Version 1.3.0 released

This release includes a major new feature: search. This function generates a subscription list by querying a set of subscription lists/feeds. Here are some usage examples:

  • the command podcatcher -F search "music daily source code" 'http://www.ipodder.org/discuss/reader$4.opml' > result.opml queries the iPodder podcast directory, and (hopefully) generates a list of music podcasts and The Daily Source Code, among others,
  • the command podcatcher -F search -f 22 book http://www.podfeed.net/opml/directory.opml | podcatcher > latest.m3u queries Podfeed.net for book podcasts (22 at most), and downloads their latest shows.

The search function can safely be interrupted (through Control-C keystrokes on Linux): it still generates a valid subscription list.

This release also adds support for the XSPF playlist format.
