* Fix fallback for titles that contain malformed HTML.
* Fix atomic saves to avoid garbling config and data files if the disk is full.
* Convert the `friendly-name` boolean to the new `name-format`
setting. This allow users to customize how the friendly name is
constructed.
* Demote guessed encodings logs from 'error' to 'warning'.
v3.5 (2013-06-05)
* Added digest generation and post-processing hooks.
* Fix html2text configuration (ignored since 2012-10-04).
* Fix opmlexport crash due to orphaned feed data.
* Use feed names in OPML 'text' attributes.
v3.4 (2013-05-14)
* Added post-processing hooks for user-specified message manipulation.
* Added settings for IMAP delivery. The old `use-smtp` boolean has
been replaced by a new `email-protocol` setting. Non-IMAP users
should adjust their configuration to set `email-protocol` to
either `sendmail` or `smtp`.
v3.3 (2013-04-13)
* Fix SMTP message submission logic.
* Fix error inheritence (super() calls).
* Convert html2text parsing errors to `ProcessingError`s.
* Cleanup html2text error handling.
* Drop Google Reader rel-via manipulation.
* Drop the wrapping <table> elements from HTML mail
v3.2 (2013-03-13)
* Use extended interpolation in configuration files, to allow percent signs (%).
* Added .as_string() fallback to email flattening (only used if
`use-smtp = False` and `use-8bit = True`).
* Added sendmail configuration option. Change this if you want to
use an alternative, sendmail-compatible mailer.
v3.1 (2013-02-14)
* Import __url__, __author__, and __email__ in rss2email.error,
which fixes bugs in formatting a number of errors.
v3.0 (2013-02-13)
* Changed project email (rss2email@tremily.us) and homepage
(http://github.com/wking/rss2email).
* Split static configuration parameters into a ConfigParser-read
config file (rss2email.cfg). Data that depends on the feed state
is recorded using JSON (rss2email.json).
* Use the XDG Base Directory Specification for standardized
configuration and data file locations.
* Converted the command line interface to argparse, with some
restructuring along the way.
* Added the r2e.1 man page (based on one from the Debian package).
* Added setup.py and a PyPI page for simpler installation
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rss2email).
* Added Message-ID headers to outgoing email.
* Added a test suite.
* Upgraded to Python 3.2 to take advantage of cleaner Unicode
handling and argparse.
* Require Signed-off-by lines in new commit messages, following the
Linux and Git projects.
* Potentially safer method for writing feeds.dat on UNIX
* Handle via links with no title attribute
* Handle attributes more cleanly with OVERRIDE_EMAIL and DEFAULT_EMAIL
2.70 (2010-12-21)
* Improved handling of given feed email addresses to prevent mail
servers rejecting poorly formed Froms
* Added X-RSS-TAGS header that lists any tags provided by an entry,
which will be helpful in filtering incoming messages
2.69 (2010-11-12)
* Added support for connecting to SMTP server via SSL, see SMTP_SSL option
* Improved backwards compatibility by fixing issue with listing
feeds when run with older Python versions
* Added selective feed email overrides through OVERRIDE_EMAIL and
DEFAULT_EMAIL options
* Added NO_FRIENDLY_NAME to from from address only without the friendly name
* Added X-RSS-URL header in each message with the link to the original item
2.68 (2010-10-01)
* Added ability to pause/resume checking of individual feeds through
pause and unpause commands
* Added ability to import and export OPML feed lists through
importopml and exportopml commands
2.67 (2010-09-21)
* Fixed entries that include an id which is blank (i.e., an empty
string) were being resent
* Fixed some entries not being sent by email because they had bad From headers
* Fixed From headers with HTML entities encoded twice
* Compatibility changes to support most recent development versions
of feedparser
* Compatibility changes to support Google Reader feeds
2.66 (2009-12-21)
* Complete packaging of all necessary source files (rss2email,
html2text, feedparser, r2e, etc.) into one bundle
* Included a more complete config.py with all options
* Default to HTML mail and CSS results
* Added 'reset' command to erase history of already seen entries
* Changed project email and homepage
* Made exception and error output text more useful
* Added X-RSS-Feed and X-RSS-ID headers to each email for easier filtering
* Improved enclosure handling
* Fixed MacOS compatibility issues
* Fixed warnings caused by Python v2.6 (using hashlib, removing
mimify, etc.)
