I've made some changes to some templates in weblog II. There's a new template called "Weblog Item Full RSS READONLY" which offers a rich set of features for the item element in an RSS feed: title, [new] creator name (NOT email address), [new] trackback ping url, link field, date published, unique id and permalink, comments url, category tags, and the full message body.

If you're using a custom RSS item template, then you could just use the new template as an example if you'd like to update it. (I'm especially interested in seeing everyone support the category tags and the dc:creater tag, they're both quite useful for a new plugin coming out soon.)

The Weblog Wrapper RSS READONLY template was changed. It now includes two "namespace" declarations in the RSS element, like this:

<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1"
xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/">

Again, if you're using a custom rss wrapper template, and you plan to use the "dc:creator" tag/element in your RSS feed, then you should update your wrapper template with the xmlns:dc attribute. (Just to make sure you're serving valid XML.)

Finally, you should be very excited about the new plugin coming out soon, even though I'm not going to tell you about it yet. ;-)
