+- New experimental ioctl backend, which is more cpu-friendly than the 
+  previous one 
+- Added a curses client (thanks to Andrew Psaltis)
+- Added a right-click connection menu to the tray icon
+- Added options to specify a dns domain and search domain for static networks

+- Wicd won't blindly kill dhcp clients / wpa_supplicant any more
+- Added an option to automatically switch from a wireless network to a wired 
+  one as soon as a cable is plugged in

+  during scans

+- The gui will now display the encryption entry dialog if you attempt to 
+  connect to an encrypted network without entering a password
+- Static gateway entry is now optional
+- Passwords with leading or trailing whitespace are now stored properly
