Shrook v2.7 released

I've just posted Shrook v2.7, which makes quite a few changes:

• The big new feature is change logging (with diffs) so when a publisher edits an item you can see what's changed*. These appear below the item body text, and are indicated by plus symbol overlaid on the yellow "new item" star. Currently there's no control over if or how these are shown - let me know what controls you'd like.
• The big bug-fix is the item column width problem in v2.66 several of you emailed me about. It should now behave correctly.
• If you're a Twitter user, you'll be delighted to learn that http: addresses in body text are now automatically made clickable by Shrook**.
• I've made special provision for the conspicuously and spectacularly invalid Whitehouse blog feed**.
• If you enter an address beginning "feed:" into the Subscribe to Feed window, Shrook now knows what to do with it.
• You now get advance warning if your shrook.com is about to expire, and Shrook doesn't nag you with error messages after it does. I've also made some tweaks to make configuration easier.

Download it from the Shrook page, or select "Check for Updates" from the Shrook menu. Feedback to the usual address.

(* I realise it's not spectacularly innovative, but it needed adding all the same)
(** These new features apply to any similar feed, not just the examples given)
