Hi guys!
Thanks for your awesome work on Readability.php!
I truly appreciate all the details you shared on your blog post.
When do you plan to release a new stable version of this library?
Thanks for the post, glad to see thereās some interest! 
Our plan was to test with a beta versions of Full-Text RSS, but progress has been a little slow. Hopefully weāll have a beta version being tested internally sometime next week and if there are no major issues detected thereāll then be a release of Readability.php.
I should point out that we have made a bunch of changes after that post was made, so if youāre prepared to test, feel free to the use the master branch on Github.

Oh yes, there is an interest! 
I am testing out the composer release and find it to be quite amazing.
About those updates youāve mentioned: is this reflected in the ādev-masterā ābranchā via packagist?
fivefilters/readability.php - Packagist
Are there any plans to include handling sites with these āacceppt cookies and ads OR subscribeā redirects that can be found on some sites?
Cheers
Glad to hear!

Yes, dev-master should use the latest code.

The code is based on the Mozilla Readability package at GitHub - mozilla/readability: A standalone version of the readability lib so if they implement something like that, it will likely be included at some point. But I think the Mozilla code is primarily for the Firefox Reader mode, which probably assumes that those obstacles have already been clicked away by the user. So I donāt know if thatās something they want to tackle directly.
Our Full-Text RSS product combines an older version of the Readability library (soon to be updated to this new one) as well a site-specific extraction rules. With the site-specific rules itās often possible to bypass cookie walls and other obstacles by sending custom HTTP headers or using a rule to follow a link after the page is fetched.

Quick update to say weāve now created two releases 3.0.0 (which is what dev-master was before) and 3.1.0 where weāve bumped the minimum version of PHP to 7.4 and fixed issues related to PHP 8.1. Let us know if you experience any trouble with these.

Hi Fabio, the next version of Full-Text RSS will offer Readability.php as an option. Eventually it will become the default. We hope to have a release ready before the new year, but it might also be early in the new year.
This is fantastic news! Iāll update as soon as iāve migrated to the latest release
Keep up the good work!
@DReffects Unfortunately itās still not released. We do have a version weāve been testing with Readability.php, the integration works, but thereās some other changes that have held up the release. Weāre hoping to be able to put it out soon.
