Build 2582: one step closer to release, a host of new capabilities.  We have tinkered a bit with the product names, to better reflect what they do.  The new names are RSSBus Feed Server for the old Server Edition, and RSSBus Desktop for the old Desktop Edition.    

The Admin Console has changed accordingly, to better reflect the product focus on Dynamic RSS Feed generation. In other changes we would highlight:

• Support for Microsoft Excel Web Queries: RSSBus Feeds can now be called directly from Excel (using the Web Query feature), and be automatically refreshed based on settings on the spreadsheet.
  Just click the "Excel" button in the RSBScript editor and you will see it in action.  We will post a screencast on this soon.
• We had introduced plugin support for scripting in languages other than RSBScript in the previous release.
  In Beta 4 we have added support for scripting with Python.  Please refer to the python.rsb script in the demos folder. It demonstrates the usage Python language plugin included in PythonOps.
  Support for other languages is in the pipeline, and of course, the interface is open, so you can always add your own.
• New connectors: too many to mention, and more will be added every day.  Check the new directory.

The new Online Directory is the most exciting bit of news for us.  You can now browse and search for connectors, scripts/feeds, and templates.  If you see something you like, download it and try it out!  You can create your own account and share your own work: connectors, feeds, and more!
