New Antenna 2.0.0

The beauty of semantic versioning is that breaking changes force you to increase the major number of the version, even if the changes feel not substantial. But breaking changes are always substantial.

Here are the commented changes:

Breaking Changes

- Added config sections REQUEST and UI and move some settings to those sections for easier understanding. This should help less technical people understand what the options are for.

- Only use Atom feed titles and don’t use author fallbacks to have the same behavior as with Gemsub. This matches the examples in the Gemsub documentation.

New Features

- Report missing feed titles. Just happened with a Gemsub feed where the heading 1 was missing, because a figlet font is being used instead.

- Add Makefile for certificate generation, service installation, and deployment. I didn’t include it in 1.0.0, because while this automates tasks, it might pose a problem if configured or used incorrectly.

Bugfixes

- Only import historic stats if they are available. This code was always meant to go away and be replaced with a static page when OG Antenna shuts down. That’s why the historic stats file is not included in the repo, especially because it’s 1.1 MiB in size. Contact me, if you need it.

- Keep parsing feeds on sync with feed error. See the figlet title above.
