Please keep the RSS feed alive. Makes things easier when humans are involved in the process. I understand how great the Web service is for automation, but there is no way we are going to relinquish human control over this, and the RSS feed is key in allowing at a glance what is going to happen.

    Hi Xavier, we're planning a couple of simple scripts that format the /changes web method output for human review. How and with what tools do you use today to do that with the RSS?

      We use a set of Python scripts, to compare data between sources (XML page, web page, our own .pac files), and also rely on the RSS feed for a quick overview of what was changed. The thing, is the RSS gets delivered directly to my Outlook inbox, and as such acts as a reminder to everyone.

      I had a look at the scripts provided, especially the Python one, and while it is rather clear, I still have not figured out why we do not get the ports in the output... Need to spend more time on this.

        Hi Xavier, thank you for the feedback. We're looking at how we can continue to provide RSS.
