For me the formatting is fine, however every time you do an update it seems to think the whole rss feed is marked as new (so I get the last 20 or whatever posts).

I'm using google reader if that makes a difference.

Edit: looking at the feed it's fine so I guess it's a problem in reader. I'm not sure what it uses to know what's old and what's new.

I have the same problem with the google reader and its like spaming the whole thing   :(

I hadn't seen this thread yet, I just posted it in the bug forum  :-\

I'm getting all the messages repeated every day via the opera(9.6) rss reader.

edit:  Okay, I've got simple anchors working between the HTML and RSS.  I don't know anything about redirecting from dev_2008 to dev_now, so there's kind of a temporary life on these things.
These anchors would seem to be effective enough.
Now we need to figure out the cause for every entry being marked as new again when you update...

I'm guessing it's because the format of the feed is changing enough that it doesn't recognise the posts are the same as before. with any luck this will stop when toady updates normally again.

Your feeds seem not valid: This is the response of w3c validator for RSS http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bay12games.com%2Fdwarves%2Fdev_now.rss

Also i suggest to add this field <pubDate> for every <item> nodes, most RSS reader uses this field for sorting

I don't know enough about the py/XSL to do unique ids for entries that have the same date (like the 8/21 entry).  I should be able to give the release entries unique ids and do the atom:link part.  I have no idea how to convert the date into the pubDate format, as I'm not sure how to convert numbers into text through the XSL style sheet.
