Provide Public Feed on Protected News Archive

This extension has been developed on demand of a news portal to have protected news archives being promoted in public using feed. It enables public feeds consisting of headlines and teasers, only (news texts are always disabled), resulting in these benefits for the site:

• Registered members may subscribe to the feed without requiring authentication to be instantly informed on recently published news.
• Using module RSS-reader it's possible to have list of news available in protected area of site for promoting to become registered member.
• Google is actually seeing topics found in protected area and thus revising site's position in result sets.

Note on Using

The extension is integrating in backend masks for editing news archives and news. On creating or updating either the feed is generated if enabled. But, on utilizing Contao's maintenance tool to clean XML files this extension is being ignored and thus any existing feed gets removed. Please, fake some updating of news archive for having its feed regenerated again.

The related feature of core disitribution has been disabled in release 2.9.4. So this module might render useless in earlier releases.
