I know i'm going to be ignored on this, but I feel sufficiently strongly
about it that I really think it needs to be said.

There have been a massive number of changes to trunk since the last
pre-release. The version 1.0 release is likely (we all hope!) to be picked
up by the press and tried and tested by many who have not used it. Although
it's possible that nothing is broken, I think it is really, really dangerous
to release this code as version 1.0 without doing pre-releases which are
tested by many people first.

I propose that Wednesday's planned release date be changed to a pre-release.
I believe that Europe pretty much shuts down for a number of weeks at the
end of the year. That would allow a month or so of testing and critical-bug
fixing (only!), followed by at least one more pre-release with those bugs
fixed, so that the actual 1.0 release in mid-January is much more properly
field-tested. I understand the desire to meet the originally-publicized
schedule, but this is the reputation of qooxdoo on the line. A 1.0 release
is not the time to rush out a release that has had substantial change and
not a lot of external testing.
