Release [v0.2.23] had a critical bug that caused the app to ignore any properties files when used without command line parameters.

Release [v0.2.24] fixes that issue. Release [v0.2.23] has been pulled.

NEW: Ticket #9 - It should be possible to specify feeds to be ignored as a command line argument (using -ignore=)
NEW: Command line parameter -help to print usage
ENH: Ticket #7 - Feed item description should have links to parent folder and monitored folder
ENH: Ticket #8 - It should be possible to specify more than one feed with the -feed= command line parameter
ENH: Added check for 0 ms as TTI, in which case, the thread will not sleep at all while walking the tree.
CHG: Changed command line argument parsing logic
BUG: Ticket #1 - If a drive root is specified as the location to monitor, the feed is empty

The Trac hosted app has been activated (http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/folder2feed/); primarily to serve as the bug tracker for the project. The wiki still needs to be edited.
