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