Fider 0.10 released with notifications system and more

1. Web and Email Notifications

This has been, for a long time, the most wanted feature of Fider. The notification system is based on a subscription model where users are only notified about ideas they subscribed to. This can be done manually by clicking on "Subscribe" or automatically whenever they vote or comment on it.

As for Collaborators and Administrators, they automatically subscribe to all ideas, although it's possible to unsubscribe from each idea individually.

Last but not least, a notification system is not complete if there's no way to turn it off, which is why all users have the option to configure which events they want to be notified about on each channel (web and email).

2. Show similar ideas as you type a new one

We now filter and suggest similar ideas as the user types a new one so they can vote on an existing idea instead of creating a new one. We hope that this will reduce the number of duplicate posts you receive. But even if the user decides to post a duplicate idea, you can still mark it as duplicate.

Our first contribution!

Hellslicer fixed Fider when running behind a TLS termination proxy (#254). Thanks for the contribution and we hope to see more bug reports and hopefully pull requests as well!
