I feel that the internals of vpim are fairly stable, so I've started a
push to develop higher-level APIs.

Last release was mostly work on the Vcard maker.

This release I've mostly worked on APIs to access properties of
iCalendar components. I've designed APIs to access almost all the
component properties defined in RFC2445, and implemented more than half
the new APIs of Vevent, Vtodo, and Vjournal.

I also have plans to do similar high-level APIs for vCard, and to create
Maker classes for iCalendar components and recurrence rules. The work
goes fast, but there is lots to do.

I've also moved to using the svn revision number, it makes it easier to
find the source for a particular release without having to do any
branching.

Also, this release should have a better gem package.
