This release features @clean trees, one of the most important developments in Leo's history.

Leo is a PIM, an IDE and an outliner.

The highlights of Leo 5.1
--------------------------

@clean nodes create external files without sentinel comments, yet Leo can
update @clean trees from changes made to the corresponding external files,
something long thought impossible. @clean trees preserve clone links and
user attributes (uA's). Reading @clean trees is faster than reading @auto
or @shadow trees.
    
The Mulder/Ream algorithm updates @clean trees from changes made in the
corresponding external files. This is a completely rewritten and much
simpler version of Bernhard Mulder's original @shadow update algorithm.

Some more highlights:
 
* A new web page, http://leoeditor.com/load-leo.html, displays .leo files
  in the browser.
  
* Added command history to Leo's minibuffer.

* A new IdleTime class greatly simplifies idle-time handling.

* Leo now honors @language inside @doc parts

* @data nodes can be composed of their descendant nodes.

* @int qt-cursor-width = 5 is great for geriatric eyes.

* @shadow is now deprecated. @clean is superior to @shadow in all respects.
Leo will support all flavors of @auto indefinitely.
