RSSMonster 2.2.0

RSSMonster 2.2.0 focuses on faster article browsing, more reliable crawling, safer multi-user behavior, and substantially improved documentation.

Highlights

  • Added database-backed cursor pagination for supported article views, reducing the amount of data loaded up front and making large collections faster and more stable to browse.
  • Added detection for articles that arrive while a paginated view is open, with a refresh path that keeps the current list snapshot consistent.
  • Improved article, smart-folder, tag, category, overview, and Interest Island query performance, including bounded counts and fewer repeated lookups.
  • Added a Retry crawl action to feed settings so an individual feed can be crawled again through the normal production pipeline.
  • Added crawl-run heartbeats, stale-run recovery, and richer completion statistics to make interrupted and long-running crawls easier to detect and recover.

Reliability and correctness

  • Fixed HTTP retry attempt counting.
  • Fixed category reordering.
  • Fixed concurrent article click-count updates.
  • Fixed RSS API limit handling.
  • Fixed a race during first-user administrator assignment.
  • Improved article-list loading, refresh, selection, read-state, and stale-response handling.
  • Reduced unnecessary article-feed watchers and improved client-side state synchronization.
  • Improved empty-reader, mobile navigation, pull-to-refresh, feed refresh, and settings error handling.

Security and hardening

  • Hardened the MCP endpoint configuration and client error handling.
  • Added safer handling for external article and assistant source links.
  • Improved frontend URL validation and browser-storage protection.
  • Added a minimum cookie-availability check to authentication startup.
  • Tightened ownership and authorization checks across article and feed operations.

Documentation and maintenance

  • Added a new GitHub Pages documentation site using Just the Docs.
  • Added or expanded guides for installation, configuration, administration, crawling, APIs, bookmarks, tags, keyboard shortcuts, scoring, search, server jobs, and article embeddings.
  • Added in-depth documentation for Events, Interest Islands, Topics, and the semantic processing architecture.
  • Updated dependencies and project metadata for version 2.2.0.

Upgrade notes

  • This release includes database migrations for atomic first-user administrator claiming and crawl-run heartbeat tracking. Run the normal database migration step when upgrading if your deployment does not do so automatically.
  • No intentional breaking API changes are included.
