[curn-users] curn 3.2 beta 1

[Brian Clapper <bmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just posted the first public beta (beta 1) of the curn 3.2 release.
You can download it from the curn home page. (See
http://www.clapper.org/software/java/curn/download.shtml)

This release contains a number of bug fixes and enhancements. The
enhancements include:

    - Refinements to the installer to support non-English installations
      better.

    - A new ${escapeHTML} method in FreeMarker data model, allowing
      FreeMarker templates to escape special HTML/XML characters such as
      "&" and "<".

    - A new per-feed "SaveAsRSS" configuration parameter, which converts
      the (parsed) feed to an RSS format of your choice.

    - A new "IgnoreOldArticles" configuration parmeter, allowing you to
      tell curn to ignore articles past a certain age. The time intervals
      are expressed in a natural language syntax. For instance:

           IgnoreArticlesOlderThan: 3 days
           IgnoreArticlesOlderThan: 1 week
           IgnoreArticlesOlderThan: 365 days
           IgnoreArticlesOlderThan: 12 hours, 30 minutes

      Valid interval names (in English) are:

            millisecond, milliseconds, ms
            second, seconds, sec, secs
            minute, minutes, min, mins
            hour, hours, hr, hrs
            day, days
            week, weeks

      If you're running curn in a Spanish or French locale, the appropriate
      Spanish or French equivalents are also available.

    - A new "MaxArticles" configuration parameter, allowing you to limit
      the number of articles displayed for each feed.

    - A new "RetainArticles" configuration parameter, allowing you to
      specify that articles are to be shown more than once. It takes a time
      interval like the "IgnoreArticlesOlderThan" parameter. For instance:

            ShowArticlesFor: 2 days

    - A new "MailIndividualArticles" configuration parameter, allowing you
      to send each article as an individual email message.

Please see the Change Log and the User's Guide for complete details on
changes, enhancements and bug fixes.

If all does well, I plan to release the official 3.2 version in the next
two weeks.
