SimplePie 0.95

by Ryan Parman • October 10, 2004 • Code, Projects, Syndication, Technology • 3 comments

SimplePie 0.95 is now available. Anyone who is using any other version of SimplePie should update now. Major features/changes in this version include: Much improved support for reading all feeds, resolved display issues with < code > and < pre > tags, and added the ability to alter the display of feed dates using PHP’s date() variables.

This version is pretty much feature-complete. The only remaining pre-1.0 work will be testing and catching any remaining bugs. I might add a couple of minor features, but nothing too major. I’m open to feature requests for the 1.0 – 1.1 releases, so if SimplePie is missing something or if it should have something that other parsers don’t, let me know.

« Update » If you downloaded SimplePie within 60 minutes of this posting, you should re-download it. I fixed a glitch that affected feeds from East of GMT, and some related documentation.

Nice job, but there is one thing I noticed. XMLize chokes on … if it contains something like , which is perfectly valid according to specs. You should perhaps add a CDATA around it.

Uh… that didn’t make any sense to me. Were there tags in there or something? If so, you’ll need to escape the angled brackets as &lt; and &gt;.

Also, sending me specific feeds that don’t work will help me test and improve better.

Sorry for the lack of information. So let me try again ;) Here are two feeds SimplePie has trouble with:
