- 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.
