# RSS feed broken!

 * I found a really BIG issue with the new version: Since its activation my RSS 
   feed is broken, it results in a white page and is regognized as “not valid” by
   W3C checker.
    I’ve tried out a lot of configurations, removed all plugins etc.,
   even activated the old EBD plugin (which doesnt work anymore). In the end it 
   came out that it’s definitely caused by EBD. Hope you can fix this soon. Thanks!

 * UPDATE: While playing around with different config options I found a workaround
   with changing the RSS settings. Works for me.
    But it still remains strange, 
   that activating/deactivating EBD had an influence on RSS validity. (Much more
   strange is the fact, that the RSS source code in both states seemed to be absolutely
   identical. For whatever reason…)

   The plugin fails with this error when generating some feed items:
