slrn version 1.0 released

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the release of version 1.0 of the slrn
newsreader.  Detailed information about the newsreader is available
from <http://www.slrn.org>.

The slrn source code may be obtained from

  <http://www.jedsoft.org/slrn/download/>
  <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7768>

While not as big of an event as the ending of the Mayan calendar or
the Winter solstice, today marks a major event for the slrn project.
As many of you know, this release is long overdue.  But the main
reason that I wanted to put out 1.0 is that I still see a number of
people using older, less reliable versions of the newsreader.  As such I
encourage all slrn users to upgrade to the new version so that we can
be on the same page.

The newsreader would not have become what it has without the support
of those that have helped in one way or another with the project.
While some them may no longer be active on Usenet, I would like to take
the opportunity to publically acknowledge a small fraction of them.
These include:

  Michael Elkins
  Matthias Friedrich
  David Gerard
  Howard Goldstein
  Andrew Greer
  Sven Guckes
  Jan Hlavacek
  Jay Maynard
  J.B. Nicholson-Owens
  Mark Olesen
  Peter J Ross
  Felix Schueller
  Andrew Strong
  Rudy Taraschi
  Thomas Wiegner
  Lloyd Zusman

I am especially grateful to Thomas Schultz for his role as the lead
developer for the 7 years that I was away from the project.

Thank you.
--John
