Apologies to those who get this twice - late night emails FTL, ignore
the previous.
Remember the RSSReader extension? Well, it was gathering dust. An
older Radiant site that I recently upgraded to 0.7.x was using it, and
it wouldn't work anymore after the upgrade, so I rewrote it. Things
have changed a lot in feed-parsing libraries too, since the last time
this site was upgraded. The new hotness is Paul Dix's Feedzirra library,
which uses a combination of native libxml bindings, a very SAXy machine,
and a heaping of awesome DSL to become the fastest feed parser available
to Rubyists! So naturally, I chose Feedzirra. As a result, the new
feed_parser extension is much faster and has support for Atom and
multiple versions of RSS. And imagine this - for once I even decided to
write decent documentation!
Here's the goods:

Make sure you read the README to get the proper installation
instructions for Feedzirra - it can be a little tricky, depending on
your platform. OS/X Leopard (not MacPorts) and Ubuntu 8.04 work just fine.
Here's the page where I'm using the extension: http://diopa.org/news/world
Enjoy, and Be Radiant!
