RSS Factory PRO - more power then ever!

The new version of rss Factory PRO 1.5.0 released on July 28, 2009 is more powerful then ever. Not only that it includes a general code base optimization for: improved speed at parsing feeds (simplepie is faster than magpie), improved speed at display (most of the display code is re-written), improved database speed (optimal indexed tables), international Domain Name support (ex. chinese UTF8 characters), full support for "enclosures", inclusive attached files using the "media" namespace (introduced by Yahoo in RSS 2.0 and meanwhile used also by Google), ordering on save feed source and using "divs" instead of "tables" but it includes also new features to provide more power then ever to the best RSS tool (lately not only a professional viewer, due to the recently added "import to content" functionalities) of the Joomla Community.
