Version 0.9.1 API Changes

Version 0.9.1 of Nimbus was released on December 5, 2011.

This minor version removed ASI and JSONKit from Nimbus as strict dependencies. It is now easier to use other networking features for the networked image view. This release adds the new pagingscrollview feature which the photos feature now uses as a dependency. The processors feature has been renamed to operations and greatly simplified to only provide special-case implementations of operations.
