Descent 0.1 released, only for testing

[Ary Manzana]

I don't know if someone downloaded the plugin. But if you did it before 
friday at 19:22 (GMT -3), please uninstall it (Help -> Software updates 
-> Manage configurations...) and reinstall it. This is because the 
workspace sometimes blocked because a build was requested but no builder 
was found (I removed the build functionality for now).
