Release Notes

As a result of testing with cDNA and PCR gels, the algorithm has been expanded to give better support for those types of gels while not affecting the ability to process production type gels.  Most notably, the generic spacing search has been modify to first only look for lane spacing, and not marker spacing.  This improved results when there are few markers and when not all the lanes are loaded.  Overall the code has also been better commented.  Doxygen documentation is included.
