I've patched my local copy of FoF to be able to subscribe to ISO-8859-*, BIG5 and GB2312... actually anything that 'mbstring' supports, which is quite a number of encodings. I'm going to let this change burn in for a while, maybe make it available as a patch, and probably roll it into the next release, as well as post a long angry weblog entry about the sad state of PHP XML charset handling.

The only supported character encodings in PHP 4's XML parser are ISO-8859-1, US-ASCII, and UTF-8. On PHP5, there are a few more. SHIFT_JIS is added, for example, but still no BIG5 or GB. PHP does have a family of functions called 'mbstring' that support those encodings, but unfortunately integrating it with the XML parser will be difficult. I may attempt to do this, anyway. No!

Steve, I have not tried the new version of FOF yet, but I would like to know if the new version of FOF can convert the feeds from big5, gb and shift-jis to utf-8? Nice job!

If you go and download Magpie 0.61, you can see that the file headers match: some say 0.51, or 0.6a... I guess Kellan forgot to update them last time he did a release.

(That's the version number that's in all the headers in the directory.) It clearly supports Atom, so it must be 0.6 or later, and I see that 0.61 now supports Atom beyond alpha support.
