Greeting everyone!

I hope everyone had a great 2009.  I have just published version 1.0.0 beta
1 to bzr on LaunchPad.  It has not been published to the PPA yet, but that
will happen soon.  Thank you to everyone for helping work on OpenShot this
past year.  We have made a ton of progress, and we have finally reached
version 1.0.

Please let me know if you find any issues as soon as possible. =)

Here is the full change list:
-----------------------------------------
Bumping version to 1.0.0 beta 1

Fixed the lock.py file to handle invalid lock files,
and not break if a non-integer is in the file

When opening a project, it now prompts to the user
if any resource files are missing

Fixed the Render() method to correctly clear all 4 canvases.
This was required to change themes correctly.

Changed the time format to display: hh:mm:ss:frame

Transition snapping: Transitions now snap to the nearest
clip or the play-head

Updated the translation strings in the POT file

Added a new profile: hdv_720_24p

Added 2 new themes:
simple - with smaller icons for small screens
blue_flat - a flat blue theme, with no glass or gloss
Also, added theme thumbnails to the preferences window

Improved Title Editor to show different titles for
4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios (so they don't get squished)

Replaced all titles in OpenShot with 29 new title
templates (both in 4:3 and 16:9) ratios

Added 28 new transitions.  All have been created from scratch,
using a combination of Gimp, Inkscape, and Blender.

Adding Effects from the clip properties window has been
fixed to correctly add audio filters.

Clip property window has been fixed to correctly change the IN
and OUT values, without getting stuck (as before)

Clip property window would occasionally crash due to a SDL
and gtk threading issue.  This has been fixed, and should never
crash again!!!  The video thread now closes the clip property
window when it's done doing it's thing... and thus no more
crashes.

The main window has been fixed to correctly recognize the
maximized state, and correctly resize the window and vertical
panes.  The saving and restoring of window state feels much improved.

Removed the camera icon from the main window, changed some icons,
and trying to clean up the UI just a bit.  Also, I removed the
"Open Project" toolbar icon, and replaced it with a "New Project"
button.  Trying to remove the confusion of "Opening a project" vs
"Importing files".

Tweaked the setup.py file to include the new 4:3 and 16:9 titles.

Improved the MAN page documentation

Thanks,
