feeds 7.x-2.0-alpha1

• 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.
