This entry is bit of self-cross promotion today for one of my projects, BoxSyndication 2.
BoxSyndication 2 is a popular custom tag for the ColdFusion Mark-up compatible range of web servers that enables you to generate web based, syndicated feeds. It allows developers create feeds that support the Atom 1; RSS 2 and Apple iTunes Podcasting namespace standards using query or structure datasets. In addition Box Syndication 2 also supports the Creative Commons License, OpenSearch and the Dublin Core Metadata namespaces for both feed types.
With the new 1.1 version of this software that was released last week, BoxSyndication 2 introduces a new set of features that are not available elsewhere for ColdFusion and compatible servers
· Full Unicode UTF-8 support
· High ASCII character to XML safe hexadecimal character conversion
· Really Simple Syndication 2.0.10 namespace support
· OpenSearch 1.1 namespace support
· Dynamic Atom element value encoding
In addition we now include a generous sample of 15 different feed examples which have all been created from scratch for this new release including an OpenSearch implementation. Plus there are extra tips and examples on automatic discovery for your feeds and as well as a guide on saving bandwidth by using HTTP conditional gets. If this all seems too much, the examples folder now has its own index cover page to allow for easy access and navigation to each item.
As always this new release is a free upgrade for all owners of both BoxSyndication and BoxSyndication 2. Otherwise it is a $35US purchase for an unlimited upgrade, single developer license. BoxSyndication 2 is compatible with Adobe ColdFusion 6.1,7,8; New Atlanta BlueDragon 6.2,7 and Railo Technologies Railo 2.
