rsstool is a tool to read, parse, merge, and write
RSS (and Atom) feeds. It has some other functions
built-in like text, HTML, or property file output,
or templates with custom tags to insert RSS feeds
into pages that could be uploaded to a server that
supports only static HTML.
Changes: This release adds a new field to the database structure,
rsstool_media_duration (if rsstool finds durations for some kind of
media in the feed, it will parse them into rsstool_media_duration, in
seconds), –enc=ENCODING, which overrides the encoding specified in the
RSS header (useful for some broken RSS feeds), –filter=LOGIC, sometimes
referred to as implied Boolean LOGIC (use this to remove items from the
RSS feed before output), –nosort, to not sort items by date (on by
default), –parse=FILE|URL to generate an RSS feed from a random HTML
document, some code cleanups and fixes, support for Atom 1.0 feeds (they
worked before, but now it says so in the usage, too), and xmlget as a
download on the Web site (accesses XML files using the XPath syntax). It
deprecates the –joomla and –dragonfly options (replaced with scripts
in contrib/) and –sqlold (and support for the other old database
structures). It removes the –curl option (it is always the default now,
if libcurl is available) and the –wget option (you may want to rely on
the curl support or use wget from a script instead).
