A new version update, RSSBus Beta 4c, is now available - just in time for next week's O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference.  This update includes core engine performance enhancements, updates to the shipping RSSBus connectors, new sample scripts, and a new profile provider model for storing individual user information.     

The new Profile provider enables developers to customize the storage of RSSBus profile information.  This allows developers to build custom providers that define how and where user information is stored.  This enhancement enables the RSSBus Feed Server to work seamlessly in a hosted environment where individual users maintain their own profile information.  This release includes a pre-built Windows Registry Provider Manager, as well as a new ASP.NET Profile Manger that interfaces with ASP.NET Membership Services

In addition, RSBScript now includes the new <rsb:pipe> construct that  simplifies the syntax for pipelining feeds together between operations.  Instead of nesting operation calls within each other the rsb:pipe syntax provides easy to use Unix-style linear execution.

<rsb:pipe>
  <rsb:call op='ListUnpaidInvoicesInQuickBooks.rsb' />
  <rsb:call op='EmailCustomerNoticeOfCollections.rsb' />
  <rsb:call op='EmailAccountsReceivableCollectionsReport.rsb' />
</rsb:pipe>
