Recent releases


Changes: The generated playlists are now more informative (publication date information has been added to content titles). Some faulty feeds and subscription lists are now handled more gracefully (invalid URLs in such documents are now simply ignored instead of causing the whole document to be skipped).


Changes: A bug that failed to filter out some illegal characters in directory names when using the --restrictednames option was fixed. The --restrictednames option is now enabled by default. The sponsor message that appears in verbose mode was updated.


Changes: The help text that appears when the --help option is used was updated. The sponsor message that appears in verbose mode was updated.


Changes: This release adds support for yyyy.mm and yyyy formats for the --horizon option.


Changes: This release adds the --cachedir option for explicitly specifying the content cache directory independently from the state directory (specified using --dir), the --language option for selecting feeds by language, the --horizon option that prevents the downloading of content older than a given date, the --restrictednames option for using content file names that are acceptable for restrictive filesystems such as VFAT, and more robust handling of feeds that use the Media RSS module. A bug in update checking has been fixed.
