I want to have a feed that contains all unread articles of all feeds

This is supported since newsbeuter 0.7. All you need to do is to add the following line to your ~/.newsbeuter/urls file:

"query:Unread Articles:unread = \"yes\""

When I reload the Wesnoth RSS feed, it only displays one article. What is wrong?

The Wesnoth RSS feed http://feed43.com/wesnoth.xml is not exactly broken, but makes it very difficult to distinguish the different articles. Newsbeuter's duplicate article detection erroneously recognizes all articles as being the same. But there's a workaround: simply copy the wesnoth.xsl from newsbeuter's contrib directory to e.g. ~/bin, install the xmlstarlet tool, and add the following line to your ~/.newsbeuter/urls file:

"filter:xmlstarlet tr ~/bin/fixwesnoth.xsl:http://feed43.com/wesnoth.xml"in

This fixes the RSS feed by adding proper GUIDs to every item which then enables newsbeuter to distinguish the different articles in the feed.
