IMPORTANT: READ THIS RELEASE NOTICE! This release makes a minor change, but it is one that will effect all end-users. That is, QED no longer depends on AE as its one and only assertion framework. Instead any compliant framework can be used. Certainly most users will be happy to continue using AE, in which case simply add `require 'ae'` to your applique (e.g. in 'spec/applique/ae.rb') or add `-r ae` to the qed command line invocation to ensure demos continue running as before. In place of AE the _BRASS_ gem now provides basic assertion support. Any assertion framework that complies with the simple BRASS standards will work with QED. 

Changes: 

* No longer depend only on AE for assertion framework.
* Rename $assertion_counts to $ASSERTION_COUNTS.
* Complies with assertion standards set by BRASS project.
