4 Cacheability hacks for Adrian Woodley's blog.
8 Upgraded to new version of feedparser.
13 Fixed glitch caused by previous changes.
19 * update-planet, XMLWriter.py, XHTMLWriter.py, RSS1Writer.py, RSS2Writer.py,
21 Stopped overwriting .blogTitle, adding a field .blogName to store the name
22 of the syndicated blogger.
23 * XHTMLWriter.py, planet.css
24 Added (heavily modified code) from [TRS] to make it show the name of the
25 blog when you hover over the name of the person. The name of the blogger,
26 and name of the article are now linked (this is not obvious after changes
29 A plugin to XMLWriter to do FOAF (Friend Of A Friend) XML feeds. FOAF
30 actually seems quite complex in what it can tell you, however the FOAF
31 feeds from the Planets is quite simplistic. This should suffice [YAK].
33 A plugin to XMLWriter to do OPML.
34 * update-planet, launch-update-planet.sh
35 FOAF and OPML support.
37 Mentions of new syndication.
39 Fixed annoying mistakes. Should really write an FAQ.
44 Cacheability improvements
46 Write output to logfile.
48 Add != operator to CacheObject
49 * launch-update-planet.sh
50 Cacheability improvements
55 XMLWriter plugin for handling RSS2 output.
56 * Added XHTMLWriter.py
57 Moved XHTMLWriter plugin out of XMLWriter.
59 Moved XHTMLWriter to it's own file, made some API changes.
61 Reflected API changes to XMLWriter, added generator for RSS2 feed.
62 Added generator for RSS1 feed.
64 Changed crontab to use launch-update-planet.sh
66 Added line to give personalised USER_AGENT.
68 Output plugin for RSS1 files.
69 * Added launch-update-planet.sh
70 A shell script to wrap update-planet.
77 Reduced update time to 5 minutes
79 Tweaked CSS to make sidebar background non-transparent.
86 Fixed some random DEBUG messages.
90 * Brought the Changelog up to date.
100 Fixed some issues to do with creating the cache.
102 Made feedlist appear in alphabetical order.
106 Caching fixes. Removed debug statements due to not finding cache, these
107 should be obvious from the status output.
112 XMLParse2 is a wrapper to feedparser by Mark Pilgrim.
113 This required a slight change to the base API, as
114 feedparser does the downloading for us. According
115 to [TRS], using feedparser and a good caching
116 system will drop our download requirement significantly.
117 * Added extra/feedparser.py
118 Mark Pilgrim's feedparser version 3.0-beta-14 from
119 http://diveintomark.org/projects/feed_parser/
120 * Added CacheHandler.py
121 CacheHandler and CacheObject are objects for dealing with
122 the caching of blog items. It will allow us to store
123 preparsed blogs in cache/ for retrieval if a new download
124 proves to be unrequired.
126 Added underline for date/entry links, because [TRS] did not
127 even realise they were links. I'm sure not underlining links
128 it a big usability faux-par.
129 Added default link style for .item
131 Changed the text slightly.
133 Added a (feed) link to the sidebar in the sections "feeds".
134 This links to the actual XML feed we are syndicating.
136 Modifications to including caching as well as changes to the
137 API used by XMLParse2, this breaks compatibility with XMLParse
140 This file. Mentions changed stuff.
142 This should be self explanatory, really.
149 Turned runtime down to 10 minutes.
167 The icon that appears in the favicon spot.
169 The title "Planet UCC"
171 The UCC "Sun" logo (appears on the right hand side).
173 The crontab used on billy.
175 The list of feeds we are downloading.
177 The Planet UCC stylesheet.
179 The text appearing in the sidebar.
180 * Added update-planet
181 The wrapper that puts a whole planet together.
