Gregarius – Devlog

(Reposting Sameer’s email to the greg-dev mailing list.)

Gregarius 0.5.4 Release candidate 2 is now available for thy testing pleasure. You can svn check it out using svn via the command

svn co http://svn.gregarius.net/svn/release-branches/0.5.4/gregarius/

If you prefer to download a compressed archive, a nightly is available in the nightly bin.

0.5.4 has some great new features and has lots of bug fixes and security fixes and its faster than 0.5.2.

Here is a run down of what’s new and exciting.

• Support for podcasts. (Check out the cool podcast player plugin)

• Built in password protection for your admin section. (No more rss_extra.php or messing with .htaccess files)

• A Dashboard section so that you can keep tabs on what is happenning in the world of gregarius

• Updating your feeds in parallel with Ajax

• Plugins now have config options and you can check to see if there are new versions directly from your admin section.

• Themes are supercool now. They can have different colour/layout schemes (css files), mobile versions, config options and other crazy things.

• Support for mobile devices

• Better handling of feeds which provide unique identifiers for their items. (Less duplicates!!)

• Deciding on a per-feed basis whether you want modified items to show up as unread

• A tiny smidgen of extra (experimental patch) ATOM 1.0 support

We would appreciate any help with testing. The best way is to install the release candidate and report any funny business :)
