File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 2.1.1

Notes:
2.1.1 (8/20/2007):
	Sean: Continuing our schedule of frequent releases, Pidgin 2.1.1
	is out. In it, we've addressed a lot of UI issues from our
	experimental new changes introduced in 2.1.0, and gave a lot of 
	attention to Yahoo! and Bonjour. Thanks to everyone who 
	contributed.

	Luke: We have reworked some parts of the conversation windows in
	response to user comments.  We did not quite reach 100 tickets
	closed this release, so a fair few will role over again.  Still,
	we are slowly but surely working our way through the reported bugs.
	Many thanks to everyone who has helped with tracking down the
	various issues, testing fixes, and getting patches in.

	Tim: Sean finally got me to fix some of the buddy list bugs with
	Yahoo! when in version 15 mode. So now we have some Yahoo! to
	MSN support, which is kind of nice. Looks like some others have
	been contributing to Yahoo! while I've been AWOL, so many thanks
	to them.
