We will try to keep you informed. ETA for 1.0 itself is uncertain because
Industry Canada is going to review before it gets called 1.0. What they
will be reviewing is beta 2 and we all want only the most critical fixes
applied between beta 2 and 1.0 so that their review isn't instantly
obsolete.
So, the best we can say is that beta 2 will be very stable wrt version
1.0. We will probably start work on 1.1 and issue alphas on that before
1.0 is officially released. Since we have no idea how long the review
will take, I would not wait for 1.0. These are all external conditions
that we have very little control over.
