Although we know we&#8217;ve slipped the schedule quite a bit, it&#8217;s only because we want to get this release as solid as possible.  With all of the new features we added in Beta 2, it wasn&#8217;t as stable as Beta 1.  Our upcoming Beta 3 release is shaping up to be our best release yet.  Here are a few things you can expect (mostly technical):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HTTP Conditional Get (a much more efficient cache management system)<\/li>\n<li>Better character set detection (including fixes for a few bugs in Beta 2)<\/li>\n<li>Allow the overriding of the input character encoding, as well as custom output encodings<\/li>\n<li>Support for GZIP-compressed feeds<\/li>\n<li>Support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)<\/li>\n<li>Better handling of audio\/video podcasts<\/li>\n<li>A new get_favicon() function<\/li>\n<li>More one-click subscriptions and one-click bookmarks<\/li>\n<li>Support for <code>fsockopen()<\/code> for grabbing remote feeds<\/li>\n<li>Better handling of feeds with extremely long filenames (like ebay feeds)<\/li>\n<li>Improved Atom support<\/li>\n<li>More potentially dangerous tags and attributes are stripped by default (can be overridden)<\/li>\n<li>Tweaked some default settings for configuration options for improved reliability and security<\/li>\n<li>Lots and lots and lots of bugfixes and minor improvements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For those of you who aren&#8217;t as technical, all of this essentially means that suddenly things will work better, faster, and more efficiently without you having to do anything.  There won&#8217;t be too many fancy new features, per se, but there will be a few additional power-options for the technically inclined.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also heard that <a href=\"http:\/\/laughingmeme.org\/\">Kellan Elliott-McCrea<\/a> will soon be releasing a &#8220;preview release&#8221; of the next version of <a href=\"http:\/\/magpierss.sourceforge.net\/\">MagpieRSS<\/a>.  We warmly welcome Kellan back to Feed-land (MagpieRSS has been silent since November 2005), and hope that the continued competition will help drive both products to be the best they can be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our &#8220;Lemon Meringue&#8221; release (aka Beta 3) is coming ever-closer to completion.
