It's been a long time since I last did a release of rawdog! No big new
features this time; just a handful of bugfixes, including the Python 2.5
encoding problem that several people have run into.

I plan to merge the splitstate branch into rawdog proper for the next
release (since it's what I've been using myself for the last 18 months
or so, and I've had no problems with it lately).

Changes since rawdog 2.10:

Avoid a crash when a feed's URL is changed and expiry is done on the
same run.

Encode dates correctly in non-ASCII locales (reported by Damjan
Georgievski).

Strengthen the warning in PLUGINS about the effects of overriding
output_write_files (suggested by Virgil Bucoci).

Add the state directory to sys.path, so you can put modules that plugins
need in your ~/.rawdog (suggested by Stuart Langridge).

When adding a feed, check that it isn't already present in the config
file (suggested by Stuart Langridge).

Add --no-lock-wait option to make rawdog exit silently if it can't lock
the state file (i.e. if there's already a rawdog running).

Update to the latest feedparser, which fixes an encoding bug with Python
2.5, among various other stuff (reported by Paul Tomblin, Tim Bishop and
Joseph Reagle).

Handle the author_detail fields being None.
