So a new version of BLAM! is released upon the world, be afraid, be very
afraid...

BLAM! is a RSS reader and specially suited for reading planets around
the world. It's written in C# so you'll need Mono 1.0 with Gtk# 1.0, you
also need Gtkhtml 3.0 and Gtk# built with support for that. The
dependency on Sqlite that existed in earlier versions of BLAM! has been
removed.

What's new in this release?

      * Reads the name of a new feed from the feed instead of asking the
        user to enter it. Makes it easier to add feeds, just drag one
        into the window and press enter in the dialog. 
      * Changed the backend from sqlite to a serialized XML file. 
      * Only store the entries that are actually in the feed. Don't
        store all entries for all time. 
      * Mark entries as read if they have been read already in another
        channel. 
      * Sort the entries in the order they appear in the feed. 
      * Translations enabled. 
      * Updated to work with Mono 1.0 
      * Most importantly, works great with Mike Newman's blog!
