Hi all,
I am pleased to announce the availability of the first beta version,
0.1b, of a new TurboGears extension package, TurboFeeds:
http://chrisarndt.de/projects/turbofeeds/
What is it?
-----------
Turbofeeds is a TurboGears extension which provides a controller and
widgets for for generating RSS and Atom feeds and matching display elements.
TurboFeeds was formerly the "feed" sub-package of the main TurboGears
distribution. It was extracted from the TG core to ease updating,
enhancing, and maintaining both projects.
TurboFeeds is mostly backwards-compatible with the "turbogears.feed"
package, but has lots of fixes and a few new features.
This is the first beta release, so some planned features are still
missing. I am inviting everybody to provide feedback, comments and
feature requests through the TurboGears mailing list or the trac at
htp://trac.turbogears.org/.
What's new?
-----------
Everything ;-)
- first beta release as a separate TG extension
- feed templates cleaned up, unified and enhanced
- doc strings everywhere
- new FeedLinks widget for displaying a list of links to feeds
- all exposed controller methods now take variable arguments and
keyword args to allow customizing of the feed output via URL
parameters
- semi-automatic URL handling for LINK element in feeds
- support for including stylesheet links into feed XML
- debugging log statements
- includes feed icons and a bit of CSS to make feed links look nice
- epydoc-generated API documentation
- listed in TurboGears CogBin
Where to get it?
----------------
TurboFeeds is available through the Cheesehop at:
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/TurboFeeds
and can be installed via easy_install:

There are also source distributions available, which include documentation.
The project's homepage is at:
