Shrook v2.66 released

Several small but important usability improvements in this version:

• I've ditched calling feeds "channels". 6 years ago hardly anyone knew what a "feed" was, and it's a horrible sounding word, so I decided to use something else. Now it's time to conform.
• I've redesigned the New Channel Subscribe to Feed window to make it much easier to use. Just enter any old address and it'll figure out whether it's a feed or a web page and do the right thing.
• It's now impossible to set the title column widths wider than the pane they're contained in, which makes it super-mega-easy to make them exactly the same width, which is what 99% of people want, by dragging them as wide as they'll go.
• I've added an option to the preferences to ask to be notified of beta versions by Shrook's auto-update feature. If you're interested in getting releases a little more often and new features and bug-fixes a little earlier, there's no harm in setting it.
• I've tweaked the look of the main window slightly to get further away from the now-retro brushed metal appearance.

If you have version 2.65, you can select Check for Updates from the Shrook menu. Otherwise, download it from the Shrook page

Why can't I move the column marker off the page (or to the edge of the page) as I was doing in the previous rev.? Now they stop part way across.
