+	to make building different front-ends easier. Ported the event logs to
+	Webkit, so users can style it to their liking. It also reduces the amount
+	of UI-porting that needs to be done between toolkits.
+
+
+0.2-beta1 (Sun Sep 5, 2010):
+
+	Hylke: Aside from the usual bug fixes and behind the scenes work I mainly
+	added features that increase productivity in the event logs. Not only does
+	it look a lot prettier, each entry in an event log now has a clickable link
+	for easy access to files. It refreshes automatically on new events as well.
+	The Nautilus plugin now	has the "Copy Web Link" context	menu item, which
+	makes sharing links a whole lot easier.
+
