Description Yury 2017-12-01 21:48:50 UTC 
Please compare news page - http://gnucash.org/news.phtml  (a lot of entries) with atom page http://gnucash.org/atom.php - just nothing.
My owncloud news reader even can't fetch it - "invalid XML".
Thanks
Comment 1 John Ralls 2017-12-01 22:20:58 UTC 
The atom page looks OK to me in Chrome:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <title>GnuCash News</title>

The only issue with it is the <updated> tag, which Feedly doesn't seem to mind.
Comment 2 Yury 2017-12-01 22:39:37 UTC 
Yeah, now I see that in Chrome in looks like a valid xml.

But my owncloud News doesn't work with it anymore. And firefox can't read it. You can compare in FF:

https://www.gnome.org/news/   <- it shows articles

http://gnucash.org/atom.php  <- shows nothing
Comment 3 John Ralls 2017-12-01 22:47:52 UTC 
Works fine for me with the Firefox ESR in Debian 9, and my Feedly account had no trouble with the last article, the 2.7.2 release.

What has https://www.gnome.org/news/ got to do with anything?
Comment 4 Frank H. Ellenberger 2017-12-01 22:54:14 UTC 
Firefox 52.3.0 shows content for https://www.gnome.org/feed/, but not for https://gnucash.org/atom.php, which shows only the header:

GnuCash News (logo)

Comment 5 Yury 2017-12-01 22:55:08 UTC 
I have FF 57.0.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 and it can't parse this feed.

Just for comparison

I've found a W3C feed validator:
https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgnucash.org%2Fatom.php

It says that feed is not valid.
Comment 6 Frank H. Ellenberger 2017-12-01 23:04:43 UTC 
&mdash; is not recognized
Comment 7 John Ralls 2017-12-01 23:41:26 UTC 
Yeah, and a couple of other issues that I've addressed.

Yury, please try it now.
Comment 8 Yury 2017-12-01 23:43:02 UTC 
It works! Thanks a lot!
Comment 9 Frank H. Ellenberger 2017-12-01 23:54:28 UTC 
just one minor issue:

If you click an entry, it directs to http://www.gnucash.org/#n-171126-2.7.2.news
but all news moved to http://www.gnucash.org/news.phtml
Comment 10 Geert Janssens 2017-12-02 09:34:13 UTC 
Should be fixed now. Thanks for bringing this up.
