* Complete quick_feed_picker() stuff in tickr_quickfeedpicker.c.

* Swap win32 log files every hour to prevent generating huge ones.
  Finally fix an old bug on win32.

* Several little improvements/fixes in tickr_feedpicker.c.

* New type FList (feed doubly-linked list) and associated functions
  f_list_*() in tickr_list.c. Will replace confusing: char url_array[] /
  char *p_url[] / char **p_url stuff in: tickr_main.c, tickr_feedpicker.c,
  tickr_opml.c and tickr_resource.c.

* Renaming 2 src files:
  - tickr_rss.c -> tickr_feedparser.c
  - tickr_rsswin.c -> tickr_feedpicker.c

* Add new func: win_with_progress_bar() (in tickr_otherwins.c) and use
  it in feed list import thing (in tickr_opml.c) instead of
  not-spinning-as-expected win_with_spinner().

* When opening the feed picker dialog, highlight and scroll to current
  feed, plus several extra fixes and tweaks (in tickr_rsswin.c.)

* Add new func: highlight_and_go_to_row() (in tickr_quickfeedpicker.c.)

* Add new func: get_feed_index_in_selection() (in tickr_resource.c.)

* Add new module and func: tickr_quickfeedpicker.c: quick_feed_picker().

* Add new func: question_win_at().

* Move 'Import/Export Preferences' from 'File' to 'Edit' in menu layout.

* Check/improve tickr_socket.c code and move typedefs, prototypes,
  error codes, ... for tickr_socket.c into tickr_socket.h for
  modularity sake.

* Pause tickr (on mouse-over AND) when popup menu is opened.

* Change big_error() function (and prototype in libetm-0-4.3) to
  handle variable number of args / change warning() the same way.

* Add new func: try_str_to_utf8() in tickr_rss.c
  -> try to fix string when utf-8 validation fails.

* Add new func: remove_trailing_whitespaces_from_str(char *) in
  libetm-0.4.3/str_mem.c.

* Change SEND_RECV_TIMEOUT to SEND_RECV_TIMEOUT_SEC and
  SEND_RECV_TIMEOUT_USEC.

* Change main window title:
  'app name and version num | feed title / file name'
  ->
  'feed title / file name | app name and version num'

* In libetm-0.4.3:
  - Compile with win32_specific.c only on win32 (fix empty unit
    warning.)
  - get_libetm_version() (function name modified.)

* Fix a typo in debian/control Build-Depends:
  'debhelper (>= 7.O.50~)' instead of 'debhelper (>= 7.0.50~)'
  which only shows up when trying to build for Lucid.

* Split tickr_http.c into tickr_http.c and tickr_socket.c.

* libetm-0.4.2 -> libetm-0.4.3:
  Replace KB, MB, GB, TB with KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB.

* Implement new parameter: <mouse wheel scrolling apply to:
* s = ticker-speed / f = feed-in-list / n = none>.

* Set <ticker pause on mouse-over> as optional.

* Select/highlight and scroll to added URL in the list window.

* Split compute_surface_and_win() code into compute_surface and
  compute_win, because the later is not always necessary. When
  window-always-on-top is disabled, compute_win needs to be run only
  twice at program startup (ie once after gtk_widget_show_all() has been
  called), then whenever params are changed, but not every time a new
  feed is loaded.

* Add preferences (settings) importing/exporting feature.

* 'file' scheme support added in tickr_http.c -> enables reading *and*
  xml-processing of (local) text files (wheras 'open text file' *only*
  read them.)

* 'HTTPS not supported' handling/warning added in tickr_http.c (fix bug:
  program freezes whith HTTP redirects to HTTPS.)

* xml 'quick check' in tickr_http.c:format_quick_check() don't reject
  anymore valid (?) feeds not starting with '<?xml' (like google news.)

* A few little changes in libetm-0.4 -> libetm-0.4.2.

* Use mouse wheel to go to previous/next feed.

* Hide passwords in connection settings window.

* Pause ticker and show feed title in tooltip on mouse-over.

* Renaming all source files: news_*.c/h -> tickr_*/c/h.

3. By Emmanuel Thomas-Maurin on 2011-11-08

* Fix sort_url_list(EMPTY_LIST) falsly returning one element list
  (in news_list.c.) Now, program doesn't hang anymore if lauched with
  no feed URLs selected.

* Add in news_main.c: shift2left_callback():
  env->suspend_rq = TRUE / (cairo drawing code) / env->suspend_rq = FALSE

* Tickr fails to build with ld --as-needed (recently-set-as-default
  linker flag) because libraries must be placed after objects needing
  theirs symbols.
  To fix that, we use autoconf macro PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK2, gtk+-2.0, ,)
  and PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XML2, libxml-2.0, ,) in configure.ac, and we
  may so remove `pkg-config --libs GTK+-2.0' and `xml-config --libs' from
  src/tickr/Makefile.am.
