ROME is a Java framework for RSS and Atom feeds. The framework consist of several modules:
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| rome-parent | is the parent project for all ROME modules and contains the common Maven configuration. |
| rome-utils | provides utility classes that are used in several ROME modules. |
| rome | is the main RSS and Atom library. It makes it easy to work with most syndication formats: RSS 0.90, RSS 0.91 Netscape, RSS 0.91 Userland, RSS 0.92, RSS 0.93, RSS 0.94, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom 0.3, Atom 1.0. |
| rome-modules | enables rome to handle several feed extensions like MediaRSS, GeoRSS and others. |
| rome-opml | contains OPML parsers and tools. |
| rome-fetcher | is a caching feed fetcher that supports retrieval of feeds via HTTP conditional GET. Supports ETags, GZip compression, and RFC3229 Delta encoding. |
| rome-certiorem | is a PubSubHubub implementation based on rome. |
| rome-certiorem-webapp | is an example webapp for rome-certiorem |
| rome-propono | supports publishing protocols, specifically the Atom Publishing Protocol and the legacy MetaWeblog API. Propono includes an Atom client library, an Atom server framework and a Blog client that supports both Atom protocol and the MetaWeblog API. |
- Upgrade of JDOM to version 2.0.5
- Maven plugin and dependency updates
- Support for allowing Doctype declarations in rome-fetcher
- OSGi improvements
- solved an XML bomb vulnerability
Important note: due to the security fix ROME now forbids all Doctype declarations by default. This will break compatibility with RSS 0.91 Netscape because it requires a Doctype declaration. When you experience problems you have to activate the property allowDoctypes on the SyndFeedInput object. You should only use this possibility when the feeds that you process are absolutely trustful.
- many (untracked) enhancements
- code cleanup
- renamed packages (was required to be able to push to Maven Central after years again)
- updated sourcecode to Java 1.6
