FreshRSS 1.25.0

By: Alkarex
23 December 2024 at 18:19

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! πŸŽ„

Breaking changes πŸ’₯:

  • Require PHP 8.1+ (and improved support of PHP 8.4+)
  • Require PostgreSQL 10+ or MariaDB 10.0.5+ or MySQL 8+

A few highlights ✨:

  • Add support for regex search (regular expressions)
    • ⚠️ 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.
  • Allow dynamic search operator in user queries, like search:UserQueryA date:P1d
  • New feed mode HTML+XPath+JSON dot notation (JSON in HTML)
  • Better HTTP compliance with support for HTTP response headers Cache-Control: max-age and Expires
  • New unicity policies and heuristic for feeds with bad article IDs (reduce the problem of duplicated articles)
  • New option to automatically mark new articles as read if an identical title already exists in the same category
  • Add ability to remove content from articles with CSS selectors, also when not using full content
  • New condition option to selectively retrieve full content of articles
  • New UI feature to download a user’ SQLite database or a database SQLite export (to be produced by CLI)
  • Supported by Capy Reader (Android, open source)
  • Many bug fixes, UI improvements, and a lot more
