Release notes

• Upgrade to Drupal 7.
• Expand batch support to fetchers and parsers. Drastically lowers memory consumption for large CSV imports.
• Support batching through directories on disk.
• All tests passing.

This release is the first usable upgrade from Drupal 6. It also brings full batch support for fetching and parsing with a series of API changes. This is the reason why we branched to 2.x.

Release notes

Feeds Defaults replaced by Feature modules:

Up to version 1.0 beta4, the included Feeds Defaults module captured a couple of useful default importer configurations that could be enabled as needed. This release replaces this module with three "Feature modules" capturing equivalent configurations. When upgrading from beta 4 or lower, these modules will be enabled by default. Read more about these Feature modules in the README.txt file.

Note for maintainers of Feeds plugins:

• Function signatures for FeedsProcessor::map(), FeedsProcessor::existingItemId(), FeedsProcessor::uniqueTargets(), FeedsParser::getSourceElement() have changed.
• Batching API for FeedsProcessors has changed, this affects all processors that support batching.
• If a parser uses free textfield entries for defining source elements it must override getMappingSources() and return FALSE.

Changes since 1.0 beta 4 release

• #849840 adityakg, rbayliss, alex_b: Submit full mapping on every submission.
• #849834 rbayliss, alex_b: Generalize feeds_config_form() to feeds_form().
• #907064 alex_b: Track imported terms.

Release notes

This release most importantly fixes update behavior for node processor. Upgrade from any previous versions strongly recommended.

• #854628 DanielJohnston, alex_b: Fix user processor assigns all roles.
• #838018 infojunkie: Mapper for Formatted Number CCK field. **Experimental, likely to be removed soon: #857928: Breaks installation profiles**
• #856408 c.ex: Pass all $targets for hook_feeds_node_processor_targets_alter() by reference.
• #853194 andrewlevine, alex_b: Mapping: don't reset all targets.
• #853144 alex_b: Consistent use of "replace" vs "update".
• #850998 alex_b: Clean up file upload form. Note: If you supply file paths directly in the textfield rather than uploading them through the UI, you will have to adjust your importer's File Fetcher settings.
• #850652 alex_b: Make ParserCSV (instead of FeedsCSVParser) populate column names.
• #850638 alex_b: Introduce FeedsSource::preview().
