This release fixes a problem seen on Linux hosts with the previous version (1.0.0) whereby an exception is raised due to a block being invalid. This is because the file name for the block "beacon.php" should have been named "Beacon.php" in the directory app/code/community/Vendexo/TrackerBeacon/Block.

First release.
