Where is the Atom 1.0 feed?

I’m a bit disappointed none of the devs have taken the effort to answer my question. So I’ve taken this one step further and taken the liberty to push this issue forward in Trac.

And, once again, Matt has postponed this to 2.1 and downgraded to low priority, without a word of explanation.

Thanks so much…

Well, if it comes down to it, it wouldn’t be hard to make it into a plugin.

Except that, as I learned today, the 0.3 format is actually invalid as of now. So WP 2.0 will ship with an invalid Atom feed… And how many people will be bothered to get the patch/plugin/whatever? Why can’t WordPress just do this right?

Yes, I agree, it should be included in 2.0. I mean, hasn’t someone already provided a patch and no work is really required to get Atom 1.0 working?

According to https://weblog.philringnalda.com/2005/12/13/your-forthcoming-feed-errors the provided patches are not completely correct. So we need a bit more work on that.

Matt has finally given his reasons for excluding Atom 1.0 support from WP 2.0. The main one was that there is no patch available that really works to satisfaction. I’m currently working on one that should do everything necessary for inclusion into the next release.

Let’s hope we can get it fully working with valid code and get in before the next release. I really agree that WordPress should contain the latest and greatest, especially with the large auidence it serves.

Nope… still a security release, this 2.0.2 version…
