Hello there!

Yesterday, we've committed the resume and "file and folder naming"
patches to the repository. This obviously needs testing, and I'd
be very happy to hear from you how it goes and where problems are
still to be found. Below you find instructions (also posted onto
the mailing list) for how to backup and restore your settings and
how you can test the new code.

Please report any feedback in the bug tracker:

   http://bugs.gpodder.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57

Thanks,
Thomas
