State Alpha release
License GPL
Release Manager Clayton Parker

This release fixed a lot of bugs that were lingering around from the change into a Plone 2.1 compatible product.  All of the folder contents and default views now work properly.  The Ad Catalog has been upgraded to use the Plone CatalogTool as it's base.  A new property sheet has been added to set up what ad states show up in the banners / slots.

There are new icons for the tools and Ad Manager.  Also a new icon for Ads so it's easier to distinguish them from documents.  Thanks to Erik Goens for the icons.
