Behind the scenes of SimplePie development.

If you’ve spent any amount of time in SimplePie support mailing list, you’ll immediately recognize these names. They’ve both been very helpful and influential in the mailing list, they’ve shown a [...]

SimplePie 1.1.1 is now available (also in a WordPress flavor). This is a bugfix-only release that resolves some of the things that weren’t caught until we released 1.1. Fixes include the resolution of blank enclosures, “Feed not found” errors when the cache expired, problems with UTF-16LE data in the set_raw_data() config option, and an updated add_to_digg() [...]

SimplePie is a tool that I use nearly every single day, in nearly every single project I work on. I use it partially because I work on it, and partially because I really believe that it’s the best tool for the job (when that job is RSS/Atom parsing). At the same time I know that [...]
