Dear friends,

I'm glad to announce the first beta releases of series 1.1.x and
2.0.x. These series share majority of a codebase, the only difference
is in graphical toolkit and library used to provide unique instance:
1.1.x uses GTK+ 2 and libunique, whereas 2.0.x uses GTK+ 3 and
GtkApplication (i.e. no dependency on libunique).

New releases bring a few bug fixes and many new features for users as
well as for maintainers of service integrations. More information is
available in release notes [1][2].
