However, there is one major issue left which is the results are for
the old frozen pre-allura news feed associated with project-id=1915
so there
is no reference to the latest news result about the release of
5.9.10.
Also, if you check carefully between the present newsfeed results at
plplot.sf.net and the local "fixed" version you can see that the
news items at plplot.sf.net have a quite different allura URL
compared to the pre-allura location for exactly the same (except for
the 5.9.10 announcement that only appears at the allura location)
news results.
If you check
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/API
(thanks very much for that reference by the way) it appears the only
way to deal with news issues is via project-id. So it is possible
we
have simply been assigned a different project-id for Allura. But
typically I find all Allura locations do not have any project id at
all so I suspect the examples at the API wiki are just old, and some
different way must be used to deal with Allura news feeds using the
general form of URI,
/api/{resource}[/index][/{parameter}/{value}]...[/{format}]
that is recommended at
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/API.
So good luck figuring this out.
