More Acess Denied details

I would like to give you some more details and hopefully speed up the 'next stable release' process.

After the release of 0.7.24 rc1 I'm overloaded with false positives due to a missed point of the upgrade instructions (see previous news). This slows down the process of discovering of not covered yet (if any) issues related with the latest e-token security protection.

The case is simple, we are able to stop those false positives with one line of code. However, this will solve our (core developer and support team) problems only. I'll give you some extra info which should help you identify us as 'good guys'

During e-token test, I found very bad issue - it was there forever. In few simple words, if you use default e107.htaccess (renamed to .htaccess) your site will do something like 10 to 20 extra sql queries (depending on your site configuration) plus of course additional php parsing processor job of your server per missing image/css/javascript file reference.
A simple calculation says: if your average site sql requests count is 20, you have 4 missing images, you end up with 100 sql queries per page (instead 20). You should understand now the issue is really bad.

Most of "Access denied" issues were side effect of the above. It's really easy for me to 'mask' the problem as solved, but I hope you understand now why I don't want to do this.
We didn't invented upgrade instructions to 'keep you' busy, so please follow them, give us maximum information so that we'll be able to reproduce your problems, fix them and go forth. A whole 0.8 branch is waiting for us for the final work.

I wish to use the moment and add big THANKS to all community members who helped us fighting the latest issues.

1 year.

zFeeder celebrates one year since it's first version.

For all the german speaking people: there is a 3 pages article in INTERNET PROFESSIONELL Magazine, 08/2004, from VNU Business Publications, Deutschland. There is a bigger article dedicated to RSS and zFeeder has an article where it's installing, administering and usage is extensively covered and there is even a short passage about it's wap capabilities. The script is also included on the magazine's listings CD and as far as I know, it's the first magazine to include it on a CD.

Development it's currently on standby, frozen on version 1.6 and will continue as soon as my free time will permit it.

zFeeder 1.5 defines a new field for the template files - a header field which is only included once (at the begining) of zFeeder output and fixes some minor bugs:
- infojunkie javascript (contributed by Thomas Churm);
- a problem with the ampersands in the URLs (Steve from www.dreamlab.ca);
