It's not _JUST_ a Slide release.  Slide is the most visible, but the
intention is to have a release of the code as it existed in Slide.
This is because a lot of other code does depend on it at an API level and I
am sure (as I am one of them) those people would like to have a released
version, even if it is just to have a downloadable jar somewhere.  I as a
consumer of the 1.0 release am pro-1.0 as I would like at least some of the
changes that you have made, but at this point have too many irons in the
fire to go back and change the API ;-)
