All releases of localcast


Release Notes: Support for the LKML Podcast was added by improving handling of query parameters in podcast URLs.


Release Notes: The URLs in the example configuration embedded in the create-example script were updated.


Release Notes: A bug that could cause localized podcast URLs to have an extra slash was fixed. Support for using partially downloaded podcasts was begun.


Release Notes: Support for systems other than Mac OS X was added and documented, including use independent of iTunes. A quick-start script was added. Interrupting the update-all or update script now kills wget processes, for a clean exit.


Release Notes: Support for temporarily deactivating podcast updates was implemented. A work-around for enclosure URLs ending with query components was added.


Release Notes: A new "update-all" script performs parallel updates of all the podcast directories under ~/Sites. It is no longer necessary for the user to interact with iTunes at all, since update now uses Applescript to tell iTunes to fetch the local downloads via Web sharing. The configuration file syntax was simplified. Usage was simplified by switching to a single-installation design.


Release Notes: An autosubscribe feature was added such that iTunes is told to subscribe to localized podcasts via embedded Applescript. The documentation was updated and improved.


Release Notes: User accessibility was improved by making the podcasts file syntax more forgiving, lessening the amount of configuration information necessary, including more and better examples in the documentation, and by updating the local XML file only after podcast downloads are finished, so that iTunes does not retrieve partial podcasts.
