Hi,
Not strictly speaking an API issue, but the RSS feed is used by 3rd-party tools...
The RSS feed has a "pubDate" property for each article, which should be set to the date of the article. It's always set to the date of the last change though, so there's no way for external tools to get the correct GalNet news dates.
The RSS spec also has a "pubDate" at the root of the XML, which is supposed to contain the last-updated date of the entire feed, which is what this seems to be. Could somebody please change the feed so that the article-specific pubDate values are correct?
Cheers,
Jim
