I agree that it's beneficial to get a release of the core framework
done quickly, to give others using Felix a stable base to work on. I
have no problems whatsoever calling it 1.0 (it sure is stable and
proven enough to be called at least that), and I don't have an
outspoken opinion about releasing it as a tarball or installer.
After this release, we can discuss how to release individual
subprojects. I personally would like to make an official release of
the dependency manager, and I'm sure there are other committers that
would like to do releases too.
Greetings, Marcel
