I am pleased to announce version 0.2 of my WordPress Actionstream plugin!

It can be downloaded from the normal place.

New this release:

1. Better microformats support in the output
2. Some architecture improvements and bug fixes
3. There is now a sanity check for zero items or less items than requested
4. Posts on the host blog are now added to the actionstream
5. There is a well defined way to add stream items (say, from another plugin). Just create an array with the fields you need (be sure to specify identifier and created_on – GUID and unix time of publish, respectively) – usually includes title and url. Then instantiate an object of class ActionStreamItem and save in like so: (new ActionStreamItem($array_data, 'service', 'data_type', $user_id))->save();
6. There is now a hook for other plugins to add available services. Example:

   actionstream_service_register('feed',
   
         array(
   
            'name' => 'Feed',
   
            'url' => '%s'
   
         ),
   
         array(
   
            'entries' => array(
   
                  'html_form' => '[_1] posted <a href="[_2]" rel="bookmark" class="entry-title">[_3]</a>',
   
                  'html_fields' => array('url', 'title'),
   
                  'url' => '{{ident}}',
   
               )
   
         ));
