New features for RSS 2.0 export implemented in eZ Publish 4.3.0alpha1

Two new attributes for RSS 2.0 export were added: an enclosure attribute and description attribute, which provide better image/media/file support to the RSS export.

The 'enclosure' attribute can be used to add media files per RSS feed item (for now only one media file per item is supported). This attribute is also used in podcast's to deliver audio files. RSS images will not be shown inline, but are linked to. The RSSfeed will look like this in firefox:

The 'description' attribute lets you select an eZ Publish image attribute as source, which allows the RSS export to generate the needed HTML in order to show the images inline in the RSS feed. This works for all types of feeds.
The RSS feed will look like this in Firefox:

In image.ini the optional image alias [rssitem] is added:

[rssitem]
Reference=reference
Filters[]=geometry/scaledownonly=128;128

If it is enabled in the description field, the 'rssitem' image alias will be used. If it is not enabled the default 'rss' image alias will be used (the width and height are by default 88x31 pixels). Please read the inline description in image.ini for more information regarding these settings .
