XML-RSS-1.30

Changes for version 1.30

Same as 1.29_02 (from February 23, 2007)
Removed some methods that were not used.
Added more tests to increase the test coverage.
Fixed a bug where prefixes could be specified with invalid characters because there was a range (.-_) instead of three individual characters (.\-_).
Many files were left in the distribution or Subversion repository that were executable but need not be. Made them non-executable.
Clean up examples/ directory and move generated files out of t/
isPermaLink / guid fixes (RT#23983, Shlomi)
increased the test coverage of XML::RSS up to 100%. (Shlomif)
SECURITY BUG FIX: eliminated a markup injection vulnerability in the taxo:topics output of RSS 1.0. (Shlomif)
Moved the append function, which is unused and cannot be effectively used, out of the main module and into the rejects directory inside the repository (but outside the module). (Shlomif)
Added POD for full POD coverage. (Shlomif)
Several other bug fixes. (Shlomif)
Heavy refactoring of the code. (Shlomif)
perltidy configuration file; run perltidy on XML::RSS (and intentionally not on the tests) (ABH).

Fixed a bug in one of the tests. (Shlomif)

Removed the languages hash which was completely unused. (Shlomif)
