#D7CX pledge upheld: Taxonews received a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 was released.
A module to generate blocks containing titles of node matching terms in a taxonomy vocabulary, as links to the nodes themselves, with optional automatic content expiration based on publishing date.
Features
Module has settings for:
- Node lifetime; it defines as many blocks as there are terms in the vocabularies updated within that lifetime.
- The vocabularies used for automatic block creation.
- Inclusion of the module name in the block list, in order to group block names (True by default)
- Inclusion of blocks matching no content from the block list (True by default)
The blocks are themeable, so the list of titles can be replaced by other display choices on a per-block basis, like Drupal teasers instead of just titles, by overriding the taxonews-block-view
template (function in old versions) in a theme.

Impact on drupal / Dependencies
The module does not modify the default 4.6→7.x database structure on its own. It only uses existing content and a few variables. The 6.x/7.x branches include an uninstall feature to remove these variables.
The module needs taxonomy.module (core) to be enabled. Some features will only be available if statistics.module (core) is enabled.
Lifecycle and support
See taxonews lifecycle page off-site. In addition to community support here on drupal.org, Professional support is available from OSInet for this module.
Contributing / documentation
For developers wishing to submit patches to the module, the D6 and later branches follow Drupal coding standards. Earlier versions followed the OSInet coding standards.
