Please pull this release. Or have someone from the group pull/remove the release. There is no sane reason to race to 1.0.0. With alpha and beta you can gather a lot of feedback, refine code and api etc. before you release a 1.0.0. With 1.0.0 BC breaks are not allowed anymore so in case you run into a heavy issue tomorrow, you would need to fork the package already if it requires a BC break. Cheerio, Till
