package river

0.6 - 2026-09-02

• Add an opt-in ?repair flag to River.fetch (and a new River.of_string) that recovers feeds which are valid Atom/RSS apart from unclosed HTML void elements (e.g. <img>) in type="xhtml" content, by self-closing them before parsing. Off by default, so well-formed feeds are never modified. Also exposes River.sanitize_void_elements.
• Extend ?repair to also recover well-formed Atom feeds that Syndic rejects because an <entry> is missing the mandatory <updated> element: it is defaulted to the entry's <published>, else the feed-level <updated> (#20). Also exposes River.repair_missing_updated.
• Respect the feed's own entry identity (Atom <id>, RSS2 guid) when generating Atom entries, resolve relative entry links to absolute URLs, and deduplicate merged posts (#13)
• Use the feed's own <summary> (Atom) / <description> (RSS2) when available: add a summary accessor and make meta_description prefer it over scraping the origin HTML page (#12)
