0.9.15 Released

This release adds some functionality and makes updating long threads faster. From now on Siilihai remembers the last page number of thread and when updating continues from it. This should make updating really long threads much faster. The downside is that edited or deleted messages won't be detected. For this a "Force update of thread" option is added. If you think a thread is out of sync, you can use it and Siilihai updates the thread from the first page.
Because of this change, the message database schema has changed and your message database will be reset.

The message view modes have been implemented - HTML (the basic), Text (For oldschool Usenet fans) and HTML Source.

The architecture has been changed so that the same QNetworkAccessManager is used to display messages - in other words image loading on HTTP protected sites now work.

Quoted text is now shown with darker background. Earlier it was sometimes difficult to see which parts of message were quotes from previous posts.

Notes about the Windows version

It has been reported that the UI on Windows version of Siilihai is slow. Also the installer size is almost 100 megs which is huge.

Current versions of Siilihai are built with debugging on. This increases the file size and makes larger binaries. As Windows lacks proper package management the required Qt libraries must be included with the installer. Qt's libs with debugging symbols are huge and explain the size and slowness of Windows build.

Releases without debugging on will be made after 1.0 is reached. It is probably be pretty soon, as the current version seems to work really well. I estimate that the non-debugging installer size will be around 20-30 megs.

0.9.14 Released

This release has been worth waiting. After some major changes "under the hood" Siilihai is now much faster than before. There's also new "Next unread" button, but power users know that space bar does the same thing.

Please test and report any problems
