We have been busy bees fixing the reported issues, improving the documentation and the global developer experience. And we felt that a second candidate release was in order due to some of the changes we made.

Please, update your applications as soon as possible and, if you encounter any issues, report them quickly so that we can fix them before the Final.

We plan to release 1.0.0.Final in just a few days on Monday 25th.

What’s new? Well, it’s mostly bugfixes and documentation improvements all over the place. Nothing really major here. You can get the full changelog of 1.0.0.CR2 on GitHub.
