That ship done sailed already today... many Contrib libs hit 1.0.0 (or
1.0.x) and most of the rest will follow suit in the next several days I
expect!

I certainly plan to bump tools.cli and, with Fogus' help, core.cache and
core.memoize to 1.0.0. java.jdbc will likely remain at 0.7.11 since its
"1.0.0" was really seancorfield/next.jdbc.
