  1. Pull down the latest SimplePie code
  2. In the simplepie directory, run git shortlog -ns

Requirements

  • PHP 5.1.4 or newer
  • libxml2 (certain 2.7.x releases are too buggy for words, and will crash)
  • Either the iconv or mbstring extension
  • cURL or fsockopen()
  • PCRE support

If you're looking for PHP 4.x support, pull the "1.2" tag, as that's the last version to support PHP 4.x.

Roadmap

SimplePie 1.3 should be a thoughtful reduction of features. Remove some bloat, slim it down, and break it into smaller, more manageable chunks.

Removing PHP 4.x support will certainly help with the slimming. It will also help avoid certain issues that frequently crop up with PHP 4.x. The PHP5-only migration is underway, but there is still quite a bit of work before it's "clean."

What comes in the package?

  1. simplepie.inc - The SimplePie library. This is all that's required for your pages.
  2. README.markdown - This document.
  3. LICENSE.txt - A copy of the BSD license.
  4. compatibility_test/ - The SimplePie compatibility test that checks your server for required settings.
  5. demo/ - A basic feed reader demo that shows off some of SimplePie's more noticable features.
  6. idn/ - A third-party library that SimplePie can optionally use to understand Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).
  7. test/ - SimplePie's unit test suite.
