ANNOUNCE: libpeas 0.7.1

[Steve Frécinaux <code istique net>]

Hi everybody,

I am very proud to announce today a new release of libpeas - the 
gobject-based plugin engine, used by totem, gedit, vinagre, eog and 
others - in its latest version 0.7.1.

libpeas is a gobject-based plugins engine, and is targetted at giving 
every application the chance to assume its own extensibility.

For this release I'd like to address a special thanks to Garett Regier, 
who did an awesome work for this release.
