mod_pubsub_feeds: Don't skip publishing items after an existing one I encountered a feed which was backwards, such that older entries were considered first and then it would skip newer entries. This may however run into trouble if the feed contains more items than what's persisted in pubsub.

4d73a1a6ba68 Convert all wiki pages to Markdown Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> parents: 1782 diff changeset	13 handshake, it can log in without supplying a password (using SASL
4d73a1a6ba68 Convert all wiki pages to Markdown Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> parents: 1782 diff changeset	14 EXTERNAL). This makes it possible to have multiple devices accessing an
