I implemented experimentally RSS feeds into Elog. Before releasing this new
addition, I would like to collect some experience with it. This forum now
supports RSS feeds, for which you can subscribe with a RSS feed reader like
Mozilla Firefox. Please give it a try and send me any feedback.

This problem has been fixed in version 2.5.4-6

That has been fixed in meantime.

There is an elegant way to achieve this already now: Use an RSS reader (like
SharpReader for Windows or Straw from Linux) and subscribe to a logbook. Then don't
read the entries directly in the logbook, but read them in your RSS reader. Once you
read them, they become automatically marked read.

Has been fixed as well.

> - Use "and" and "or" operands in queries                                        

Elog supports now regular expressions. So for a "<str1> OR <str2>" one can write

<str1>|<str2>

and for a "<str1> AND <str2>" one can write

<str1>.*<str2>|<str2>.*<str1>

Looks a bit complicated, but maybe some day we will get some code which rewrites
"AND" and "OR" as regular expressions.

I didn't see the RSS button in Firefox, however the URL:

works fine in with Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs

I've installed the lastest elog (v2.5.5)--how do I turn it on for a particular
logbook?

Thanks,

You need Firefox 1.0 Preview or later.

It's on by default for all logbooks.
