Under 4.3.20, my rss files contain similar lines _except_ the last:
<description></description>
I'm trying to figure out why. Had I customized my rss feed somehow on 4.3.17 and the customization was lost?
I think this may be related to a change in loaddata.c where a xymondboard command used to request the field "line1" and now does not. I base this on the footprints that one of the "description" tags used to be: <description>yellow SSL Certificate Expiration:</description> and the first line reported by my ext script on that client was: "yellow SSL Certificate Expiration:"
I see a reference to this in http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7647/ "don't pull line1 in xymondboard, as it's not currently used" how was it determined that it wasn't used?
Sadly, it looks like I overlooked this.
I'd done a textual analysis within xymongen, but missed the read from 'shorttext' in the RSS generator. It is indeed used here (though not on the main pages).
I'll be pushing a 4.3.21 shortly which includes this as a reversion.
