I reverted a set of commits with changes for 1.0 from the working

When I'm developing, I can have several local branches for
various things, but "working" is the only one propagated to GitHub.
It is the one that devs or users who want to test upcoming changes
will use.
Dabo users should be on master if they want the stable stuff;
they shouldn't use working unless they are prepared for potential
breakage. I think that you should keep these breaking changes in
working so that they get better tested, and so we learn what we need
to better document.
I had an internal debate along these lines before deciding to do
this. It came down
to liking the split between saying "here are fixes and new things we
want to put in
an upcoming minor release, please test them" versus "here are changes
that will break
prior behavior, please make the needed changes on your end and test
them".
It seemed like the best of both worlds - allowing developers to track
the edge but
not necessarily bleed if they don't want to.
I wouldn't want, for example, people like John to avoid the working
branch because
too many things are broken all at once with no warning. After all, it
could be that
1.0 doesn't happen for longer than we hope, and we'll go through
several minor
releases before that.
However, I'm willing to sway on this. I do agree we want people using
and
understanding the changes early so they are more able to help the
users when we do
finally release 1.0.

Just make sure you update the website - I think it currently suggest
that "working " be setup.

Paul,
I thought you reversed the commits you made to the clone? I just ran
the update and sure enough the it included your changes?
