Fixed http-timeout while fetching xml ( as drupal_http_request has a default of 30 ). Made the timeout configureable, 120seconds by default. Made better error report to inform the user about such erros more precisly

not using date as prim key for releases anymore, as it can be the same for different releases (e.g. when you have releases for 1.xdev 2.xdev build at the same time nightly)

adding new methods to release / project (links). Fixed / rewritten the feed parsing of releases using XMLreader. Fixed issue not fetching version_patch

Implemented release fetching using XMLreader for better perfomance. Fixed several bugs related to the lazy fetcing and object loading. Fixed some validation errors. Fixed docs and defaults.

Added new XMLparser implementation (update_feed_xmlreader). Needs 12 seconds for parsing all projects, DOMdocument needs 30 minutes
Added cron-support with schedula (with configuration)
Fixing minor bugs in batch mode

Adding new interfaces to Project/ Releases like type, module_name and others
