Release of Saint Nicolas day
-------------------------------
We celebrate with a new release. I hope every FeedAPI user prepared their boots ;)

First, the most important for developers: there is an API change. See the developer wiki page for the changes.
Scalability is improved and a some bugs are fixed. See the CHANGELOG.txt for more.

First of all, you should update from 1.3 version because serious bugs were fixed.
If you upgrade a current installation:
After updating the module, please visit update.php and apply the update. This update will fix the built-in content-type (Feed) of FeedAPI which was broken in FeedAPI 1.3. This is maybe not important for you if you do not use the built-in content-type.

Parser Common Syndication requires PHP 5.1.3.
To see the changes, see CHANGELOG.txt in the module main directory.
There are huge changes in the views integration, most important: more fields and filters.

- Full domain/scheme information for tags
- Better test coverage
- Various bugfixes
- Function name changes

As usual, you can find a couple of bugfixes in the release. You should always use the latest official release.

You can find the following new features in the release:
- Allow IP-address feed URLs at SimplePie parser
- Allow long URLs (up to 2048 char)
- Allow at OPML import to override or not to override feed title and description with the info from OMPL file
- Add skip capability of feeds. You can pause automatic feed update

Known issues:
- no FeedAPI Node Views, then no fancy Feed items at the link of the feeds
- if you create a feed w/ refresh on create settings, the promoted setting does not work (http://drupal.org/node/246604)
- OPML import works for some OPML files but sometimes it does not work, depends on the exact file. When it's extremely urgent, you can use a workaround, which is described here: http://drupal.org/node/250852
- The module is not compatible with poormanscron. If you use poormanscron, you have to refresh your feeds manually. Relevant ticket at poormanscron issue queue: http://drupal.org/node/235328

The next stable release after FeedAPI 1.0 has arrived. If you use Drupal 5, definitely this package is for you.
There are tons of bugfixes. The new features are:
- FeedAPI node prevents empty node titles
- use hashing for detecting whether feed has changed before processing it
- don't refresh feed more often than 1800 seconds
- added cross feed deduping (for details, see http://drupal.org/node/193909 )
