2.0.3
This is a new bugfix release for 2.0. Thanks to everyone reporting 2.0 bugs and helping solving them!
Changes
* Ensure schemas are available during testing
(Paul Gevers)
* Fixes missing top margin when Readability.js does not convert text
(Lars Windolf)
* Show likes/comment count in the same line as categories, slightly
increase separator padding

Planned project relocation from github.com to codeberg.org
Please note that I'm planning to move the Liferea source repository away from Github in the near future.
Github will probably stay as a mirror repo, but releases and issues will move to Codeberg. I know this will
cause work for all maintainers, but I still consider this worth doing.

2.0.2
This is a bugfix release for 2.0 which addresses several problems.
Noteworthy is a fix for the networking behaviour which was too strict since 1.16.14 and did prevent
manually triggered update when the feed reported update interval actually did allow for an update.
To make debugging such cases easier the "Update Monitor" renders feeds which do not want to be
updated yet with a darker shade of blue. Additionally when you try to update such a feed a warning
dialog will appear asking you not do this while still allowing you to force update.
Changes
* Fixes #1598: Don't delete elements that are potential footnotes
(Peter Simonyi, Lars Windolf)
* Fixes #1595: Fix prefs dialog changing the update interval when opened
(Peter Simonyi)
* Fixes #1594: WEBDAV sync on missing index.json fails
(Lars Windolf)
* Fixes #1593: Update all doesn't work
(Lars Windolf)
* Fixes an exception in SVG image resizing on invalid image sizes in content
(Lars Windolf)
* Fixes a bug that RSS ttl / syn period+frequency values were not used
(Lars Windolf)
* Fixes crash when removing items
(Lars Windolf)
Known problems
* DnD of feeds causes random crashes
* Missing top margin when Readability.js does not convert text
* update counter max only ever grows (should reset after most updates are finished after a while)
Feedback
As always please give feedback in the Github discussion.

2.0
