Tarbell 1.0.1 is out!

[David Eads]

Hey all, I released Tarbell 1.0.1 last night. Here's the rundown of what's new:

* Underscore prefixed sheets are now ignored (thanks Chris Amico) 

* TarbellSite.add_site_to_context() gets called during TarbellSite._copy_file() (Thanks Chris and Geoff Hing)
* We revived this Google Group (Thanks Heather Billings and Joe Germuska for pushing me on this)

* Code error in Javascript for loop in tutorial is fixed (Thanks Jenny Wilson)

* app.py now imports dateutil and datetime, required for the now-standard format_date filter (Thanks Jenny Wilson)

* `tarbell generate` now exits with a friendly message if no target directory specified (Thank Aaron Williams)

* app.preprocess_request is now called during `tarbell generate` (Thanks Chris)

* Project filenames may now include unicode characters such as ñ (Thanks Pierre Belon)

* Ubuntu and Fedora dependencies are now documented (thanks Pierre, thanks Edward Borasky)

* All default blueprints are part of the tarbell-project organization on Github (thanks Heather, thanks me) 

* Blueprints no longer track minor versions in their branch names in anticipation of dropping this "feature" by 1.1 (thanks me)

I'll be updating http://tarbell.io and Tweeting out an announcement from the official account tonight.

In the meantime, you can run `pip install -U tarbell` to get the latest version.

Going forward:

* On the immediate horizon (v1.0.2 ~ July): Some minor doc and code fixes, handling ssl.CertificateErrors due to Python 2.7.9 (NPR Visuals will thank us, we've had to roll back our Pythons because of this bug affecting the app-template), Flask Frozen integration (possible)

* On slightly longer horizon (v1.1 ~ August): Lots more recipes and examples in the docs, get away from using branches to specify version compatibility in blueprints, better error pages, Flask-Frozen integration if it doesn't land in 1.0.2

* Longer term (v1.2+ ~ fall and beyond): Tarbell admin gui, configuration refactoring, Authomatic for OAuth, integration with other publishing platforms like Github pages

And with your help, some of the longer term goals could be part of the 1.1 release, or we could get 1.1 out earlier in the summer. It's all negotiable, and I need your help to figure it out. 

David
