Changes in version 2.7.x

The 2.7 series was a brief but necessary transition towards some of the core ideas in version 3.0.

Ultra-liberal Feed Parser 2.7.6 was released on January 16, 2004.

• fixed bug with StringIO importing

Ultra-liberal Feed Parser 2.7.5 was released on January 15, 2004.

• added workaround for malformed DOCTYPE (seen on many blogspot.com sites)
• added _debug variable

Ultra-liberal Feed Parser 2.7.4 was released on January 14, 2004.

• added workaround for improperly formed <br/> tags in encoded HTML (skadz)

• fixed relative URI processing for guid (skadz)
• added ICBM support

Ultra-liberal Feed Parser 2.7.3 was released on January 14, 2004.

• reverted all changes made in 2.7.2

Ultra-liberal Feed Parser 2.7.2 was released on January 13, 2004.

• “Version 2.7.2 of my feed parser, released today, will by default refuse to parse this feed. It does a first-pass check for wellformedness, and when that fails it sets the ‘bozo’ bit in the result to 1 and immediately terminates. You can revert to the previous behavior by passing disableWellFormedCheck=1, but it will print arrogant warning messages to stderr to the effect that anyone who can’t create a well-formed XML feed is a bozo and an incompetent fool.” source

Ultra-liberal Feed Parser 2.7.1 was released on January 9, 2004.

• fixed bug handling &quot; and &apos;
• fixed memory leak not closing url opener (JohnD)
• added dc:publisher support (MarekK)
• added admin:errorReportsTo support (MarekK)
• Python 2.1 dict support (MarekK)

• really added support for trackback and pingback namespaces, as opposed to 2.6 when I said I did but didn’t really
• sanitize HTML markup within some elements
• added mxTidy support (if installed) to tidy HTML markup within some elements
• fixed indentation bug in _parse_date (FazalM)

• date is duplicated in modified and vice-versa
• date_parsed is duplicated in modified_parsed and vice-versa
