10 Cacheability hacks for Adrian Woodley's blog.
13 * extras/feedparser.py
14 Upgraded to new version of feedparser.
19 Fixed glitch caused by previous changes.
25 * update-planet, XMLWriter.py, XHTMLWriter.py, RSS1Writer.py, RSS2Writer.py,
27 Stopped overwriting .blogTitle, adding a field .blogName to store the name
28 of the syndicated blogger.
29 * XHTMLWriter.py, planet.css
30 Added (heavily modified code) from [TRS] to make it show the name of the
31 blog when you hover over the name of the person. The name of the blogger,
32 and name of the article are now linked (this is not obvious after changes
35 A plugin to XMLWriter to do FOAF (Friend Of A Friend) XML feeds. FOAF
36 actually seems quite complex in what it can tell you, however the FOAF
37 feeds from the Planets is quite simplistic. This should suffice [YAK].
39 A plugin to XMLWriter to do OPML.
40 * update-planet, launch-update-planet.sh
41 FOAF and OPML support.
43 Mentions of new syndication.
45 Fixed annoying mistakes. Should really write an FAQ.
50 Cacheability improvements
52 Write output to logfile.
54 Add != operator to CacheObject
55 * launch-update-planet.sh
56 Cacheability improvements
61 XMLWriter plugin for handling RSS2 output.
62 * Added XHTMLWriter.py
63 Moved XHTMLWriter plugin out of XMLWriter.
65 Moved XHTMLWriter to it's own file, made some API changes.
67 Reflected API changes to XMLWriter, added generator for RSS2 feed.
68 Added generator for RSS1 feed.
70 Changed crontab to use launch-update-planet.sh
72 Added line to give personalised USER_AGENT.
74 Output plugin for RSS1 files.
75 * Added launch-update-planet.sh
76 A shell script to wrap update-planet.
83 Reduced update time to 5 minutes
85 Tweaked CSS to make sidebar background non-transparent.
92 Fixed some random DEBUG messages.
96 * Brought the Changelog up to date.
106 Fixed some issues to do with creating the cache.
108 Made feedlist appear in alphabetical order.
112 Caching fixes. Removed debug statements due to not finding cache, these
113 should be obvious from the status output.
118 XMLParse2 is a wrapper to feedparser by Mark Pilgrim.
119 This required a slight change to the base API, as
120 feedparser does the downloading for us. According
121 to [TRS], using feedparser and a good caching
122 system will drop our download requirement significantly.
123 * Added extra/feedparser.py
124 Mark Pilgrim's feedparser version 3.0-beta-14 from
125 http://diveintomark.org/projects/feed_parser/
126 * Added CacheHandler.py
127 CacheHandler and CacheObject are objects for dealing with
128 the caching of blog items. It will allow us to store
129 preparsed blogs in cache/ for retrieval if a new download
130 proves to be unrequired.
132 Added underline for date/entry links, because [TRS] did not
133 even realise they were links. I'm sure not underlining links
134 it a big usability faux-par.
135 Added default link style for .item
137 Changed the text slightly.
139 Added a (feed) link to the sidebar in the sections "feeds".
140 This links to the actual XML feed we are syndicating.
142 Modifications to including caching as well as changes to the
143 API used by XMLParse2, this breaks compatibility with XMLParse
146 This file. Mentions changed stuff.
148 This should be self explanatory, really.
155 Turned runtime down to 10 minutes.
173 The icon that appears in the favicon spot.
175 The title "Planet UCC"
177 The UCC "Sun" logo (appears on the right hand side).
179 The crontab used on billy.
181 The list of feeds we are downloading.
183 The Planet UCC stylesheet.
185 The text appearing in the sidebar.
186 * Added update-planet
187 The wrapper that puts a whole planet together.
189 Generic abtract XML Parser (also contains Blog objects.
190 Currently supports RSSv2 and RDF.
192 Generic abtract XML Writer. Currently supports XHTML.
