SimplePie 1.3 "Boysenberry"

• 1.3 released on 7 July 2012

This version was our first release to drop support for PHP 4. For this release, simplepie.inc was split into separate files, with one-class-per-file to enable autoloading. We've added a cache interface to make it much easier to implement your own cache backend.

• Commit 8aba553: Each class is now split into separate files. To autoload SimplePie, simply include or require autoloader.php in your project. You can also run build/compile.php to create a combined file much like simplepie.inc
• Commit bbc83bd: We now use interfaces and abstract classes for caching classes. To add your own caching method, use SimplePie_Cache::register() and implement the SimplePie_Cache_Base interface.
• We now support Memcache-based caching via SimplePie_Cache_Memcache. To use this, set your cache location to memcache://localhost:11211/?timeout=3600&prefix=sp_ (for localhost on port 11211. All tables will be prefixed with sp_ and data will expire after 3600 seconds).
• SimplePie::error() now returns an array if an error occurs while using multifeeds. The index of the array elements can be used to match up with the URL you passed in.
• SimplePie_Item now has get_gmdate() to get a date independent of your server's timezone.
• SimplePie_Item now has a ''get_updated_date()'' method (there is also a corresponding get_updated_gmdate() method).
• SimplePie_Item::get_description() now has a new parameter: set $description_only (the first parameter) to true to avoid falling back to the content.
• Class overrides are now managed by a central registry. The old set_*_class() methods are still available, however new code is encouraged to use $feed->get_registry()->register() (see ''SimplePie_Registry::register()'' for details)

• The ability to pass parameters into the SimplePie constructor has been removed. Use the SimplePie::set_feed_url() method instead.
• The SimplePie::get_favicon() and SimplePie::set_favicon_handler() methods have been removed.
• SimplePie::subscribe_*() methods have also been removed (with the exception of SimplePie::subscribe_url()).
• Commit d025026: SimplePie::enable_xml_dump() has been removed and replaced with SimplePie::get_raw_data(). This new method is always available, and you can now continue to use SimplePie as normal.
• Bug #37: We now use DOMDocument internally to parse HTML documents for autodiscovery. This may mean that sites which previously failed autodiscovery will work.
• We now use PHPUnit-style tests for all the new tests. Old-style tests have not been converted fully, but are still run via PHPUnit. All testing is now also automatically run by Travis CI on push, on the latest versions of PHP 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4.
