RSS Feed of NEWS needs a hand

Hi!

Thanks for this service! It is very helpful to know what is being developed.

I distribute the content to other venues and I noticed some times that the
updates are duplicated.
For example, the sentence "?is.R()? is deprecated as no other S dialect is
known to be in use (and this could only identify historical dialects, not
future ones)." is duplicated in different days:
Day 1:
https://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS/2024/03/07#n2024-03-07
Day 2:
https://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS/2024/03/09#n2024-03-09

I tried to look up how to avoid duplications with Blosxom
<http://blosxom.sourceforge.net/> but I didn't find a way.
It would be great if this could be further improved to avoid this
duplication.

Thanks!

Years ago Duncan set up a nightly job to feed RSS based off changes to
NEWS,
borrowing some setup parts from CRANberries as for example the RSS
'compiler'.

That job is currently showing the new \I{...} curly protection in an
unfavourable light. Copying from the RSS reader I had pointed at this since
the start [1], for today I see (indented by four spaces)

     CHANGES IN R-devel INSTALLATION on WINDOWS

     The makefiles and installer scripts for Windows have been tailored to
     \IRtools44, an update of the \IRtools43 toolchain. It is based on GCC
13
     and newer versions of \IMinGW-W64, \Ibinutils and libraries (targeting
     64-bit Intel CPUs). R-devel can no longer be built using \IRtools43
     without changes.

     \IRtools44 has experimental suport for 64-bit ARM (aarch64) CPUs via
LLVM
     17 toolchain using lld, clang/flang-new and libc++.

Can some kind soul put a filter over it to remove the \I ?

Thanks,  Dirk

Reader. It's been a while...
