Changes for 0.2.x

• 0.2.5: Casts with no published date in their feeds are tagged with the current date rather than being sent back in time to the early 17th century.
• 0.2.5: Fix: Incorrect download rates.
• 0.2.5: Fix: Resume playack not working when skipping between a cast and a non-cast file.
• 0.2.4: Read tags from files before retagging downloads. This means retagging reliably merges feed info with tags already in the file.
• 0.2.4: Various bug fixes.
• 0.2.3: Fix for compatibility issue when importing some OPML feed lists.
• 0.2.3: More tolerant of incorrect mimetypes in feeds.
• 0.2.3: More rigorous illegal character checks in download paths.
• 0.2.2: Fixes for retagging preferences bugs introduced in 0.2.0.
• 0.2.1: Fix for potential crash when updating feeds. Keep submitting those crash reports!
• 0.2.0: Import and export OPML feed lists. (Hold the shift key when opening the foobar2000 File menu to see the hidden import/export menu options.)
• 0.2.0: Create filter-based Podcatcher autoplaylists. (First filter the Feed Manager dialog by assigning a keyboard shortcut to the hidden 'Filter Podcatcher Feed Manager' main-menu command, and then click 'P'.)
• 0.2.0: Backend now uses a database, meaning that if there is a crash, your feeds' and casts' statuses are not lost to the mists of time.

Known issues

• Group headings don't respect UI colours and fonts reliably.
