I am now inclined to package the latest svn which has Brian's Windows fixes and the 1.0.0 doc updates and call it rc2. I'll do one final test on sage.math to ensure we didn't crack anything major.
We'll hand to Michael and William to torture test in Sage, but I think we'll put rc2 on the website for early birds. I think it is pretty solid. Any objections to me doing that?
