New developer added, and a new release.

See the complete list of features above. The included versions of MagpieRSS and Snoopy have been upgrade to 0.72 and 1.2.3, respectively.

new release - rnews-0.62

This release is an update for a few things - mostly formatting and rendering, but now parses pubDate in addition to dc:date, and a security fix. I recommend upgrading, keeping in mind that rnews_config.inc has been renamed to rnews_config.php. rnews-0.62 is available at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rnews/rnews-0.62.tar.gz?download
