Informa change log:

Version 0.2.6 (April 6, 2003)

 - improved date parsing again, by giving the timezone more respect
   (fixing also bug 714831)
 - When parsing a RSS 1.0 channel the item description element tries
   to use the default namespace, if not available it falls back to the
   'dc' namespace (this fixes bug 714835)
 - Better handling of unset news item links in the RSS_1_0_Exporter
   (bug report 715523)
 - added test case for importing a channel defintion according to the
   RSS/RDF 1.0 syntax
 - integrated the more lazy channel parsing approach from Pito which
   does not parse right in the same moment as the channel is being
   added to the channel registry
 - fixed mapping.xml (only relevant to the JDO implementation)
   * changed element xml to bind-xml (now validates again)
   * added link mapping information to item (fixes bug 707159)
 - (finally) added log4j.properties (automatically loaded by the
   classloader, if available in the classpath)
 - improved ChannelFormat (was mis-use of an interface before) so
   instead of an integer there is now an own type for the channel
   format
 - changed interface ChannelParserIF to be more flexible (was only
   allowing a URL to be passed), now up to the constructor, for
   example:
   OLD:
     ChannelParserIF parser = new RSS_0_91_Parser(new ChannelBuilder());
     channel = parser.parse(inpFile.toURL());
   NEW: (instead of a new ChannelBuilder instance, this should be shared)
     ChannelParserIF parser = new RSS_0_91_Parser(inpFile);
     parser.setBuilder(new ChannelBuilder());
     channel = parser.parse();


Version 0.2.4 (January 20, 2003)

 - Refactored utility methods out of RSS Parsers into
   utils.ParserUtils, also improved parsing of dates
 - ItemComparator allows now to distinguish between found and
   retrieved date to be used by sorter
 - Core interface adjustments:
   ~ refactored attribute subscription from Channel[IF] to a
     collection of channel subscriptions in UserIF
   ~ refactored attribute metadata from Item[IF] to a collection of
     item metadata objects in UserIF
   ~ added attribute channel to ChannelSubscription[IF] (navigability)
   ~ added attribute item to ItemMetadata[IF] (navigability)
   ~ removed attribute channelGroup from Channel[IF] to allow separate
     channel grouping per user
   ~ applied composite pattern to ChannelGroup[IF] so that channel
     groups are allowed to be nested
   ~ added attributes pubDate and lastBuildDate to Channel[IF]
   ~ added attribute title to ChannelGroup[IF]
