SimplePie 1.2 "Pecan"

  • 1.2 released on 11 July 2009
  • 1.2.1 released on 15 October 2011

This version was originally intended to finish 1.x development, adding in the remaining features that were intended after 1.0 (1.1 having mainly been taken up with bug fixes and other comparatively small features which could be done fairly quickly after 1.0). As it turned out, 1.1 was good enough for most, and 1.2 development stagnated, leaving it with a lot less new features than originally intended. Eventually it was decided the best course of action was simply to ship 1.2, as what code there was was well-tested, and move almost all development to SimplePie 2.
