New Features:
* Tray icon feature can now use AppIndicator library instead of
obsolete X11 tray icons. Although app indicators are mostly known
from Ubuntu's Unity desktop, they also work in elementaryOS and
GNOME Shell (with
[AppIndicator extension](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support))
and provide superior user experience. Issue: #45
* Users can easily clear cookies, cache and temporary files, IndexedDB
and WebSQL databases and local storage from the Preferences dialog
→ tab Website Data. Issue: #331
Enhancements:
* Versioning scheme was changed to be more compact, e.g. 4.4.1 instead
of 3.1.4-1.gabcd. Nuvola 4.0 was re-targeted as Nuvola 5.0.
* Nuvola can do its own user agent quirks (i.e. to disguise itself as
a different web browser) in order to work around web pages that
doesn't work with the WebKit's user agent string.
Issue: #336
* Flatpak builds use the latest stable WebKitGTK+ 2.16.3 bringing
fixes for three security vulnerabilities as well as several crashes
and rendering issues.
Web App Scripts:
* Google Play Music script uses own user agent quirks to work around
the malfunctioning Google sign-in web page.
Issue: #336
Bug fixes:
* The build script now raises error if it is ran with Python < 3.4.
* Fixed a bug when the menus of tray icons and dock items were not
updated.
* Nuvola now aborts when required data files are not found (e.g. in
incomplete installation) rather they running with errors in the
background.
* Obsolete test suite has been removed. A new one will be created
during ongoing modernization. Issue: #335
* Broken -L/--log-file options were removed.
Issue: #338
* Various fixes of HTTP Remote Control feature.
Under the Hood:
* Nuvola's filesystem namespace was changed from `nuvolaplayer3` to
`nuvolaruntime`. The data dir is installed at
PREFIX/share/nuvolaruntime, libraries were renamed to
`libnuvolaruntime-*.so` and binaries to `nuvola(ctl)`.
Users' configuration, data and cache is migrated automatically.
* Nuvola's git repository was moved to
https://github.com/tiliado/nuvolaruntime.
* WebKitGTK+ >= 2.16.0 is required as all new API is now used
unconditionally to make maintenance easier.
* Added optional dependency on appindicator3-0.1 >= 0.4.
Use `./waf configure --noappindicator` to disable
this dependency and related functionality (Tray icon feature).
* Nuvola no longer bundles Engine.io-client JavaScript library
but expects version 3.1.0 of it located at the
JSDIR/engine.io-client/engine.io.js (JSDIR is DATADIR/javascript
unless changed with --jsdir).
Issue: #341
* Nuvola no longer supports web app scripts without a desktop file.
* Test suite was reintroduced (build/run-nuvolaruntime-tests).
Issue: #335
* A lot of refactoring and removal of obsolete code and other
improvements.

It sometimes happens that something bad is stuck in cache and web pages fail to load, e.g. tiliado/nuvola-app-amazon-cloud-player#23
There should be option to clear:
