Replaced the blender.html file with a new readme.html The old file was very outdated, messy and included lots of excess information. The new one is more specific to Blender 2.5 and is more concise, to the point. Additionally this should mean we can avoid having a release_250.txt file in addition to this, to help clean up the install folder.

<p class="body">What to Expect:</p>
<p class="body"> • Big improvements - This is our most exciting version to date, already a significant improvement in many ways over 2.49</p>
