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