - should have been. Feeds containing `<media:content>` elements should now | |
| 89 | - be syndicated correctly. | |
| 90 | - | |
| 91 | -* update_feedwordpress PARAMETER: You can now use an HTTP GET parameter | |
| 92 | - (`update_feedwordpress=1`) to request that FeedWordPress poll its feeds | |
| 93 | - for updates. When used together with a crontab or other means of | |
| 94 | - scheduling tasks, this means that you can keep your blog automatically | |
| 95 | - updated on a regular schedule, even if you do not choose to use the | |
| 96 | - cron-less automatic updates option. | |
| 97 | - | |
| 98 | -* Some minor interface-related bugs were also fixed. | |
| 99 | - | |
| 100 | - | |
| 101 | 4 | Changes from 0.981 to 0.99 |
| 102 | 5 | -------------------------- |
| 103 | 6 | Version 0.99 adds several significant new features, fixes some bugs, and |
| 104 | 7 | provides compatability with WordPress 2.2.x and 2.3.x. |
