Release of Saint Nicolas day
-------------------------------
We celebrate with a new release. I hope every FeedAPI user prepared their boots ;)

There are not many changes for the users of the 5.x branch.
You can filter by parent feed title in views and and use location support when using Parser Simplepie.

First of all, you should update from 1.3 version because serious bugs were fixed.
If you upgrade a current installation:
After updating the module, please visit update.php and apply the update. This update will fix the built-in content-type (Feed) of FeedAPI which was broken in FeedAPI 1.3. This is maybe not important for you if you do not use the built-in content-type.

Parser Common Syndication requires PHP 5.1.3.
To see the changes, see CHANGELOG.txt in the module main directory.

- Full domain/scheme information for tags
- Better test coverage
- Various bugfixes
- Function name changes

As usual, you can find a couple of bugfixes in the release. You should always use the latest official release.

You can find the following new features in the release:
- Allow IP-address feed URLs at SimplePie parser
- Allow long URLs (up to 2048 char)
- Allow at OPML import to override or not to override feed title and description with the info from OMPL file
- Add skip capability of feeds. You can pause automatic feed update

Hopefully the last beta version before FeedAPI 1.2 for Drupal 6 will arrive.
FeedAPI Node Views is still missing. Please be patient, the next release will contain a working FeedAPI Node Views module.
Attention: People who seeks for FeedAPI Aggregator, let's see: http://drupal.org/node/230050

The first beta of FeedAPI for Drupal 6. It still lacks a functioning views integration (feedapi_node_views module). All other parts should be working fine.

Features:
# Install it on a PHP4 or PHP5 site with a MySQL or a PostgreSQL database
# Cache feed downloading to save bandwidth and time
# Turn feed items into nodes
# Turn feed items into lightweight items – use FeedAPI like the good old core aggregator
# Adjust cron processing of feeds based on elapsed time. No more php timeouts
# Get statistics about feed processing
# With Feed Element Mapper, map feed item elements to CCK fields or taxonomy
# Import your feeds from anywhere with OPML import
# Export OPML
# Inherit taxonomy and organic group settings from feeds to feed items
# Views support, having a predefined views for exploring feed items for a specific feed
# Content-type based configurable presets
# Promote items to the front page according to your settings
# 1-click feed creating block. Just supply the feed url and the feed is created
# Purge or not purge outdated feed items – it's your choice
# Automate tests (simpletest module yeay!) - easy checking for problems on your installation.
# Auto-detect feed URL, you do not have to know the RSS/ATOM link, you can just supply the site URL, for example http://drupal.org
# Access to a documented API, you can write parsers or processors and use FeedAPI’s power in feed management
# Ready-to-translate .po files in the package

Known issues:

Beta 2 release. Run update.php if upgrading from a previous version.

Changelog:

Release 0.6 with optional views integration.

Future versions _after_ 0.6 will have feedapi_item renamed to feedapi_node and might break existing installations when upgrading.

Latest stable version of FeedAPI.

Changes:

• Feed creating form is a full node form by default. The old only-URL form can be enabled.
• New "advanced feedapi options" permission - enable or disable parsers and processors settings
• Various UI improvements
• Bugfixes

If you want to use SimplePie Parser, please see the README.txt for further instructions. The simplepie.inc is no longer the part of FeedAPI drupal.org distribution.

Known issues:

Here is the alpha release of the FeedAPI.

Suggested configuration changes:
1)
feedapi_aggregator -> -10 (for both parser and processors)
2)
parser_common_syndication -> -10
feedapi_feed -> -10
