QGIS Plugin: Show Random Changelog Entry on Launch

Pops up a window showing a random entry from the QGIS version's visual changelog.

It might take a while for the window to appear because all images etc. are loaded. In other words the behaviour is a bit annoying...

Just meant as a small prototype for myself to be reminded of new QGIS features.

TODO

  • Also consider the last n versions (maybe up to latest LTR) and random pick one
  • Add information to the user how to disable the plugin again
  • Show some indication that at some point the future THERE WILL BE A WINDOW IN YO FACE
  • Instead of scrolling, extract just the section and make a new HTML document from it?
  • Properly clear the message from the messagebar when done instead of using an arbitrary duration
  • Handle changelog fetching failures :D
  • Do use QtWebKit anymore
