Demeter release 0.1.0!

By John Mercouris

We are happy to announce a new version of Demeter, our mythical feed reader! With this update we are bumping the version number to 0.1.0, We are no longer at 0.0.0 :-). This update is available for all existing users (simply re-download Demeter to fetch a new version). To learn more about Demeter, please see here.

Included in this new version of Demeter is support for OPML, a feature requested on our forum here. With OPML you can easily import hundreds of feeds from any of your other feed readers!

Here is a sample OPML file exported from Elfeed:


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<opml version="1.0">
  <head>
    <title>Elfeed Export</title>
  </head>
  <body>

</opml>

After getting an OPML export, and then invoking the command import-feeds-from-opml, we end up with the following:

Additionally included in our new version of Demeter is a style slot for articles opened in standalone buffers (please see the class demeter-article). This should be welcome news for anyone running their own custom theme. You can now style every single part of the Demeter interface exactly to your taste!

We hope you enjoy this new version!
