A new version of Feedjack has been released: Feedjack 0.9.14.
Changes:
Lots of fixes/improvements in feedjack_update.py:
- better unicode handling on logging, this will prevent feeds not updating when using the –verbose flag
- Multithreaded feed fetching, needs the threadpool module, available in http://www.chrisarndt.de/projects/threadpool/. By default 10 threads will be used, can be modified with the -w option. If the threadpool module is not available, the old (SLOW) single threaded method will be used.
- Improved logging. Since multiple feeds can be processed in parallel now, all log entries go in a single line, with the feed id as a prefix.
- Stats in the logging, how many new posts, updated posts, unmodified posts and errors were found per feed and globally, and feed status (ok, unchanged, can’t parse feed, http error, some exception)
- Reporting slow feeds, if a feed takes longer than 10 seconds to process, it will appear in the logs with the tag “(SLOW FEED!)”
This is an update to the most neglected portion of feedjack: feedjack_update.py, the script that updates the sites from cron. It has remained almost untouched since I wrote it, and it was a bit problematic. This new update should solve most known problems with it (and will surely introduce new ones).
Share and Enjoy.

A new version of Feedjack has been released: Feedjack 0.9.12.
Changes:
- Feedjack is now django-unicode compliant
- Using max_length instead of maxlength in models.py to prevent warnings in syncdb
- Patched fjlib to use the new django refactored database backends
- Disabling autoscaping for post contents in the included templates
- Handling of feedparser returning an empty etag
- Fixing encoding related problems in tag urls
- Non-integer page parameters should be handled correctly
This is a make-feedjack-work-with-django-trunk release. Apologies if you had to hack through the code to use it, and thanks to everybody that published guides on how to make everything work, like this ticket from Paul Bissex, this full guide from Alex Kuo and this patch to make unicode tags work.
Share and enjoy.

We interrupt these wonderful 6 months without posting in this blog to share the joy, directly from Django’s BFDLs, my christmas present to myself:
The Django Book! I bought it in Amazon and it was only 3 days late to Peru, not bad for christmas season.
I can’t wait to read this book. I did read the chapter previews in the site and they were very good. I’ll write a review of the book as soon as I finish reading it.
(btw, I’m sick of wordpress, it’s a buggy piece of ^*($#, is there a decent django powered blog with an import-from-wordpress feature?).
Nobody else cares, but still:
