CommaFeed

CommaFeed is now powered by Quarkus instead of Dropwizard. Read the rationale behind this change in the announcement. The gist of it is that CommaFeed can now be compiled to a native binary, resulting in blazing fast startup times (around 0.3s) and very low memory footprint (< 50M).

• CommaFeed now has a different package for each supported database.
  • If you are deploying CommaFeed with a precompiled package, please read this section of the README.
  • If you are building CommaFeed from sources, please read this section of the README.
  • If you are using the Docker image, please read the instructions on the Docker Hub page.
• Due to the switch to Quarkus, the way CommaFeed is configured is very different (the config.yml file is gone). Please read this section of the README. Note that a lot of configuration elements have been removed or renamed and are now nested/grouped by feature.
• Added a setting to prevent parsing large feeds to avoid out of memory errors. The default is 5MB.
• Use a different icon for filtering unread entries and marking an entry as read (#1506)
• Added various HTML attributes to ease custom JS/CSS customization (#1507)
• The Redis cache has been removed. There have been multiple enhancements to the feed refresh engine and it is no longer needed, even for instances with a large number of feeds.
• The H2 migration tool that automatically upgrades H2 databases from format 2 to 3 has been removed. If you’re using the H2 embedded database, please upgrade to at least version 4.3.0 before upgrading to CommaFeed 5.0.0.
