Simplefeed, a simple aggregation module for drupal, version 2.2 has been released. This update was a bug fix to the 2.1 release which brought with it a number of updates and bug fixes including:
- Support for longer URLs.
- An update fix when migrating from Simplefeed 1.
- A more robust technique for identifying duplicates.
- A bug fix for cron removing expired feed items.
Performance
Simplefeed 2.2 is significantly faster than simplefeed 1. According to Ted Serbinski, the modules creator, Simplefeed 2 has preformed 380% faster at processing feeds than simplefeed 1. This was preformed with a sampling of blogs from the MomBlogNetwork.
Performance depends on many factors (e.g., hardware, operating system, etc.) so the important element to notice is the percent improvement over the previous version.
I'm a Maintainer
Along with these releases I was added as a contributor to the module. My hope is to move towards a drupal 6 release.
