Re: [Rssview-developers] Proposal for Release Plan

[Matthias S. <sch...@su...>]

Hi *,

at least one bug i filed is related to XML/RDF Parsing ( 927822 ). 

The phenomena of older articles reapear only exists on some RDF Feeds like:

'http://www.golem.de/golem_backend.rdf'
'http://www.theregister.co.uk/feeds/latest.rdf
'http://www.macosxhints.com/backend/geeklog.rdf'
'http://www.wired.com/news_drop/netcenter/netcenter.rdf'
'http://www.heise.de/newsticker/heise.rdf'
'http://www.ftd.de/static/ticker/ftd-topnews.rdf'
'http://www.osnews.com/files/recent.rdf'

Therefore I have moved the category of this Bug to XML-Parsing and switched 
the Resolution to 'later', because this highly depends on the parsing 
decisions we have to make.

Although I would like to see a new release and would like to recommend a 
feature-freeze, there are probably two things we have to make first:

1.) Switch to informa, to get rid of parsing-related bugs.
2.) Make Folders persistent, and let users group their feeds in these folders.

I think, that giving the user the ability to create folders and then forget 
about them after a restart is a no-no. So we have to option to disable this 
feature, or make it work for a new RssViewer release.

Christoph, you have closed the corresponding Bug, have you fixed this?

cheers,

Matthias
