Summary of Changes

What's new in this version:

• custom server support (look in the Settings App) PLEASE TEST THIS! If you have, or know of, a non-Mozilla weave server, please verify that it works.
• the user's node (cluster) is updated before every sync, to avoid issues with migration
• user is only ever forcibly signed out under extremely unusual circumstances. in almost all cases, (wrong cluster, authentication failure, decryption failure), the user is allowed to continue using the local data, they just cannot sync.
• automatic refresh has been added on iOS 4 when the app has been suspended for more than 5 minutes
• the version number of the app is displayed in the Firefox Home pane of the Settings App.
• the current locale is sent with the registration email, so we can send localized help emails.
• significantly cleaned up and improved network error handling code.
