Here is the alpha release of the FeedAPI.

Need to know

After installing the modules, please visit immediately admin/settings/feedapi . It's a must here to setup the default parser and processor configuration. Decide what you want to use mainly (feedapi_aggregator or other), and give weights to the parsers and processors.
Suggested configuration changes:
1)
feedapi_aggregator -> -10 (for both parser and processors)
2)
parser_common_syndication -> -10
feedapi_feed -> -10
feedapi_item -> 10

Then generally it's not suggested to mix different processors now (for example: item processor: feedapi_aggregator, feed_processor: feedapi_feed), but if you would like to turn on both it should work.

Parser_common_syndication works only with PHP5.

Known problems

- have to setup default configuration, FeedAPI can't really detect incompatible processor configuration
- feedapi_aggregator is very experimental
- deleted feed items will be created again if the items are still present in the feed

Credits

Here I would like to say thanks all of my mentors for helping me all the time!
Special thanks for Alexander Barth, who created feedapi_aggregator module - this module mimics the core aggregator.
