[Vimperator] ANNOUNCEMENT: Vimperator 0.5 released

[Thomas Svensen]

Hi,

I have really been looking forward to this new version, but now I have
run into this silly problem: I can't find the download anywhere :-(

 1. vimperator.mozdev.org doesn't have any links to an XPI file
 2. Searching for "vimperator" on addons.mozilla.org returns no results
 3. Doing "Find Update" on my existing 0.4.1 says "No updates were
found"

I must be missing something obvious, but either of these three should be
a viable path, shouldn't it?

Anyway, thank you for a really cool addon! I love it and install it
everywhere I have Firefox.
