Negative side-effect: users of the option to automatically mark updated articles as unread will once have some articles with enclosures re-appear as unread
In this release, we have restarted to focus on features. A long-awaited feature has been added, namely sorting articles by various criteria: received date (existing, default), publication date, title, link, random.
A few highlights ✨:
Add order-by options to sort articles by received date (existing, default), publication date, title, link, random
Allow searching in all feeds, also feeds only visible at category level with &get=A, and also those archived with &get=Z
In this release, the coding focus has been on moving to PHP 8.1+ and refactoring the integration of the SimplePie library (which was long due). At the same time, plenty of new features have been added. Enjoy! 🎄
Breaking changes 💥:
Require PHP 8.1+ (and improved support of PHP 8.4+)
Require PostgreSQL 10+ or MariaDB 10.0.5+ or MySQL 8+
⚠️ Advanced regex syntax for searches depends on the database used (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL),
but FreshRSS filter actions such as auto-mark-as-read and auto-favourite always use PHP PCRE2 syntax.
Allow dynamic search operator in user queries, like search:UserQueryA date:P1d
New feed mode HTML+XPath+JSON dot notation (JSON in HTML)
Better HTTP compliance with support for HTTP response headers Cache-Control: max-age and Expires
New unicity policies and heuristic for feeds with bad article IDs (reduce the problem of duplicated articles)
New option to automatically mark new articles as read if an identical title already exists in the same category
Add ability to remove content from articles with CSS selectors, also when not using full content
New condition option to selectively retrieve full content of articles
New UI feature to download a user’ SQLite database or a database SQLite export (to be produced by CLI)
