+== Refactored RSS framework ==
+
+As of XXXX, Django's RSS framework was refactored. This change should not affect most Django users, because the RSS framework was completely undocumented. The only users affected are people who reverse-engineered the framework, and WorldOnline.
+
+See the new [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/syndication/ syndication docs] For completeness, here's what changed:
+
+ * Created {{{django/contrib/syndication}}}.
+ * Removed {{{django/conf/urls/rss.py}}}. The syndication system doesn't require its own URLconf anymore.
+ * Moved {{{django/views/rss/rss.py}}} to {{{django/contrib/syndication/views.py}}} and refactored it so that {{{feed()}}} takes {{{url}}} and {{{feed_dict}}} instead of {{{slug}}} and {{{param}}}.
+ * Renamed {{{DefaultRssFeed}}} to {{{DefaultFeed}}} in {{{django/utils/feedgenerator.py}}}.
+ * RSS feeds are now specified as subclasses of {{{django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed}}} instead of {{{django.core.rss.FeedConfiguration}}}. Syntax is completely different.
+ * RSS feeds are now registered in URLconfs rather than in "magic" settings modules whose names end with "_rss".
