* 2021-05-06 version 0.7.0

  - New feature
    - added "tour mode" to save a "temporary bookmark" of links as explained here:

      gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/users/solderpunk/gemlog/gemini-client-navigation.gmi

      As  an extension  of the  idea above  the command  accepts space
      separated list  of link index  or link  ranges (e.g: "5-7  1 2")
      but, if a list of number  is not recognized by the software, the
      input from user is used  as a regular expression matching either
      the link name or the link URI.

  - Bugfix
    - [gemini]
      - fixed crash  when opening a  gemini page longer than  one opened
        before.  When user  switched from a page to  another shorter the
        window scrolling position was not restored, pointing outside the
        actual text line counts;
      - Fixed  bug that  let users  stuck in  a loop  when going  back in
        history to an URI with a redirect;
      - fixed bug when  creating temporary  file, name was not unique;
      - fixed rendering of gemini page, there was problems wrapping text;
      - fixed bug that prevented to open a local file using a tilde as
        an alias for $HOME
    - prevented a  crash when  a search was  started but  not actually
      performed because of wrong input (i.e. empty input) and the user
      tried to open the link window

     - [gemini]
       - Switched to a new capsule when searching geminispace

* 2021-04-17 version 0.6.2
