Happy new year to all!

The new version 1.5 of jPSKmail is now ready!
This release is focused on stability. With that in mind we have had a
test group consisting of David (KF4WBS) and Gunnar (SA6BQZ) that have
tested all the betas and the release to make sure it works. That also
means I have been busy taking care of bugs they have found and I am
really happy with that. Thank you Gunnar and David!
Thanks also to Franco Spinelli for Italian translations!

This release may be the final stable release before we move to the next
branch where the modem part is integrated into the client itself.

There are a few noteable changes and additions:

* A new integrated contact manager/address book
You wont have to remember and type all those email addresses all the
time any more. Just create a new entry in the address book and the next
time you write an email you can just select the addressee in the book.
The manager itself is reached from the email tab. When writing an email
just click on the "To:" button and you can select where to send it.
It's also possible to add addressees to the Cc or copy field, they are
sent with the email but not all servers are able to handle them yet.

* Priority outbox
During a connected session you can push the "send" button on the email
tab to send an email from the outbox to the server. If you wish to send
a certain message first then select that before you push the send
button. This is almost a necessity when handling local mail not destined
for internet distribution but to the server you are connected to.
If nothing is selected then it works as usual.

* Frequency calculator
We state the frequencies used as the real frequencies, the center of the
passband. The real frequency is what is on the rig dial + the audio
center frequency of the modem (for usb that is, always use usb btw).
The calculator helps you set the proper dial frequency on the rig.

* bug fixes...
- Outbox view updates better when messages are created/sent/deleted
- aprs beacon checkbox now saves it state
- Better Italian translation thanks to IW2DHW
- Better Swedish translation
- Lots of small bug fixes..
