28 - Generate Atom 1.0 feeds by default. Thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa for
32 - Fixed a bug in XML::Feed::Atom where entry->link and feed->link didn't
33 return the proper link element if the "rel" attribute wasn't defined for
34 a <link /> tag. Thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa for the patch.
37 - Oops, an Atom test in 01-parse.t was previously succeeding only because
38 of a bug in XML::Atom. Now that that bug is fixed, this one is now
42 - Fixed date format errors with XML::Feed::RSS. Thanks to Tatsuhiko
43 Miyagawa for the patch.
44 - Use add_module to properly add namespaces to the RSS document. Thanks
45 to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa for the patch.
48 - $feed->author wasn't being converted properly by Feed->convert. Thanks
49 to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa for the patch.
50 - Added eval around Entry->issued calls, to properly catch invalid
51 date formats, and just return undef, rather than dying. Thanks to
52 Tatsuhiko Miyagawa for the spot.
53 - Fixed issued/modified format issue with dates in timezones other than
54 UTC. Thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa for the patch.
57 - Added XML::Feed::splice method, to make feed splicing easier.
58 - Fixed some unitialized value warnings.
61 - Added Feed->convert and Entry->convert methods to allow conversion
63 - Added ability to create new Feed and Entry objects, add entries, etc.
64 - Added $PREFERRED_PARSER variable to allow usage of compatible
65 RSS parsers, like XML::RSS::LibXML. Thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa
69 - Call URI::Fetch::URI_GONE() instead of URI::Fetch::FEED_GONE(). Thanks
70 to Richard Clamp for the patch.
73 - Use "loose" parsing in DateTime::Format::Mail so that we don't die
74 on invalid RFC-822 dates.
75 - XML::Feed::Entry->link on RSS feeds will now use a <guid> element
76 if a <link> element isn't found.
77 - Switched to using URI::Fetch when fetching feeds. Since we're not
78 storing or caching feeds currently, this basically just buys us
79 GZIP support, but that's something.
82 - Fixed bug with feed format detection: properly detect format even in
83 feeds with <!DOCTYPE> at the top. (Thanks to Alberto Quario for the
85 - Use Class::ErrorHandler instead of XML::Feed::ErrorHandler.
86 - Moved auto-discovery code into Feed::Find. XML::Feed->find_feeds is
87 now just a wrapper around that module.
90 - Changed behavior of Entry->summary to prevent it from returning the
91 full contents of the entry. Now, in an RSS feed, summary only returns
92 a value if there is both a <description> element *and* one of the
93 other elements typically used for the full content.
94 - Changed content model for Entry->content and Entry->summary.
95 They now return an XML::Feed::Content object, which knows about both
96 the actual content and the MIME type of the content.
97 - Improved feed format detection by first tag in feed.
100 - Initial distribution.