* Deprecated QP_REQUIRED option as this is more than likely no
longer needed and part of what triggered Python warnings
* Fixed unicode errors in certain post headers
* Attempted to incorporate Debian/Ubuntu patches into the mainstream
release
* Support img type enclosures
* No file locking for SunOS
* Gracefully handle missing charsets
* Friendlier and more useful message if sendmail isn't installed
- assume that Python 2.4 and 2.5 are compatible and allow checking for
fallout.
- remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_COMPATIBLE that are obsoleted by the 2.3+
default. Modify the others to deal with the removals.
* Local feeds (/home/user/file.xml) should work
* Now really compatible with SunOS
* Don't wrap long subject headers
* New parameter CHARSET_LIST to override or supplement the order
in which charsets are tried against an entry
* Don't use blank content to generate id
* Using GMail as mail server should work
* Now compatible with SunOS
* Correctly handle international character sets in email From
Plus changes from Debian:
* Document more options in config.py
* Flesh out manual page
* Check exit status of sendmail, and die if it fails
* Use fcntl even on non-Sunos-Unix
INSTALLATION_DIRS, as well as all occurrences of ${PREFIX}/man with
${PREFIX}/${PKGMANDIR}.
Fixes PR 35265, although I did not use the patch provided therein.
- Total rewrite of email code that should fix encoding problems
- Added configurable timeout for nonresponsive feeds
- Fixed incorrectly using text summary_detail instead of html content
- Fixed bug with deleting feed 0 if no default email was set
- Print name of feed that is being deleted
- Finally added oft-requested support for enclosures. Any enclosures,
such as a podcast MP3, will be listed under the entry URL
- Made feed timeout compatible with Python versions 2.2 and higher,
instead of v2.4 only
- Added optional, configurable CSS styling to HTML mail. Set
USE_CSS_STYLING=1 in your config.py to enable this. If you want
to tweak the look, modify STYLE_SHEET.
- Improved empty feed checking
- Improved invalid feed messages
- Unfortunately, rss2email is no longer compatible with Python v2.1.
Two of the most serious lingering issues with rss2email were
waiting forever for non-responsive feeds and its inablility to
properly handle feeds with international characters. To properly
fix these once and for all, rss2email now depends on functionality
that was not available until Python v2.2. Hopefully this does
not unduly inconvenience anyone that has not yet upgraded to a
more current version of Python.
* Merge various patches for reliability
* Clean up error messages and typos
* Only log into SMTP server once
* SMTP AUTH
* Windows support
* HTML in titles
Changes in 2.52:
Fixes include better error handling and support for HTML descriptions,
Unicode headers, and Python 2.1. The most notable new feature is
that textwrapping is back. To turn it on:
echo "BODY_WIDTH = 78" >> config.py
Other new options include BONUS_HEADER (for mailing lists) and
OVERRIDE_FROM. (Check the top of rss2email.py for details on usage.)
Thanks to Peter Vangorp, Lars Wizenius, Martin "Joey" Schulze,
Ricardo Reyes, and everyone else who contributed a suggestion or
bug report.
Changes in 2.53:
Fix a mistake left in 2.52 by accident.
* An HTML mail option.
* SMTP support.
* html2text 2.0.
* A gaggle of bug fixes.
* A gaggle of small improvements.
And for 2.51:
* Fixes a crash in older versions of Python on slow feeds.
pkgsrc changes:
* Set the versions of rss2email.py and html2text.py in one place.
rss2email is a simple Python script that lets you subscribe to a
list of XML newsfeeds and get new items sent to you by email.
The man page and sample config file are from the Debian package.
