File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: callistocms-1.0

Notes:
After an internminable duration of time, during which Callisto
development languished, I've finally bitten the bullet and 
released 1.0 of Callisto.  I was tired of sticking around with 
release candidates that were, for all intents and purposes, 
official releases, I decided to call a spade a spade and release 
1.0.

This release fixes a few show-stopper bugs that were fixed in 
CVS, improves the installation process significantly, and adds 
FTP-only deployment (which in itself simplifies installation).  
There are still many changes yet to come in the deployment 
area, but those are primarily in the realm of intelligent-agent 
deployment across a parallel server farm.  If you only need to 
deploy to a single server with FTP, what is in there now should 
suffice perfectly.

Other notable changes to this release is the addition of image 
support in documents.  You can insert an image just like you 
would a paragraph or a list.  There are some neat properties of 
this feature, most notably being the automatic thumbnail 
preview when choosing an image.  This is another area that will 
be seeing some improvements over the next few weeks, with the
 addition of file-browsing for inserting images and links and 
uploading of files (images, PDFs, etc) coming soon.

Though this is a 1.0, I have plenty planned and I hope to follow 
the Open Source philosophy of "Release Early, Release Often".
