“Live items” only; more encodings

Show Only Live Items.. Feed Digest archives the feeds it crawls. This means that even if a feed no longer contains a certain entry, if it once contained that entry, we still have it on record. This can come in handy if you're running a large digest with feeds which update very regularly. It's not so great, however, when you expect the digest to ONLY show items which are CURRENTLY in the feed.. for example, if you're showing some of your del.icio.us links, you delete one, and wonder why its still in your digest! The solution is now here.. edit your digest and tick "Show only live items", and Feed Digest will only show items that are currently in your source feeds. To get back the full archive, untick it again.

Encodings.. We now support outputting digests using the following encodings: UTF-8 (Generic / Unicode), ISO-8859-1 (European), GB2312 (Simplified Chinese) properly, ISO-8859-6 (Arabic), ISO-8859-8 (Hebrew), CP1251 (Cyrillic / Russian). More testing is required, so make sure you report any anomalies to me.
