sfeed 2.0 was released.

sfeed is a tool to convert RSS or Atom feeds from XML to a TAB-separated file.

It can be found at:
  * git://git.codemadness.org/sfeed
  * gopher://codemadness.org/1/git/sfeed
  * https://codemadness.org/releases/sfeed/
  * gopher://codemadness.org/1/releases/sfeed/

sfeed has the following changes compared to 1.9:


Features:
* sfeed_update: use xargs -P for improved job handling when updating feeds in
  parallel.
* sfeed_update: update default maxjobs from 8 to 16.


Fixes:
* sfeed_json: fix name of "url" field for attachments.
* sfeed_opml_export and sfeed_update: allow only regular files.
* sfeed_update: improve compatibility with zsh as a non-interactive shell,
  because some variables likes like $path and $status are reserved.
* sfeed_update:
  when the feeds() function is not defined then exit with status code 1 (this
  was incorrectly status code 0).
* sfeed_update: improvements in the cleanup of temporary files for edge-cases.


Code improvements:
* sfeed_curses/sfeed_gopher: mark functions as static.
* sfeed_gopher: fix a clang-analyzer warning (no difference in behaviour).
* sfeed_update: in the order() function suppress output to stderr, like merge()
  already does.
* Some small documentation improvements.


There was some work in adding tests for sfeed_update. This makes testing for
regressions on many platforms faster to spot.


Thanks for all feedback and patches,
