v0.2.0 - Feed Cache & Incremental Loading

Major Features

• Incremental feed loading with configurable cache (30 days initial, 6hr refresh)
• Sliding window cache pruning maintains stable 1000-article cache size
• Channel-based article selection (breaking/recent/archive/deep_archive) for better content distribution
• Feed actualization support - trigger server updates before fetching
• TOML configuration - migrated from JSON+.env to unified config.toml

Fixes

• Fix feed URL parameter handling for incremental loading
• Fix duplicate query parameter bug causing server timeouts
• Remove Nix build system in favor of native Arch dependencies

Configuration Changes

Breaking Change: Configuration migrated from config.json + .env to config.toml

The AUR package will automatically migrate your old config on upgrade. New config options:

[feed]
cache_size = 1000           # Maximum articles to keep in cache
initial_load_days = 30      # Days of history on cold start
incremental_hours = 6       # Hours of new content per refresh
enable_incremental = true   # Enable smart incremental updates

# Optional: trigger feed server updates before fetch
actualize_base_url = ""
actualize_feed_ids = ""
