Description: If the rss-feed contains a title with a character illegal for file names, then that file cannot be saved/stored. Failes every time. --Skippern 00:43, 19 January 2006 (CEST)
- Fixed named bug for *NIX, and fixed some other bugs like ignoring its own decition to drop files with illegal chars. And some viewing the right size of files (came after fix for saving memory in extreme downloading cases). --Skippern 14:42, 19 January 2006 (CEST)
Corrections
PodCatch 0.2
New version! This time I have rewritten the entire application from scratch based on what I learned on the first version. I will do a “follow-up” test of the program soon, like tomorrow, and maybe find some bugs.
This time you have a complete new arsenal og command line options, self saving configuration and management of multiple pods with timestamps.
I’m planning to rebuild the config once again sometime to set up a complete set of “pod” management options, so that each pod can have a separate target, prefix, max-files etc. and to locate info abount a single pod proximately (like in a single dict or config group). But that for later. Enjoy and dont blame me! --Skippern 02:28, 2 February 2006 (CEST)

ChangeLog
PodCatch 0.2.3
This is mainly a bugfix version. I have fixed some file exist bugs, some ignored arguments, re-added removing pod-file’s pod option. Added coloring and color control (–no-color removes coloring on output). I have cleaned up code (once again), and hope this version can last a little longer…
Sorry for the non-working tags in last post. The tag I used was:
<guid>URL</guid>
but it should have been:
<enclosure url="URL"></enclosure>
… (I hope this worked)

PodCatch 0.2.2
I have (once again) cleaned up the command line options, output, and code. I have:
- Removed the “config-store” options.
- Added short options to save/remove.
- Cleaned up the config file (to a unix style config).
- Worked with the output, added coloring for better viewing of “important info”.
- Fixed a bug where I used the wrong tag for URL capture. Now it uses instead of …, which is optional in RSS, and was used for URLs in Urort by chance.
- I have cleaned up the file-str so you can build your own file names from a set of tags, including Title, publication date and time, hostname and original filename and mime/type. (I think that was all for now).
To work with:
- Unable to remove single options from pod. This still has to be done manually.
- More portability and file-str options?
- Program’s internal information flow (a bit messy, but seems to work).
- Maybe a more flowing outputs ???

PodCatch 0.2.1
This time I have rebuild the command line options and fixed some download bugs. Please come with comments regarding the command line options, help and debug info, and the new more effective downloads.
Now titles containing two ` character does not invoke the shell $() function (replaced with ‘ ). Each pod have their own config cache (containing max-files, target, url and prefix).
I have not been able to implement some options:
- resume seems to always completly re-download (wether existing or not or complete or not). Therefore the option has been temporary disabled.
Direrect downloads from URL or from an existing PodCast RSS file have not been implemented yet. This will come in a later version, so you have to build your pod profiles so far.
I have been thinking abou a GUI interface for this program, but come to the conclusion that it is quite unnessecary, and far too little info to make it worthwhile so far.
Note that the latest changes have made it incompatible with most non *NIX platforms, and requires GNU wget to work. (>=1.7)
