Changes in v2.5
Wait if hovering: Don-t advance to the next pop-up if you-re hovering over it with your mouse.
Stay on top: Now you can choose to not have pop-ups stay on top, if you wish.
Border size: You can configure the size of the pop-up border.
Border color: You can configure the color of the pop-up border - and this can be done on a per-feed basis to help distinguish between items from different feeds!
Right-click links to copy the link URL.
Allow fallback on Windows-configured proxy.
Improved cache mechanism.
Proxy info is encoded on disk and displayed like a password in the user interface.
Checks for software updates every 24 hours, not just on app startup.
15 second socket timeout (was infinite, which caused problems with bad feeds).
Use black text color in pop-ups, regardless of system theme.
Use proxy when downloading feed favicons.
Removed webkit and html theme code remnants that weren-t being used.
