[fedora-india] Announcing loki-0.11 release

[Ankur Sinha]

hey all,

We had shortly discussed an app that notifies the user of a new comic
strip at the recent FAD. I got down to it last week and have come up
with a release. I call it "loki"[1]. It's really raw right now. It uses
libcurl and libconfig to read from a conf file and check for the
availability of a new comic strip. It does this by comparing the stored
previous issue time stamp with the "Last-modified" tag of the HTTP
header returned by the site's rss feed.

I haven't incorporated the notification area pop up and auto checking
yet. Its on my TODO list for the next release.

The app is "Autotoolized". Thanks Siddhesh for the workshop and links
later to get me started. 

You can get the tars here[2]

Please give it a try. Feedback is more than welcome. 

Thanks, 

regards,
Ankur
