iTravel is dead. Long live WikiSherpa!

The latest iteration of the app comes with that most fundamental of changes, a new name. Why? Well, largely due to a trademark dispute, which frankly I think was bogus, but fighting it didn't seem worth the time and money that would be required. And I think the new name might be better. Welcome to WikiSherpa!

Since bandwidth has gotten cheaper over the last couple of years, I've also restructured the app so that you can bulk-download all of Wikitravel (and its associated Wikipedia pages) even from the free version. The only difference between the free version (WikiSherpa) and the paid version (WikiSherpa+) is that the latter is (and always will be) entirely ad-free.

Hope you like the changes, and have fun out there!
