ExpressionEngine Users: RSS Patch required

Special Announcement:

So, as I was trying to set up FeedBurner for this site, I discovered there was an error with the RSS feed. Ugh. I'm using the most recent version of EE, so, I thought maybe I made an error in a template file. No, no. It wasn't me! If you are using EE 1.6.1 downloaded the EE 1.6.1 version right away (sometime before November 14th, 2007), you need do re-download the package from the site. Replace the following file in your install with the one from this new download:

system > core > core.output.php file

So, after replacing that file, the feed is valid....except for one thing...

You'll still get this error:

line 33, column 4: Missing atom:link with rel="self"

Just ignore this. Your feed is valid...this is not an error, it's a recommendation by the authors of the validator. Apparently they are wanting you to use the Atom namespace to get at some features that you can't get with RSS 2.0. Politics.

Further explanation of this, and discussion can be found in this forum thread on the EE boards.
