Here’s the changelog:

- /feeds page is now fixed, users can now add and remove feeds again.
- smarter ordering of articles from brand new feeds: getting the very first load of articles from a feed would tag those articles as being published today when they really weren’t.
- service no longer barfs on poorly configured hosts: some guy had a infinite loop redirect on his feed.
- slight UI tweaks
- fixes for some feeds that were previously uningestable

There’s still a few minor issues we’re working on (such as the occasional failure to load new articles as you scroll down the page), so stay tuned for more updates.

There’s a few minor backend changes but the biggest news is significant improvements to the system that reads our RSS feeds, hopefully permanently correcting the issue that we had when feeds would seemingly either not update, or update many days later.

This should mean that almost as soon as your favourite sites have updated their RSS feed, the new items will appear in your RSS feed.

We’re recommencing work on Feedzero after around 4 months of quietness (due to commitments on some other projects) and have a bunch of exciting plans, including improvements for new users, a new view mode, the ability to mark items as read (!!) and a few more bells and whistles. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.

This week we have concentrated on polishing up some of the more obvious bugs. Here’s a quick summary of the changes:

  • Fixed ‘Contact us’ page
  • Fixed the collapsing/expanding of articles on rating change (to stop the page jumping around when rating)
  • Better handling for broken HTML in articles
  • Better handling for timestamps on articles
  • Don’t change state of manually collapsed/expanded articles when rating
  • Improved support for RDF feeds
  • Fixed a bug resulting in multiple feed subscriptions from a single site
  • Separation of static content
  • Fixed a bug preventing the paging system from working in Safari
  • Performance improvements for the back-end feed downloader service.
  • Use ‘pretty’ URLs like /articles instead of /ViewArticles/Index.rails
  • Few tweaks for IE6 and IE7 behaviour.

We have also added linked this blog off the main FeedZero site. If you have any issues with any of the changes, please feel free to let us know in the comments!

Our next release should have a “read/unread” feature to keep track of which articles you have previously seen.
