+0.6
+
+* longer refresh intervals possible
+* plugins can decide now if they want to take part in refresh cycles
+
 0.5.2
 
 * refresh settings
 * only launch datebook config when clicked on a date ( opie only )
 * less qcop trouble on sharps retail rom 
 
 0.5.1
 
 * icons scalable and clickable again
 
 0.5
 
 * now fully plugin based
 
 0.3.4
 
 * "fill our business card now a clickable label"
 * Several bugfixes regarding todo section.
 
 0.3.3
 
 * Changed the logo so it better scales to bigger display and also
   made the "Today" string translatable.
 * some am/pm fixes
 * clickable labels now in libopie
 
 0.3.2
 
 * Autostart is now more configurable. You can decide how long
   the ipaq has to has been  suspended, before autostart is triggered.(Opie
   only)
 * am/pm time optinal (autodetect)
 
 0.3.1

 * better translation (thanks carsten and others)
 * fixes memory leaks
 * bugfixes in calendar part, now location and note are working again. 
 
 0.3.0
 
 * today uses now tododb from libopie. So major changes in the todo part:
         - overdue items on top
         - then sorted by date, then by priority
 * some cleanups
 * speed optimisations
 
 0.2.9
 
 * Many bugfixes.
 * Today now apparently sorts the dates _allways_ right, i would assume it 
 to be a qt bug

 * Appointments are now clickable (connection to datebook still missing)
 * autostart support (opie only)
 
 0.2.7
 
 * check if todolist.xml was changed before parsing it
 * check only every 30 sec for changes.
 * some visual stuff
