Hey Team,
The big ticket elements of 1.0 look to be in a pretty good state. Lots of
things left to tighten up, primarily docs and bug fixes, but, it seems wise for
a major release like this to first kick out a Beta[1]. The relevant section of
the Apache.org link:
Releases that are believed to be usable by testers and developers outside
the project, but perhaps not yet stable in terms of features or
functionality, are usually referred to as "beta" or "unstable".
This will enable us to will open up to the broader base of users that normally
don't build from source to help test and give us a couple weeks of feedback to
work with before we do a formal 1.0 release vote.
If no one has any objections, I will start an RC vote for it later this week.
