Looking forward to not writing anything for a while :-) I doubt it'll happen knowing how things go, but also really really happy with where the book is (and banging on those last revisions! :-) ). > > There are a few odds and ends that I'd still like to sort out in the > trunk, but overall I think we're in a pretty much ready for the switch > from 0.x to 1.x. +1. > > One major issue to be decided is whether we want to follow up with the > earlier intention of dropping deprecated functionality (like the > three-argument parse() method) before the 1.0 release. +1, I'd be fine with this. I'm a fan of following through on things that we say we're going to do if for no other good reason than we said we're going to do it. +1 to dropping the 3 arg parse method. > I think we > should do that and also make some other backwards-incompatible > cleanups while we're at it.

I should have time over the next month or so to complete these. > > Another thing to think about is whether we want to do a formal Apache > press release about Tika reaching 1.0 status. +1. I'd be happy to work with Jukka, as Nick suggested, to draft this, and then from there to work with Sally to make it happen. Thanks!
