Old feed items delivered by item emitter?

[pro-sumer]

When using this feed (to track software updates):

http://tweakers.net/feeds/meuktracker.xml

node-feedsub's item emitter seems to emit all published items, instead of only new ones.

What am I doing wrong?

const FeedSub = require('feedsub')
const reader = new FeedSub('http://tweakers.net/feeds/meuktracker.xml', { interval: 1 })
reader.on('item', item => {
    console.log(item.title)
})
reader.start()

(The feed does seem to have a correct pubDate field and the individual items as well)

@pro-sumer I ran into this yesterday and I increased maxHistory to 50 and the problem went away. If we're experiencing the same problem I think it has to do with feeds that have larger # of items than the maxHistory supports, so the latest items aren't found in the history so they get emitted on every run.

Not positive though.

@atwellpub Thanks! I will experiment with a higher maxHistory value (and will post the result here).

Seemed to help for a couple of hours, but then I ran into #53.

so this was happening because, usually rss feeds are ordered by placing newer items at the start, and older items at the end. the above feed was sorting items from old to new (not anymore).

fix has been deployed to support both types of feeds. try out the new release.
