v0.9
====

Features:
---------

* Feeds are now by default updated in parallel for an increase in performance.
* Auto-detect XML character set encoding (sfeed_xmlenc).
* Find RSS/Atom feeds from web-pages (sfeed_web).
* Added sfeed_frames, a formatting program to output feeds as a HTML file with
  frames. It's optimized to look good in older browsers that don't necesarily
  support CSS or modern HTML, like links. See the man page for more details.
* Removed the dependency on libexpat, using a custom XML parser (xml.*),
  this parser is also non-validating, it will not check the XML for errors
  or stop parsing if it contains errors (which is good).
* Changed to mandoc for documentation.

Bug fixes:
----------

* Parsing datetime strings containing timezone suffix to UNIX timestamps
  was wrong. UNIX timestamps are in GMT+0 time. For simplicity sake output
  parsed datetime strings in a formatted manner without converting the
  time to the user selected timezone (YYYY-mm-dd HH:mm:ss TZ([-+]offset?).
* Also when determining if an item is new (by comparing the UNIX
  timestamp) don't take into account timezones, because setenv(TZ,...) is
  just ugly and I don't use it.
* Lots of small fixes for compatibility with RSS / Atom feeds.
* Many more improvements, I'll keep a more detailed list in the feature.
