Fixes: #507
Taking the idea from @stefmolin , here we get the
pubDatefrom the mtime of the file. In CI we restore those from the commit history.There is a minor bit of semantic mismatch between the RSS feed/RSS spec and what we might want for the site - the RSS field is
pubDate, or the date that the item was published. I don't think the spec is prescriptive about what that means, e.g. updating a file could be re-publishing it (that's how we treat it here). Usually it's good to treat the original publication date and the update date separately when displaying: e.g. "Originally published: 2020-01-01, updated: 2025-06-04" since both of those are independently meaningful for a reader. Currently we don't display the date on the site, but i renamed the parameter todate_updatedin case we want to add that in the future.You'll notice that all the dates for the tutorials are shortly before right now, since that's the last time they were changed (to remove the dates). That may or may not be desirable... so i also made it possible to explicitly assign those dates if we wanted to backdate the existing tutorials, for example.
