File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 0.5.1

Notes:
[Re-released 0.5 as 0.5.1 with minor (internal) changes due to download problems with previous release.]

Restructured packages, offering a small API and a mechanism to add custom plugins. A sample plug is included, but there are just a few lines to describe how to write plugins - the extension mechanism is still evolving.

Files are now released in three zips:
- runtime for entire package (including API and all plugs)
- source and javadoc for entire package (including API and all plugs)
- API package with runtime, source and javadoc
