Version 1.0.0

First Stable Release!

Seeing as how most features are working & stabilized, I figured I should cut an official release.

Features since untagged development 0.0.x versions:

• Fixes for supporting longer hex ciphertext strings (tries to do block decoding for > 64 bit blocks). (This also allowed for decryption support for RealVNC)
• Long password decryption tested against RealVNC Enterprise Edition,
  version: E4.5.3 (r39012) 64-bit (x64) unicode on Windows 7
• Support for reading input from Windows Registry using _winreg!
• Added Travis.CI testing
• Added unit tests
