Changelog / new features in README about feed-on-feeds HOT 6 CLOSED

From a pure user's point of view the features haven't change much. This FoF-version has been changed under the hood. Updated CSS, compatible to newer PHP versions, ported to PDO rather than pure MySQL calls and the like.

Of course given the initial quality of the code there's a lot of refactoring... I've did the same in my version (although instead of PDO I focused on using mysql-specific features for performance; I don't think PDO really matters).

But I think there should be some features to note... For example as I've understood it from the commit log the feed update intervals are dynamic in this version...

from feed-on-feeds.

Yes, they are dynamic. But as far as I understood that's a feature of the SimplePie library that the old version used already. SimplePie has extensive caching mechanisms and opens the actual feed only after a certain age - depending on the update history.

Hm... I've got a sensation that it's not just simplepie... anyway it's interesting to see the changelog.

from feed-on-feeds.

The dynamic update mechanism is not part of SimplePie, it's something I designed and implemented. It's not perfect but it's certainly a lot better than polling every feed once an hour.

FoF doesn't use SimplePie's caching/update mechanism, it just uses SimplePie as a parser.

I guess the "features" segment of the README file covers this. Most other changes were indeed under the hood.
