0.95.4 BETA

[birdie-github]

Full Changelog: 0.95.3...0.95.4

A bug fix release with multiple behind the scenes changes. No need to update if everything's working for you.

• Catch up on overdue feeds: When updates on startup are disabled, the app now waits one minute, then checks feeds whose scheduled updates were missed while it was closed. Individual feed schedules and disabled feeds are respected.
• Safer saving: Improved reliability when keeping the database in memory. Failed saves are reported, and an exit-time save failure offers retry and recovery options.
• More reliable cleanup: Failed article cleanup is rolled back rather than leaving partially completed changes, with clearer error messages.
• Performance improvements: Reduced unnecessary work when checking for duplicate articles, cleaning up old articles, and copying the database.
• Correct article times: Fixed local-time display for articles published under a different daylight-saving time offset.
• Better feed icons and status messages: Improved website icon detection and made errors in Feed Properties readable.
• Consistent website compatibility settings: Images, downloads, and update checks now use the configured User-Agent and applicable website overrides.
• Safer connections and shutdown: HTTPS requires TLS 1.2 or newer. Improved handling of active downloads during exit and saving when the app receives a normal termination request on Linux or macOS.
• Clearer troubleshooting logs: Backup messages explain what triggered them, while debug logs no longer dump entire articles.
• Fixed an error when switching article tabs and improved handling of feed links sent to an already running instance.
• Updated Russian translations and documentation.
