🆕 What's New in v1.0

All examples have been updated for the new framework-agnostic architecture:

• ✅ Factory Method: Use FeedFactory::create() instead of service providers
• ✅ Modern PHP: PHP 8.3+ with strict typing and modern syntax
• ✅ Framework Agnostic: Works with any framework or plain PHP
• ✅ Array-based Items: Use addItem([...]) instead of individual parameters
• ✅ Fluent Interface: Chain methods for cleaner code
• ✅ Better Type Safety: Full type declarations and PHPStan compliance

🔄 Migrating from v0.x

If you're upgrading from older versions, the main changes are:

// Old way (v0.x)
$feed = App::make("feed");
$feed->title = 'My Feed';
$feed->add($title, $author, $url, $date, $description, $content);

// New way (v1.x) 
$feed = FeedFactory::create();
$feed->setTitle('My Feed');
$feed->addItem([
    'title' => $title,
    'author' => $author, 
    'link' => $url,
    'pubdate' => $date,
    'description' => $description
]);
