added dialog allowing to decide what to do with downloaded file;

MDI actions are now enabled by default;

multiple fixes and improvements for MacOS X;

allow to specify default arguments using arguments.txt;

various minor fixes and improvements.

Known issues:

under Windows downloading files might lead to crash - fixed in hotfix;

- fixed in hotfix; restoring existing session from previous releases might lead to non maximized tabs, you can use Maximize All to maximize them - fixed in hotfix;

- fixed in hotfix; older Qt versions might cause crashes while rendering tab thumbnails, as workaround you can set TabBar/EnablePreviews to false in about:config.

Since several important features got delayed (but are almost ready) you can expect next beta sooner than usual.
