Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
We are using a new versioning pattern now. Instead of increasing the beta
version, we increase the minor version. This reflects better the fact that
our releases are usually feature releases and allows us to create preview
releases using alpha and beta flags.
New features and changes since Managing News 1.0 beta 10
- Digest GeoRSS - locations in GeoRSS enabled feeds show up on maps.
- Better export of GeoRSS - GeoRSS elements now include a feature name.
- Export KML - export any page in Managing News as KML.
- Configurable map color: go to Theme settings and pick your map color.
- Location vocabulary and Channels tags are merged into one vocabulary now. You
can now tag items manually with geo terms just like you used to do that with
plain terms and use plain terms in addition to geo terms for automatic
tagging.
- Feeds can be tagged and feed items inherit tags. Go to a feed node,
edit it and tag it with any tag. Future feed items coming in from this feed
will bear the same tags. When using the same tag on a Channel node, feed items
of a particular feed will be automatically added to a Channel.
- Experimental: Optionally use PubSubHubbub. To enable PubSubHubbub, go to
admin/build/feeds, edit the Syndication importer, edit File Fetcher settings
and check the PubSubHubbub checkbox.
- Added profile level tests with mn_test module.
- Updated rebuild.sh
- Move all features and MN only custom modules to profile repository.
- Upgrade to latest Feeds HEAD.
- Allow for experimental pubsubhubbub support (edit syndication importer on admin/build/feeds, check 'use pubsubhubbub' on fetcher settings).
