On the way toward PrestaShop v1.1 final

We have decided to alter our naming scheme for our versions. From now on, pre-stable releases will be called "beta" releases and no longer "release candidates/RCs". Either way, you should not be using these versions for live shops.

We are counting on your help as we finalize this version 1.1 in order to quickly make it available to the general public!
