ESLint 0.5.1 released

We just pushed ESLint 0.5.1, which is a small release to fix some important bugs discovered in 0.5.0.

Deprecation Notices

• With this release, we are deprecating the JSON format for .eslintignore in favor of a plain-text format. The change was made in a backwards-compatible way, but JSON support will be removed in the future, so you should start converting your .eslintignore. See #761.
