Fixed Rss feed parser produces errors on items without the title tag

[danger@]

Affected version

2.2

Hello, it appears the XF feed parser has issues with entries that do not include title tags:

https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html#hrelementsOfLtitemgt documents that either title or description must be present. The problematic entries have description though. Here is the error that is being reported:

Exception: Error posting feed entry https://www.freebsd.org/news/newsflash/#2021-11-06:1 for feed 7: Please enter a valid title. src/XF/Service/Feed/Feeder.php:128

[XF Bug Bot]

Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XF release (2.2.9).

Change log:

Allow feed reader entries without a title to fallback to the description, and vice-versa

There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.
