[ann] AmphetaDesk v0.91 Available!

[Morbus Iff <morbus@disobey.com>]

AmphetaDesk v0.91 is now available!

AmphetaDesk is a news aggregator - it sits on your desktop, downloads the
latest news that interests you, and displays them in a quick and easy to
use webpage. With thousands of channels for selection, AmphetaDesk can
shave hours off your day when it comes to news reading. And you'll look
smart to all your friends!

What follows below are specific notes about this release.
You can download the latest release for your OS from:

NOTICABLE CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE:
Changes that are easily noticed by the user.
If you want the whole story, check the documentation in /docs/CHANGELOG.

 a. NewsIsFree.com integration - now when visiting NewsIsFree.com,
    if you see a channel that interests you and AmphetaDesk is running,
    all you have to do is click the AmphetaDesk button on the left
    hand side of the NewsIsFree.com page, and it'll be immediately
    added to your subscription list.

 b. AmphetaDesk will be a little speedier when it comes to checking
    the freshness of channels - we've fourth'd the amount of data
    we have to download. Likewise, server timeout lowered to 10
    seconds, allowing AmphetaDesk to move on faster if something
    is wrong with the remote server.

 c. Minor template changes all around after some usability testing -
    some explanations, nav bar links at the bottom of the page,
    and so forth.

 d. Various template variables added, allowing you to see how many
    channels you've subscribed to, and the number of items in the
    channels. Fickle statistics, to be true, but enlightening.

 e. Fixed some random bugs with Mozilla and Opera that would either
    cause repetitive crashes, or random "can't open the URL" messages.

 f. A Windows systray right click menu has been added, with "Open
    Window", "Refresh Listings" and "Exit" options. Anything else?


REPORTING BUGS:
What to do if something weird happens.

 a. Send morbus@disobey.com your /data/internal/AmphetaDesk.log file.
 b. Send morbus@disobey.com your /data/myChannels.opml file.
 c. Report the error message shown in the window (if any).
 d. If it's an error to do with displaying a channel, send the
    matching channel file from /data/channels/.

We will then give you a bug ID and you can track it at SourceForge.
