Features:
- Default arguments are loaded from `coursera-dl.conf` file

## 0.8.0 (2016-10-04)
Features:
- Add `--download-delay` option that adds a specified delay in seconds
before downloading next course. This is useful when downloading many
courses at once. Default value is 60 seconds.
- Add `--only-syllabus` option which is when activated, allows to skip
download of the course content. Only syllabus is parsed.
- Add support for `reflect` and `mcqReflect` question types in quizzes.
- Courses that encountered an error while parsing syllabus will be listed
in the end of the program execution, after all courses have been
processed (hopefully, downloaded). This helps skip vast output and easily
see which courses need user's attention, e.g. enrollment, session
switching or just patience until the course start date.
Bugfixes:
- Locked programming assignments in syllabus used to crash coursera-dl.
Now the script goes on parsing syllabus and skips locked assignments.

ungraded quizzes (#490)
- Added option `--cache-syllabus` to avoid downloading course syllabus on
every run (this option is rather for developers)
Bugfixes:
- Locked lectures are also requested from server now, which allows to
download some programming assignments that were not downloaded before (#555)
Deletions:
- Support for old-style courses has been removed (Coursera discontinued old courses:
http://coursera.tumblr.com/post/145882467032/courseras-transition-to-a-new-technology-platform)
- `--ignore-http-errors` option has been removed and the default behavior
