[Raymond Yau]

> QasTools version 0.17.0 is available.

> Changes:

>  * all: setting names for state save/restore changed/regrouped
>  * all: smart main window sizeHint() to get a useable window
>        size after leaving fullscreen
>  * all: new common info dialog - uses QListView page
>        selection intead of tabs
> * shared: device selection style tweaks: selected item
>           now emphasized by a thin frame
> * shared: device selection style tweaks: Rounded selection area
> * shared: use QSplitter instead of QDockwidget for device selection
>           view. It couldn't be detached anyway and size restoring
>          works more reliable.

>              (was ~/.config/qasconfig/)
