[curn-users] Curn, version 2.5, has been released

[Brian Clapper <bmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Version 2.5 of the curn RSS reader has been posted to the web. See
http://www.clapper.org/software/java/curn/ for details.

Note: If you are upgrading from a version prior to 2.3, you must update the
clapper.org Java utility library to at least version 2.0.2. That library is
available at http://www.clapper.org/software/java/util/ and is required for
curn versions 2.3 through 2.5.

The 2.5 release has an enhancement and a bug fix. Below is the change log
entry for the 2.5 release of curn.

As usual, send questions or comments directly to me or to the curn-users
mailing list (curn-users@xxxxxxxxxxx).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

- ENHANCEMENT: The MiniRSSParser class now handles and stores multiple
  <link> elements in Atom feeds. The links are saved with URL, MIME type
  and link type (which can be one of "self" or "alternate", a subset of all
  the types supported by Atom). This allows output handlers to find the
  link that is most appropriate to their type. The HTMLOutputHandler class
  now searches for the "text/html" link and uses that, if it's present;
  if that's not present, it uses the first link marked with type "self".
  Currently, only the org.clapper.curn.parser.minirss.MiniRSSParser
  is capable of producing multiple links from an Atom feed.

  NOTE: This change affects the org.clapper.curn.parser.RSSItem and
  org.clapper.curn.parser.RSSChannel classes. Existing parser adapter
  layers must be changed, or they won't compile. (That's why this release
  is 2.5, not 2.4.1.)

- BUG FIX: Fixed to work with latest version of the ROME parser (0.6).
  (See http://rome.dev.java.net/)

  NOTE: This breaks support for some previous versions of ROME (e.g., 0.3).

Heuristics are bug ridden by definition.  If they didn't have bugs,
then they'd be algorithms.
