New Features of Unity 1.1.0
======================
- the rooms/ directory and any jar files contained inside are
  automatically added to the classpath...jar files and class files
  placed in the rooms/ directory do not need to be added to the
  classpath when starting Unity
- added GUI Console
- config based authentication and the use of room "sentries" has been
  deprecated in favor of giving Room's more control over who and what
  level of access they would like to give...Rooms should now override
  the onRequestEntry method in the Room superclass to authenticate
  clients who would like access to the Room.
- added getRoom() to the Room API to retrieve an instance of another Room
  on the server.
- added getRoomNames() to the Room API to retrieve ID's for all rooms
  deployed to the server
- getClientList() and getClientListButClient() now return one time copies
  of the list of clients...the copy is not mutated by the server
- fixed a bug where messages placed in a client's queue just before calling
  gotoRoom() were ignored...see gotoRoom in javadoc
- rooms now report their deaths (at warn level)
- fixed a problem where all resources weren't being released by Rooms when
  they were killed with killRoom
- added UnityMessageRoom to the core for those who want substantial
  room functionality without writing java code
- fixed a problem with shutdown option sometimes not being received
correctly
