Hi there,
I'm really pleased to announce the second public release of MyNewspaper.
MyNewspaper v1.2: "faster (25-35%), cleaner (100%), smaller(69%) and even
more robust(100%)".
If you liked the first version but thought... uhmm it's buggy and slow,
then this is your release. In fact first version was a proof of concept
to get some attention and feedback.
What is MyNewspaper after all?
==============================
MyNewspaper is a personal RSS Aggregator and Reader, licensed under GPL.
Why? As everybody says, I couldn't find any which fulfills all my
requirements. In fact I used liferea and was pretty happy with it, but
it eats lot of memory when you have many feeds and the program is
running for much time, but the main problem was that it's a desktop
program and I couldn't read the feeds from the work.
So I started writing my own RSS aggregator and reader. MyNewspaper is
written in Python with a bit of javascript and uses sqlite as permanent
storage for the articles. From v1.2 up sqlobject is used as an abstraction
layer for database access, so it would be very easy to support other
database engines.
It is installed as a CGI, so in order to use and manage it you need a
web browser and a web server. Feeds are updated by a command run by cron
or from the WebUI.
Changes
=======
v1.2: "faster (25-35%), cleaner (100%), smaller(69%) and even more
robust(100%)"
* a major rewrite and clean up of the whole code
* uses sqlobject as database abstraction layer
* uses Cheetah Template as html template
* generated html is valid now
* bugs fixing
IMPORTANT NOTE to upgrade from v1.0:
* download and install sqlobject and Cheetah Template
* copy all the needed files to the directory overwriting
old ones
* you need to upgrade db:
$ cd /path_to/mynewspaper
$ ./migrate_db.py
Home page and download
======================
Read more and download it from:
http://inigo.katxi.org/devel/mynewspaper
or http://www.terra.es/personal7/inigoserna/mynewspaper
Of course, all comments, suggestions etc. are welcome.
And yes, I know code is really awful now, but I wanted to make a public
release to get some feedback while improving the code.
Best regards,
