Bugfix release 0.7.2.

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

FeedTree version 0.7.2 is available for download. It is strongly recommended that all users update to the latest version, as it includes a number of fixes which improve the stability of the network (and which work best when more of the network is running the fixed code).
In this release:

Improvements to bootstrap selection, reducing the […]

Bugfix release: 0.7.1.

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

Version 0.7.1 of the FeedTree proxy and publisher is out (download). This is a bugfix release containing improvements to the FreePastry layer (changes [179] and [180]) and the way FeedTree uses it [178].

For users with multiple network interfaces (and therefore multiple IP addresses on their local network), the command-line ftproxy client now supports the […]

WordPress plugin available.

Monday, January 30th, 2006

This is pretty exciting! WordPress users who want to push out their blog updates with FeedTree now have a two-step process:

Install the FeedTree publishing tool. (This is easier than ever now that there’s a helpful configuration script.)
Install the new FeedTree plugin for WordPress. Tell the plugin the URL to your certificate and […]

Get published.

Friday, January 27th, 2006

If you’ve been meaning to try pushing out feed updates but haven’t figured out the configuration, there’s a new configure-publisher console tool that will walk you through it. It asks you a few questions, calls keytool and openssl to do the crypto for you, and then emits a publisher.conf that’s ready to use […]

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

Version 0.6.2 of the FeedTree client software is now available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and any other Java 1.4/1.5 platform. Many minor fixes, including the elimination of a large memory leak (oops!) and an update to the latest version of FreePastry (which itself contains a number of performance-related improvements).
In addition to the new release, […]

Mailing list.

Friday, November 18th, 2005

The feedtree-users mailing list is finally up and running. If you’re a current user, or just curious about the project, please feel free to subscribe. I expect that the list will be fairly low-traffic, limited to releases and other important announcements, as well as the occasional “is it really supposed to work this […]

Version 0.6.1.

Friday, November 18th, 2005

Hot on the heels of 0.6 is version 0.6.1 (changeset 89), a small update that fixes some bugs in the new statistics-reporting framework and as cleans up the Windows and Mac executables a little bit. It’s important for current users to update to 0.6.1 so that I can continue collecting good data from the […]

Updated Jar distribution

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

The 0.6.0 version of the “publisher+jar” archive (including the ftproxy.jar for command-line operation, ftproxygui.jar for GUI operation on Unix platforms, and ftpublisher.jar for signed feed publication) contained slightly out-of-date builds (for one thing, they still reported version 0.5.1+ instead of 0.6.0).

I fixed the build process in changeset 82; you can now get the fixed zipfile […]
