One side effect I noticed with this release is that I got quite a few old items.

And I think that it is easy to explain why, our old code with the old feed-io would filter out all items that were older than the timestamp it got or generated on its own.

Meaning the amount of items coming from the feed to news was low. Let's say 2-3 items max per fetch. That would mean that for the purging the standard limit of 200 is used.

But now with the new library we get all items of the feed file if the file has changed, otherwise we should just get a "file has not changed"

I think this will only be a "problem" one time after the update.

After that the purging will adjust.

It also means that for feeds that rarely update but have the whole history of items we will see more items stored in the dB.
But I think there is no way around that we could implement our own filtering to have the same behaviour like before but then we would have the same issue that some feeds like the feeds of Reddit are working differently.

I think what we have now is more what people expect, what you find in the feed is also in the dB, items that are not in the feed anymore are deleted (if marked as read and so on)

All the big news websites that I know don't include a full history in the feed they only include a few days of content max.
