rss4linux News

This release added support for more than one channel.

I also decided to save the channels in a simple array instead of a sorted binary tree since it doesn't really affect performance but makes the code a lot easier. To see the other changes lokk at the git repository at http://rss4linux.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=rss4linux/rss4linux;a=summary

Hi, the upload of rss4linux .30 tokk longer than I supposed, but now here it is. I also completely removed the old git repository and started from scratch.

This upload is the first one you can really use to read RSS feeds (it's not very convenient and you can only read 1 channel, but it still counts). See the bugtracker for bugs

After a lot of work i wondered "why are you reinventing the quadratic wheel?" and wrote an RSS parser based on the libxml2 and a first small user interface based on the readline library. I will upload a new version of rss4linux (0.20) during the next days. The following features will be available:

user interface able to load a single hardcoded channel and list its its elements

After a really long pause here is the next release of rss4linux. I experimented in this time with things as bison and flex, but then decided to completely rewrite the project from scratch. I decided to split the project into several programs. The first one of these (r4l_netget, an HTTP file retriever) is finished and contained in the archive you can download here.

I managed to clean up my git repo at last and this is the promised commit. I don't pack them as release file because there is an segmentation fault in the parser I'll fix before releasing

I'm sorry for the long pause since the last commit, but I am not so trained with the git-branching philosophy and my repository is a mess at the moment. I'll commit a huge chunk as soon as my repository is cleaned up

After a quite long pause her comes release 0.03. It has some important changes, here are the details

Introduced new:

* now parses all required channel elements (and prints them)
* now looks for the fastest getaddrinfo result instead of the first possible

Fixed :

* fixed a bug which made the program end the download before having all the file

From now on I will submit bugs and failures I find to the bug tracker. This looks like some kind of shizophrenia but I think the development process will be much opener. If you want to fix a bug just get the code , start hacking and send me an email so i can pull it.

Version 0.02 mostly contains internal changes (it now has a nicer HTTP header parser). On HTTP errors some informational text is now printed instead of a single strerror(EPROTO). The text of the GPL is also added to the directory

From now on rss4linux is on sourceforge. I hope to receive much feedback (especially on stylistic issues)
