v0.3 released!

Also known as the "I went off and got a life but I'm still here honest" release.

Uploaded to extras-devel (non-free as usual, MohammadAG seems to be looking at fixing packaging for me so I can remain lazy - other volunteers welcome!), so it should be available shortly.

One of the most popular changes for this release is a slightly tweaked news*feed* UI - entry is back at the top (as with the 0.1.x releases) and new newsfeed items appear at the top. Comments have not changed. This means the UI is now pretty much the same as Facebook. Thanks to everyone who voted! More votes will be coming.

Another largeish feature is *EXPERIMENTAL* support for viewing application posts, including link/photo/video thumbnails etc. This may break and eat your dog - you have been warned.

Last but not least, a bug with user avatars occasionally not loading has (hopefully?) been fixed.

Features
- UI changes to newsfeed, newest posts are at the top
- notification of like/unlike success (sadfist @ tmo)
- [EXPERIMENTAL] applications/shared link/video/image should do something (deans6571 @ tmo and others)

Fixes
- Avatars apparantly not always loading. could be a problem with too many requests at once? (netoak @ tmo)

Known Issues
- Posting a comment without having posted a newspost (= lacking stream_read permission) = error 200 no access from facebook (eean / various @ tmo)
- White on yellow information banners: this is a Qt bug, which will be automatically fixed with (PR1.2)
- Long names can be 'cut off' by the time since the post/comment was made.


I'd also like to say thanks to sadfist, deans6571, and all the people who voted in the recent poll - for their suggestions incorporated in this release.

Feedback, flames, and comments welcome as usual.

Enjoy!
