What's new with 0.5.0:

  -Completely new authorization structure:
    *Now starts immediately (without asking for password) as unprivileged user (every user can browse apps)
    *Requests superuser authorization for privileged operations (only when needed)
    *Drops superuser privileges immediately when it is not more useful (more secure)
    *Let's the main GUI to be preloaded by the tray (faster startup)
    *Closing/Minimizing the main GUI (also when running privileged operations) is managed by the tray
    *Tray click leads to show/hide the main GUI
    *Closing the tray also closes AppSet instances (when running privileged operations ask for a confirmation)
    *Tray "check for updates NOW!" action is now calling the authorization backend (and really works better than before)
  -Options are now stored "per user" (every possible sudoer has its own options)
  -New option "Auto select system files for upgrade" (checked by default) for "non expert users" (disabled if in expert mode)
  -Search bar delay now default to 1200 ms
  -Removed AppSetTray-Qt desktop file (now there is only AppSet-Qt in DE's menus)
  -Better integration with helper daemon
  -News reader now retries (every 5 seconds) to download feeds when fails (without hiding the panel)
  -Asks DE's Session Manager to cancel shutdown if the main GUI is still opened (to avoid errors caused by user distraction)
  -New About dialog
  -Chinese-Taiwan translation
  -Turkish translation
