Multithreaded (ie, parallel) downloading now working.
Bittorrent support
Categorised channel directories into those that are recommended,
awkward to use, non-compliant, etc.
Expand highly-recommended dirs and subscribed channels by default.
Upload throttling for Bittorrent; currently set to 12KBPS in
code/config.py; change manually if needed
Nicer display of downloading/downloaded media items
Updated MANIFEST to ship additional files
Reduce threads for feed downloading to 2, since it's a small
task and we want to keep CPU load down for video playback.
Dropped TaskPool engine in favour of pre-existing code with small
modifications for better object-orientation.
Small modifications to code, for new threading/taskpool engine
Better cleanup handling
Small locking issues; locking is currently disabled (in
code/TaskPool.py/Lockable)
Beginnings of bandwidth throttling for http/ftp downloads (currently
disabled)
Some fixes for media item displays
Correct some guidance messages
Correct dictionary handling for uriToArgs() and argsToURI()
Enforce provision of details like title and description when creating
media items, since the code is there to do it now.
utils.wrapURI() function, to supplement what enableWrapping() does.
Needed to keep uris within browser display limits. Long-term, should
just debug enableWrapping(). Enforcing wrapping through stylesheets
would be preferable to this.
Moved some methods that are no longer used out of classes, and into utils
as functions.
Save downloaded media items again using new media architecture
Save bookmarks when titles are updated
Only update feed's last check time AFTER checking for new entries
Show new episodes in a different colour in writeFeed (won't actually show
until other code is changed though).

Add and update feeds via a threadpool, removing UI delays.
Allows much faster subscriptions, and more responsive UI. Also
provides a generic architecture for parallel downloads, etc.
Handle G4 TV feeds as a special case.
Catch some small issues when parsing feeds, for greater reliability.
Move towards Parallel Downloads, and media classes.
Manually sized columns in sidebar, so newly added long feeds no longer hide the new episodes/downloads column.

Code cleanup: moved some helper functions to code/utils.py
Borrowed some PenguinTV threading code, as code/ThreadPool.py
Code cleanup: Broke up KTVMainWindow.py into separate modules for each
class, as intended.
Security: Don't explicitly enable Javascript for channel guides/sites;
instead, use defaults from KDE/Konqueror.
Use KParts.MainWindow instead of MainWindow.
Add fireant as a channel guide.
Remove redundant str-to-unicode conversion in KTVHTMLPart
Check for unicode rather than str type in utils.isAFeed()

this episode"

Now only saves bookmarks on each view of a feed if the feed actually
gets updated.

Nicer look to the user interface: better colours, user-friendly text
instead of uris in more places, more uniform look on different pages,
separated some options from main boxouts for episodes and downloaded
items etc.
Show version numbers directly from bzr's data, via BzrPublish
Simpler downloading, with less steps
Ready to Watch page now shows the size of downloaded files, to aid in
managing storage space.
Now downloads unenclosed videos and other media directly. This is useful
for multimedia feeds aren't proper podcasts (just rss feeds with video
links), and also for previewing podcasts on sites that allow you to
download individual episodes without subscribing. If you later subscribe,
the videos you manually downloaded appear as normal, in your subscribed
channel.
Enclosures and feed pages now use the user's chosen title, rather than the
default.
Just show the title at the top of feed pages, without an explanatory
"Feed", since user's titles are more obvious.
Added support for pcast: URIs
Added VLogDir to the list of channel directories
Adds an enclosure number to enclosure download titles when no title was
given in the feed.
Switch to all-unicode text and string types, since we're producing unicode
pages, supporting unicode filesystems, and I'm coding in a unicode locale.
Now saves subscriptions and downloads in separate files, so that download
lists can be removed without losing subscriptions, or vice-versa.

Don't throw an exception if asked to delete a file that has already been deleted.

Dramatically improved startup time: made parsing of feeds when adding a new channel conditional on not knowing the
channel's name.
Added a maximum feed length of 300 episodes/articles, just in case there are some really screwed up feeds out there.
Recognise more feed URLs
Properly clear the All Channels list, without deleting and re-creating the All Channels item itself.
Don't update channels at startup, when there's already an update timer to handle this. Dramatically improves
startup time.

In feed view, moved link from Episode's title header to a "Read more..." link at the bottom of
the episode box. The other way could mislead users into clicking on the title and going to the channel's website,
when they really wanted to just get the enclosure.
Removed urls from feed view, displaying a nicer title instead.
Some other small feed view improvements.
Update channels as they're added, and not on startup for all feeds. This lets the same code
work when new channels are added too. Also moves main code from _updateChannels to updateSingleChannel().
Changed the download begun page (_beginAndWriteDownload()), to look nicer, and to explain a bit about
how users can find out when a download has finished, and what they can do in the meantime.
Heavily updated the manual in preparation for release.
Renamed "VODCast Directories" to "Channel Directories" and "All Channels" to "Subscribed Channels"
for clarity.

Add Bookmark button, with URL validation
Delete Bookmark button, with checking of "All Channels" parentage
Moved "Help" bookmark entry to a separate help button below the bookmark list
Added a please wait message on startup
A lot of work towards cleaner/more reliable shutdown
(Slightly) nicer web pages via stylesheets and blocked-out items in feed lists
, download lists, etc.
(Slightly) nicer progress bar image
Nicer manual look, to match other pages.
Removed right-click handler, since delete button does that now.

Download files to ~/.KatchTV/mediastore/, with unique filenames
Download/rename files with extensions that reflect their contents, so they play properly
Auto-Prune media storage directory, when there is no longer any content in subdirs.
Reget files automatically if present on the local filesystem, but only attempt once. On the second attempt, reget
from scratch.
Save and restore download queue (it's broken without this, since it
could resume an existing file from another download that uses the same URL basename)

Added a mailto: link handler to the browser for mailto: links in the manual; it seemed to have problems working automatically
Download page automatically refreshes now
Download statistics properly fill download page, without scrolling (except in small windows)
Media player page fills a large area, since there's doesn't seem to be a good way to make it scale to any
window size.
