TypeR 1.0 released & website updated!

I have decided that we have come to a release date! September 6, 2012, is the official release date of TypeR 1.0, and the updated website that accompanies it.

TypeR 1.0 has a redesigned interface, showing all keyboard modifications at once. This means that if you could not tell what key to press to get a certain letter, your problem is solved! You can see what will be outputted in plain, shift, caps lock then shift, and ctrl+alt.
Additionally, pressing <esc> will clear your text. This is faster than <bksp>ing the whole thing!

On the site, you can now view release notes for each version of TypeR, and also use past versions (if you want to, for some reason). There's a link beneath the virtual keyboard. I also added the Languages page to the site.
Breadcrumbs are shown beneath the header on the page.

In truth, i wasn't planning to do this just yet; i wanted to give the site a bit more of a run-through. However, i accidentally uploaded the new files to the main site instead of the testing site. :P So i just decided to fix up a couple minor things and pretend i released it. It wouldn't affect too many people, as my userbase is very small. :(

Anyways, enjoy!
