- the Save As dialog now uses the current filename in the filename field (issue #18)

created after a chapter break to be displayed incorrectly (issue #78)
- fixed issue with TOC editor not resolving HTML entities (issue #125)

properly appears after all images (issue #117)
- added support for importing images referenced in SVG elements in HTML import
- HTML importing now defaults to a locale-aware codec if one is not detected in the HTML stream;
previously the fallback codec was UTF-8; this change should improve importing of old HTML
documents (issue #113)
Sigil v0.1.3 2009.09.02.
- implemented a work-around for a bug in Qt causing documents with "us-ascii" encoding
specified in the XML declaration to crash Sigil (issue #109)

by HTML element: moving the caret in one View will center the other View (upon switching)
to the same HTML element that held the caret in the first View (issue #8)
- newlines are now removed from TOC headings to avoid rendering problems in ADE (issue #96)
- Sigil now creates a unique book identifier (if one is not provided by the user)
using the UUID standard instead of a radnom sequence of characters and numbers;
the old "SigilGEN" scheme is replaced with "UUID"
- initial support for calibre interoperability (issue #94)
- book updates from TOC editor are now faster and have a much smaller memory overhead
- fixed issue with removing headings from TOC in TOC editor (issue #88, part 2 and issue #21);

- implemented a workaround for a webkit bug causing the first character of a heading

invoked directly; this was done to speed rebuilds
- Macs now have a standard multiple document interface: opening a new file opens it
in a new window, not in the old one (issue #22)
- fixed a bug with warning dialog not informing the user of unsaved changes
if he tried to load from the recent files list
XXX: binary was renamed from "Sigil" to "sigil" -- should I make PKGNAME
match?
