omafeed 0.2.8

TL;DR: omafeed 0.2.8 is a small fix release. Reddit feeds load again, and omafeed keeps to the request limits Reddit and other sites announce, so your Reddit feeds take turns rather than failing. A feed you add is now selected and shown straight away. Your library and settings carry over unchanged.

Download: On Omarchy: omarchy pkg add omafeed · Arch Linux (recipe, makepkg -si) · Debian / Ubuntu (x86_64, ARM) · Fedora (x86_64, ARM) · Linux archive (x86_64, ARM)

Fixed

• Reddit feeds load (#41, #42). Before, subscribing to or refreshing one failed with "403 Blocked" or "429 Too Many Requests". Reddit blocks HTTP/1.1 requests from omafeed's TLS library, whatever the user agent, so omafeed now speaks HTTP/2 to sites that offer it. Reddit also answers only one feed a minute: omafeed now waits as long as a site's Retry-After or X-RateLimit headers ask before requesting it again, takes turns between your Reddit feeds, and leaves the others for a later refresh without marking them as failing. Adding a feed from a site that is holding back says how many seconds to wait before trying again.

Improved

• A feed you add is shown straight away (#43). Before, the view stayed where it was. Now the folders above the new feed open, it is selected in the sidebar, and the article list fills with its articles as they arrive. The sidebar's selected row also keeps keyboard focus when the sidebar reloads, for example after a refresh.

Thanks

Thanks to @sette7blo for reporting the Reddit failures (#41).
