FeedTools 0.2.25: Now with 625 lines of monkey patching, and all the same terrible performance you’ve come to expect!

I decided to extract all of my REXML monkey patches out into a single file instead of leaving them all in feed_tools.rb for this release. Tests should all pass on Ruby 1.8.4 now. And Sam Ruby’s feed should be handled correctly again. His use of ”.” as his link uri caused one of the parser’s heuristics to throw a hissy fit and misreport the feed’s uri as nil and the value of the feed’s link as the feed’s uri. Weird stuff. Anyways, that works again. (NetNewsWire was breaking on Sam’s feed last I checked.) HTTP redirection handling has been changed in that FeedTools won’t barf if a relative Location: header is supplied. And the parser should generally work a little bit better with FeedUpdater.

I’ll probably make another release when I get around to integrating my new URI code. After that, that will likely be the last release for quite some time. Virtually all of my free coding time will be being spent on GentleCMS instead. Just a heads-up.
