v1.25.0 Changes
December 23, 2024π In this release, the coding focus has been on moving to PHP 8.1+ and refactoring the integration of the SimplePie library (which was long due). At the same time, plenty of new features have been added. Enjoy! π

- β οΈ Advanced regex syntax for searches depends on the database used (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL),
but FreshRSS filter actions such as auto-mark-as-read and auto-favourite always use PHP PCRE2 syntax.
- β οΈ Advanced regex syntax for searches depends on the database used (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL),
π Allow dynamic search operator in user queries, like
search:UserQueryA date:P1dNew feed mode HTML+XPath+JSON dot notation (JSON in HTML)
π Better HTTP compliance with support for HTTP response headers
Cache-Control: max-ageandExpiresπ New unicity policies and heuristic for feeds with bad article IDs (reduce the problem of duplicated articles)
π New option to automatically mark new articles as read if an identical title already exists in the same category
β Add ability to remove content from articles with CSS selectors, also when not using full content
π New condition option to selectively retrieve full content of articles
