20 more hours and a hotfix

Versioning

Maybe there is a little confusion about the version numbers in this project. Well it can get even worse. The project name may change in the next version. :)
Anyway I ve decided to have an "emule" like versioning. So there were 0.91(a) later (now) 0.91b and maybe in the future 0.91c (if there are any serious bugs) before the next serious upgrade 0.92a.
I m planning the plugin architecture for this version and also some user interface gui customization options (not exactly skins) and of course various smaller fixes/updates etc

0.91b is out

A computer program written in English language by a Greek showing a Cuban song's Spanish lyrics in a Japanese translated User Interface. Globalization or what?

Thanks everyone who helped in this release
