QTM 0.6: beta release

I've just released a first beta of version 0.6 of QTM. I actually think the version is almost ready for release, but not having given it much testing, other than with a few problems I knew were there, and one or two I didn't until I tried to post an entry, I can't say it's all fixed. So, here is a beta.

New features include persistency, which means your categories will be stored in an XML file (and in memory) until you next refresh them, or change your account. That means no constantly having to get the lists every time you start QTM, or open a new window, or change the blog selector. One exception: when you load an entry from disk, it does not save the category lists unless you tell it to, to stop it over-writing your normal account. This structure also makes it easier for me to write the multiple account feature, when I write it!

Also new is a Windows installer, and the ability to load entries from the Unix or Windows command line, and gone is expert (regex) searching on Qt 4.1, which restores compatibility with that version of Qt, which just doesn't support that way of searching a Qt text document.

So please download, and test, and report bugs! QTM is on SourceForge and SourceForge has a bug tracking system, and you don't have to be a registered developer to submit bugs (you can submit anonymously, or you can get a SourceForge account). So please download the source package or the Windows installer and tell me what should happen and what happens instead.
