Release notes

Version 0.9.6
* Using different RegExp to retrieve files to get rid of "(...)" patterns - Thanks to Chris Moeller (kode54)
* Added define which makes Qt3 support unnecessary when compiling with Qt versions < 4.7 - Thanks to Salvador Parra Camacho
* Added ico file to resources that the application icon is displayed in taskbar
* Supporting top level URIs e. g. http://www.4chan.org/wg/1 will download images of all threads on that page
* Program now comes with an updater (au.exe) which replaces the executable once a new version is available (currently windows and linux only)

Version 0.9.5
* Automatic reloading of partially received images
* Added freely configurable rescan timer values
* Added option to select if directory values should be saved within the session (inheriting directory value when creating a new tab)
* Added progress bar indicating how many thumbnails are in the queue to be rendered
* Fixed bug, where reloading of files with option "Save with original filename" lead to reloading wrong image
* Fixed wrong renaming of images when original filenames are equal due to elided text at 4chan post
* Some smaller bugfixes

- Storing of rescanning values have changed in settings.ini, so at the first start of this version the values have to be reset

Version 0.9.4
* Moved thumbnails creation into own thread to not block the UI
* for each thread files with the same filename are saved with an appended counter
* bugfixes concerning the progress bar
* Bug fixed that savepath is empty after cancelling the folder selection dialog

Version 0.9.3
* Saving state of each tab so that it automatically starts if it was running the last time
* Automatic checking if new version is available
* Changed Progressbar text content (always showed one more)

Version 0.9.2
* Added Configuration Dialog with options to
 - resume from previous session
 - select default download folder
 - set size for thumbnail images
 - select rendering method for thumbnails (HQ uses a lot more CPU)
 - set the maximum number of concurrent downloads per tab (if you are experiencing corrupted downloads decreasing this number may help)
 - select tab position
* Settings can be changed while having downloads in progress, only thumbnail size is ignored once a thumbnail has been created

Version 0.9.1
* Tabs are changing name now to see current download status even when tab is not active
* Option for preserving original filenames added

Version 0.9
* Initial release
* Supports multiple tabs
