I know that I’m a couple of weeks late for this, but here’s my hat in the ring… Heads-up: the linked image is a 1.3 MB PNG file.
Simple PHP Gallery 1.1
• November 19, 2004 • Code, Projects, Website • 4 comments
Paul Griffin has just released SPG 1.1! For those who aren’t familiar with this project, Simple PHP Gallery is exactly that—an easy-to-use image gallery system, written in PHP. There are several new features listed on Paul’s SPG Mini-Site, but there are a few that are my favorites (as I was a beta tester for this [...]

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 [...]
It Took Me Long Enough…

The new and improved SimplePie 0.94 is out. Major features/changes in this version include: Better support for non-English feeds, significantly improved support for poorly written feeds, automatic deletion of outdated cache files, and the stripping-out of potentially harmful tags (as per Mark Pilgrim’s suggestions). There’s still a smidge of fine-tuning left to do. Although I [...]
SimplePie… Mmmm, Yummy!

I finally cracked the nut on the problem I was having with SimplePie. The compatibility fix I’ve been working on finally works for the two feeds that I was having a problem with. Thanks to Mark IJbema for nudging me in the right direction. The downside is that it slowed SimplePie down a bit. I [...]
“Wait, Didn’t He Just…?”

SimplePie 0.93 is now available. This release adds support for RSS and Atom auto-discovery, converting relative-to-the-root URL’s into absolute URL’s (like web browsers do), an improved caching process, and a variety of fixes to aid compatibility with poorly written feeds. SimplePie takes a very Apple-esque approach to feed parsing. Coming from the use of MagpieRSS, [...]
I Need Your Help!

I’ve been on a roll with SimplePie development lately (if you couldn’t already tell). Version 0.93 will probably be released in the next day or so, and at that point should be feature-complete. The remaining Pre-1.0 releases (0.94, 0.95, 0.96, etc.) will be dedicated to compatibility fixes. There are a lot of poorly coded feeds [...]
Newer-er. Better-er. Simpler-er.

In record time, SimplePie 0.92 is now available. This release adds all sorts of things such as better (and faster) caching, a user agent string, smarter handling of problematic characters and entities, and a fix for Mr. Dunstan’s feed. For those who are skeptical of “yet another feed parser”, or are hesitant to switch to [...]
