EDIT: I forgot to update version number in this release, see #4382

What's Changed

No breaking changes. Mostly fixes to existing bridges, and some new bridges.

But, beware that all bridges are now enabled by default! (instead of the selected handful).

If you dont want all bridges enabled do like this in config.ini.php:

[system]

; Only these 3 bridges are enabled
enabled_bridges[] = CssSelectorBridge
enabled_bridges[] = FeedMerge
enabled_bridges[] = FeedReducerBridge

;enabled_bridges[] = *

Noteworthy changes

When debug mode is enabled, php errors are converted to exceptions! Only in debug mode, not in prod mode.

• fix: convert php errors to exceptions when in debug mode by @dvikan in #4176

The future

These needs to be discussed:

• Bump min php version from 7.4 to 8.0.
• Introduce a new document root with separate data folder (e.g. /var/www/rss-bridge/public and /var/www/rss-bridge/var/)
• rss-bridge is trivially vulnerable to XSS in the HtmlFormat page since we dont sanitize the html(mostly harmless since theres not much to exploit). Feed readers do sanitize html so no problem there.
• rss-bridge is trivially vulnerable to SSRF (mostly harmless? hard to exfiltrate data) Also we actually want to allow to fetch resources from non-public IP addresses, so maybe introduce a config for this allowance

Making this release because i forgot to modify version string in code.

Full Changelog: 2023-07-11...2023-07-13

No big changes. Just keeping the project alive.

The CacheInterface has been modified with stronger typehints. Might wanna check that out if are explicitly using a cache in a
custom bridge.

• new config enable_debug_mode and debug_mode_whitelist[] #3324
• config now can be modified with env #3428
• FeedMergeBridge now allows one or more feeds to fail while preserving the others #3476
• feat: add health check action in #3484
• feat: add system config enable_maintenance_mode #3497
• feat(sqlite cache): add config options by #3499

See https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/ if you want to test this release (it auto-deploys master each day).

We are considering (later) to moving the document root, see #3432

Also see #2735 for project goals and prios.

Full Changelog: 2023-03-22...2023-07-11
