[Rd] RSS Feed of NEWS needs a hand

[Lluís Revilla]

Many thanks Duncan,
I tried to look into the code but didn't manage to advance much due to some
java configuration issues.

To prevent being flooded by content of old versions I added a filter to
only repost those that the release version of the branch is in the title of
the content.
Maybe this would be helpful to avoid publishing the full NEWS again.

Lluís
