@github-actions github-actions released this 23 Aug 14:55

This release introduces a great new feature for displaying channel information and significantly improves how images are handled, making the card more powerful and easier to configure.

Highlights

  • Show Channel Information
    You can now display the feed's channel title, description, and image directly on the card!
    Just enable the new show_channel_info option.

    Perfect for when you're displaying multiple feeds and want to see at a glance where the news is coming from.
    Works seamlessly with my feedparser integration.

Breaking Changes

  • Simplified Image Handling
    • The strip_summary_images option has been removed in favor of a smarter, automatic approach.
    • The card now only uses the dedicated image property from a feed item to display a "hero" image.
    • If a hero image is shown, any images inside the summary are automatically hidden (no more duplicates!).
    • If a feed item has no image property, images inside the summary will be displayed as usual.

Other Improvements

  • Refactored internal logic for card size calculation → more reliable rendering.
  • Improved visual editor → keeps your YAML config cleaner by not saving default values.
