* Support for Atom 1.0.
* Support for iTunes extensions.
* Support for dc:contributor.
* Universal Feed Parser now captures the feed's namespaces. See
Namespace Handling for details.
* Lots of things have been renamed to match Atom 1.0 terminology.
issued is now entries[i].published, modified is now entries[i].updated,
and url is now href everywhere. You can still access these elements
with the old names, so you shouldn't need to change any existing
code, but don't be surprised if you can't find them during
debugging.
* category and categories have been replaced by tags, see feed.tags
and entries[i].tags. The old names still work.
* mode is gone from all detail and content dictionaries. It was
never terribly useful, since Universal Feed Parser unescapes
content automatically.
* entries[i].source is now a dictionary of feed metadata as per
section 4.2.11 of RFC 4287. Universal Feed Parser no longer
supports the RSS 2.0's source element.
* Content in unknown namespaces is no longer discarded (bug 993305)
* Lots of other bug fixes.
Universal Feed Parser is a Python module for downloading and parsing
syndicated feeds. It can handle RSS 0.90, Netscape RSS 0.91, Userland
RSS 0.91, RSS 0.92, RSS 0.93, RSS 0.94, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom,
and CDF feeds.
To use Universal Feed Parser, you will need Python 2.1 or later.
Universal Feed Parser is not meant to run standalone; it is a module
for you to use as part of a larger Python program.
Universal Feed Parser is easy to use; the module is self-contained
in a single file, feedparser.py, and it has only one public function,
parse. parse takes a number of arguments, but only one is required,
and it can be a URL, a local filename, or a raw string containing
feed data in any format.
