Gnome-schedule 2.0.0 released

- Gnome-schedule 2.0.0 -

Gnome-schedule is a graphical user interface that leverages the power
of crontab (vixie-cron, dcron) and at to manage your crontab file and
provide an easy way to schedule tasks on your computer. It supports
recurrent (periodical) tasks and tasks that happen only once in the
future. It is written in Python using pygtk, and has been developed,
tested and packaged for various Linux distributions.

This is a fresh release with a completely redone user interface,
cleaned up to be more simple and easier to use, we have implemented
many of the suggestions we have recieved for our previous versions and
hope that this is a positive change to gnome-schedule, a more complete
list is attached below.
