OK. I'm going to ask that people keep hands off EFL for the next few days
unless ABSOLUTELY needed. I want to get 1.0 out this weekend (I was sick end of
last week). this means only touch things if absolutely needed. I will be making
stable 1.0 branches in svn that will get bugfix updates only. trunk will become
1.1 development for all EFL libs (as has been discussed before that are going
1.0). the release timeframes for these will vary from lib to lib - as features
go in, it matures and settles a 1.1 will come out. they will not be
synchronised like this 1.0 release.

as of 1.0 we have to keep the changelogs updated properly. any bugs fixed in
trunk should also have the bugfix applies to the 1.0 stable branch so we can
release bugfix releases easily and quickly.

some libraries (like embryo) i don't ever see having a 1.1. it's stable and not
doing anything. it will get bugfixes at most i imagine.

i also know that several efl libraries have a long list of pending patches post
1.0 - i know these will all race into svn trunk after 1.0 and things may be a
bit chaotic there for a few weeks. anyone relying on trunk should know that. i
also expect a fairly quick 1.0 -> 1.1 release cycle timeframe, so don't assume
that there will be years before a 1.1 :) it may happen in the space of months
or even weeks. as some point each library in trunk when readying for 1.1 or
1.2 etc. will go into a stabilization phase, then a freeze phase, then a
release. if it depends on new features from other trunk development, it will
have to wait for its dependencies to be released FIRST. we will have to
maintain strict version checking at compile time (i'm tempted to also add it to
runtime in the library init calls just in case).

anyway - this weekend is it, so do whatever minor cleaning of docs or readmes
or whatever, but prepare for 1.0 of EFL. this is the time to get the website in
order for the 1.0 libs.
