Read News in a tabfolder, save favorites in categories, Export to PDF / RTF / HTML / OPML, Import Feeds from OPML, perform fulltext-search, use internal browser.  The next version of RSSOwl is available. Finally, loading any number of feeds and aggregations is now running completly in the background allowing to open feeds while a loading is running. This not only removes the annoying "Please wait..." dialog, but also improves the performance when loading aggregations.  A comparison of time it takes loading the 130 sample favorites resulted in 14.5 seconds for RSSOwl 0.82b and 90.5 seconds for earlier versions.   Improved handling of protected newsfeeds. It is now possible to let RSSOwl remember username and password so that the user does not have to enter these information everytime the feed is loading.  A lot of bugs have been fixed. Thanks for the feedback!  See the changelog for a complete list of changes.  May the owl be with you, Ben

In a new post to his blog today, Danne Lundqvist shares his method for creating a blog aggregator (in the style of the planet-planet sites) to re-aggregate all of the feeds back ou tinto one.   Lately I have begun to get more and more annoyed with my feed reader. I use a simple feed reader which lack most features except for subscribing to and reading feeds. The one thing that annoys me the most is that it can't aggregate several feeds into one feed. Yesterday I finally decided to scratch that itch.   His method uses the Zend Framework to accomplish the goal - and "the whole website logic (both model and controller) is about 200 lines of code". There's no exception or error handling in it, but it works and the Zend_Feed module works well to grab just about any kind of feed.

Padraic Brady has put together a very comprehensive post on his blog today about using the Zend_Feed component of the Zend Framework to help with the aggregation of content from other sites (like RSS and Atom feeds).   In this entry I explore Zend_Feed from the perspective of someone aggregating RSS and Atom feeds with a view to building a database of uniquely identified content for later presentation in a "Planet" style application. [...] In fact all we create here is a simple command line script to aggregate content frequently (e.g. just set up cron to run it every hour or so) into a database for later presentation.   He guides you through each step of the way:   Setting Up Database And Models The Aggregator Script Foundation Using Zend_Feed to get common data for RSS/Atom entries Putting It All Together   There's plenty of code (and SQL to insert) in the post and he explains each point well, helping to make the development process smoother. There's even a summary section to toss in a few extra bits of information just in case you missed them along the way.
