New:
more robust item detection and duplicate announcement protection, with simpler options
easier irc address syntax, drop -p/--port option
can poll https feeds
can poll from stdin (-)
can poll a file containing multiple copies of a feed (eg for testing)
`--cache-control` option sets a HTTP Cache-Control header
`--use-actions` announces with CTCP ACTIONs (like the /me command)
Fixed:
updated for GHC 7.6 & current libs
initialises http properly on microsoft windows
builds threaded and optimised by default
thread and error handling is more robust, eg don't ignore exceptions in the irc writer thread
can poll urls with semicolon parameter separator (eg darcsweb's)
can announce item urls containing percent
no longer adds stray "upload:" to IRC messages
renamed --dupe-descriptions to `--allow-duplicates`
dropped --debug flag
new item detection and announcing is more robust
announcements on console are clearer
a simulated irc connection is not logged unless --debug-irc is used
