What's new dialog

What's New: Tip of the Day style dialog.

Currently a draft as depends strongly on config, and on files that need to be packaged correctly. There are some placeholder files included that should not be released.

Definitely need to check installers for this one!

Expected behaviour is that it will show messages for V5.1.7 and 7.0 (and not for 5.0.6).

Code looks good. I will test functionality

I've tried to run it from the installer and it is failing with
13:33:14 - sas.qtgui.MainWindow.MainWindow - ERROR - Application failed with: No module named 'sas.qtgui.Utilities.WhatsNew.messages'
13:33:14 - sas.qtgui.Perspectives.Fitting.FittingWidget - ERROR - Traceback (most recent call last):

Please keep in mind that the additional (non-py) files need to be manually added as data to the pyinstaller script. This applies to the HTML files you created.

datas list in installers\sasview.spec should be modified.

Running from the dev build.

Default settings work fine.
When switched to "Don't show this window" and restarting SV, I get
