WordPress autoupdate did not break my RSS.

I really like WordPress, but the last spontaneous update (the autoupdate feature was recently enabled by default) seems to have broken my RSS. Good thing nobody reads this blog, I guess! I’m turning the bloody thing off. Grumble grumble grumble.

Update 2014-02-05: Perhaps not related to the 3.8.1 autoupdate, but rather to the new version of WordPress’s embedded post editor in 3.8. The damnable thing (which has always been too “expert hostile” for my taste, in every version) took a quote that I’d pasted in from a .PDF and sprinkled it with magical invisible ^L characters, which are not legitimate in RSS. I found them with a serious editor and got rid of them, now RSS works again.
