iTerm 0.9.2 released

This new release features a new preference system. It is based on the same "Profiles-oriented" idea of previous version, with enhancement targeted toward the user experiences. The new changes include:

•A Change of preferences settings:
Move bookmark tab to a separate window. Added an option to display bookmark window on startup.
Move profiles window outside of Preference Panel
The Profiles window shows profiles on the left and their contents on the right.
Now allows to rename a profile.
Now allows to edit existing keymapping.
Changed Preference Panel into 5 tabs. Any changes in these settings are immediate effecitve. Ok/Cancel buttons are gone.
Renamed Configure window to Info to avoid confusion. Made the window long to make it look like an Info window.
Cmd-I to open and close window.
Added a button to allow updating.
Re-ordered main menu.
Added a bookmark menu. Opening a window or a tab is controlled by option key.
Moved tab operations into Windows menu.
Added "Return to Default Size" menu item.
Script menu no longer shows when there are no scripts found.
Added option to quit iTerm when all windows are closed
Enhanced About dialog. It's now shown on startup whenever you installed a new version.

• Now iTerm is able to check updates automatically using Sparkle framework.
• Added support for handling URLs. The following macros can be used in handler's command:
$$URL$$, $$HOST$$, $$USER$$, $$PASSWORD$$, $$PORT$$, $$PATH$$
For example, a bookmark's command is: telnet -l $$USER$$ $$HOST$$ $$PORT$$, and the URL is:
telnet://joe@fancyland.com:23
This will give you this command: telnet -l joe fancyland.com 23

•Allowing users to specify parameters in bookmarks' command. For example, if the command is: ssh $$User Name$$@myserver.com, when you start this session, iTerm will ask you to enter the "User Name", then plug your input into the command and run the session.

•Added support for the ESC sequence to show/hide cursor.
•Added a visual to indicate whether "send to all session" is turned on or not.
•Primitive support for terminfo/termcap. The termcap definition for a key is used when there is no customized keymapping.
•Enhanced stability.
•Many many bug fixes and GUI enhancements.
