Typo 2.5.6 is out

Posted by Scott Laird Fri, 23 Sep 2005 15:27:42 GMT

I just released Typo 2.5.6. This is a minor bug-fix release, but it’s an annoying bug. Flickr changed their RSS feeds slightly a couple weeks ago and this broke Typo’s Flickr sidebar. This release contains the 1-line fix required to make it work again.

    Delightful. What’d they change in their feed that broke stuff?

  2. Scott Laird said about 1 hour later:

    Our regex was weak; it used to look for http://photo.* to spot the image URL. Flickr changed to using http://static.flickr.com instead. Frankly, the whole way we do the flickr sidebar is flaky–why are we doing regexes on their RSS feed? We should be using their API, not RSS. For now, I made the smallest fix that would keep things working, and we can clean things up in the trunk.

    Hi Scott,

    Typo’s getting more mature every time. Good to see such an active codebase. Looking forward to 4.0.

    Cheers, Peet
