Changes to version 2.1.1 (2006-03-05)
--------------------------------------

  * Created diffs, added link[rel=Appendix] element for them.
  * Created ChangeLog from diffs, added link[rel=Appendix] element for it.
  * Files moved to dom/ subdirectory, established server-side redirection.
  * Markup:
    - Fixed Dublin Core metadata and copyright information.
    - Test case is HTML 4.01 Strict now.
  * Moved reusable script code to external resource (hoverMe-3.0.js).
  * Use isMethod() and isMethodType() instead of plain typeof.
  * ImageData():
    - Use ImageData.ImagePrototype() (default: Image; fallback: Object)
  * Changed JSdoc style.
  * Optimized for-loops and property accesses.
  * Allow empty URI references.
  * Images() constructor and prototype
  * preloadImages() method
  * hoverMe():
    - Backwards-compatible change of argument order to allow for optional
      image collection object reference (default: hoverMe.images) and
      optional relatedTarget check switch (default: true)
    - Added relatedTarget checks (thanks to: Yann-Erwan 'Yep' Perio
      et al. for pointing out the issue; Peter-Paul Koch, author of
      QuirksMode.org, for the approach)
    - Added FireBug support (requires printfire(), see debug.js);
      thanks to Joe Hewitt for this great Firefox extension.
