SimplePie Beta 2 is now available!

After several months of toiling over this release, and the past few weekends pouring over the documentation, we are now very proud to release SimplePie Beta 2!

Nearly every major feature has been enhanced, as well as the addition of several new ones. Be sure to read the upgrade docs if you’re upgrading from Beta 1 or the Preview Release. People who were using trunk builds should be able to just drop this file in as a replacement for any previous simplepie.inc file.

We’ve also added a Wordpress plugin and a MediaWiki extension to the mix. And as always, if you have any questions, comments, or need clarification on anything, be sure to swing by the support forums. We’re there a lot.

Enjoy!

We need your feeds!

RSS and Atom feeds that aren’t either UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 have proven difficult to find, so I’m calling out to all of you. If you read or publish feeds that are in a character set other than these two, please post them here in the comments. We’ve just finished adding iconv support to SimplePie, and want to test that support (it’s in the trunk build as of this moment). Any help along these lines would be appreciated.

SimplePie 1.0 Preview Release is now available!

The newest release of SimplePie is here! There is barely a single unchanged line of code in this release, as we’ve been working for months to completely overhaul the entire SimplePie engine, and we’ve added several new features while we were at it.

I could sit here and go over each and every things that’s new or better or changed, but I’ve already done that. To find out more about SimplePie, and what all it can do, check out the official SimplePie website.
