[Lars Lindner <lars lindner gmx net>]

Liferea 0.5.1

Liferea (Linux Feed Reader) is a fast, easy to use, and easy to install
GNOME news aggregator for online news feeds. It supports a number of
different feed formats including RSS/RDF, CDF, Atom, OCS, and OPML.

Bugfixes
========

* When URLs are passed to an external browser they are
  now escaped correctly. (Lars Lindner)
* When a feed could not be downloaded after the
  subscription it was missing a cache file. This caused
  an error message each time the program starts. This
  is fixed now. (Lars Lindner)
* Debian bug #254959 reported by Martin-Eric Racine was
  fixed. No Liferea recognizes RSS 1.0 Creative Commons
  license information. (Lars Lindner)
* Better favicon detection (more coming in the next release).
* Feed properties (such as titles) are now saved when they
  change. (Nathan Conrad)
* Compiles on Solaris, and is hopefully more portable now.
  (Nathan Conrad)
* Feed update locking issues were fixed. (Nathan Conrad)
* Several memleaks were fixed.


Changes
=======

* Favicons are now processed with gdkpixbuf and saved
  to disc in PNG format. Images with 24bit colors and
  sizes other than 16x16 are now supported. (Nathan Conrad)

  PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BREAKS FAVICON CACHE
  DOWNWARD COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER RELEASES!
  WHEN YOU FALLBACK YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR ICONS.

* Now a short help text is displayed in the HTML view
  after startup. (Lars Linder)
* Updated networking code. Many more things, such as
  adding a new feed, are processed in the background.
  (Nathan Conrad)
* Improved preferences for selecting how to open a link
  in an external browser. (Nathan Conrad)
* Popup-window notifications of new items. This
  is a first implementation and we are open for your
  critics and suggestions! (Karl Soderstrom)
