woooo time for a kiki update. this one is a bugfix release that corrects two super annoying problems with RSS feed generation.

while we all love RSS, it has to be one of the most finicky protocols to actually write code for 😅. every client seems to have its own quirks. so here's my attempt at keeping the protocol alive and happy:

- RSS feeds now show the correct pubdate time because it now takes timezone into consideration, and then converts your timezone to GMT.

- under very weird and unknown conditions, incorrect rss URLs were being generated. While I couldn't reproduce the exact cause (I suspect it was due to robots scraping kiki instances and the PHP server not generating browser variables for them), I was able to eliminate the bug with a small change to how URLs are generated.

thank you to kiki oper @kickingk for catching both of these bugs.

and if you're new to kiki, this is your invitation to join the kiki club!

there is a free shareware version here for those who want to get their toes wet with building their own little blog, and a paid registered version for folks who want to dive straight in :D
