Progress on version 0.6

Having taken a break from QTM development for a couple of weeks, I decided to get back to working on the "trunk" rather than on the 0.5 branch. Basically "trunk" is supposedly the main development base, while branches are generally used for finessing individual release versions; however, last Spring I decided the next big feature would be persistence in blog and category names, to save on the persistent reloading of categories, in particular, every time the user starts QTM, or changes which blog he wants to post to. QTM then saves it all in a big XML file. However, I got bogged down in adding features to version 0.5, so I've had to add the new features in trunk into the source files from version 0.5.8, which I released last month.

That big XML file is what I expect to use to store multiple accounts, which is the next major feature after this persistence is achieved. Presently, posting entries as drafts works; I've not tried anything else. I cannot give an estimated release date, but as with so many things with QTM, it's all seemed easier than I thought it would - it depends, as it always has, with me not having too much else to do. I intend to call this version 0.6, and that the first version with multiple accounts will be 0.7.
