A feed entry "comments" feature has been implemented. To enable,
look for the corresponding option in the Aggregator Settings page.
The feature requires Atom links to publish entry LINK elements
with rel="replies" and type="text/html". RSS 2.0 feeds are expected
to publish a COMMENTS element for each entry.
The popular entry selection algorithm has been changed.

Widget style sheets have been fixed so they work better in Blogger blogs.
In particular, widgets in blog posts should work.
An option to show Technorati "View blog reactions" links for every
aggregator entry was added. A current limitation of this feature is
that link counts will only be calculated up to entry # 18.
Feeds are set to inactive if they are continuously giving
connection errors for 3 days.
Some minor default style tweaks were made. Note: Aggregators that
were overriding the background-color property of the ag-heading-box
class should either override the background property instead, or remove
the overriden property to allow the new default.

Content and images in the Head HTML customization field
are no longer visible. Please use this field for
STYLE, LINK, SCRIPT and META tags only.
A new ticker widget and a membership button have been added.
The skyscraper widget now has a "get this widget" button
by default. To remove this button in deployed widgets you may
append "&wb=false" to the script URL. You may also regenerate the
widget HTML.
Missing/broken entry icons have been tweaked a little. An X is now placed
in icons that are broken.
A feed error caching bug has been fixed.

Added aggregator search box to all page headers.
Fixed a XML parsing issue having to do with the
xmlns attribute used by some blogs.
Fixed a rare HTML/CSS parsing error.
Notice to users: Please do not use the HEAD tag
of the aggregator page to add images or content.
The HEAD tag is intended to hold STYLE, META, LINK and
SCRIPT tags. We plan to make any content
in the HEAD tag invisible. You can use the
Alternate Heading field to add content below
the normal heading.

Implemented a Javascript widget that allows anyone
to embed a "mini" version of an aggregator in an
arbitrary web page. See the "Embed in my website" link.
Implemented option to include a ShareThis® button in
an aggregator page.
Now proxying blog icons, and providing replacements when
icons are missing or broken. Unretrievable icon URLs can
be identified by the fact that replacement icons have a
black border.
Fixed issue with some feeds that have XML character encoding
not declared in HTTP headers.
Added option to exclude the standard title & description box.
The HTML region above the aggregator entries is now customizable
as well.
Enhanced detection of invalid entry clicks.

contained in the home page and other pages belonging to an

Fixed bug: Visitor blog submissions with Unicode characters in
the blog title or description not encoded or displayed
properly.
Fixed bug: Not redirecting properly to entry URLs with sorrounding
blanks, if that is how they are provided in the feed.
