Release 1.0

[s.frings]

Dear Lejos Developers,
I think its time to publish a final release 1.0. Please remove all classes that are unusable (if there are any) and then release the remaining parts.

I have the impression that you try to make a 100% error-free and clean product. But the simple truth is, that software is never 100%.

Lejos is in a fairly good state since years, development progress is stalled and the hardware Platforms will not be available anymore soon.

With the version number 1.0 you indicate that the product is in a useable state and recommended to be used.

I completely agree with s.frings.
Almost a year ago Brian Bagnall (which you all know from his books, and from all the work that he has done for leJos) told me that the 1.0 version would have been released and that he would publish his new book.

quote from his e-mail:

28/06/2012
The book is pushed back slightly to sometime in August. It will contain code for the latest edition of leJOS NXT. When I submitted the book in 2011 it seemed possible we would have 1.0 released by now, but that's not the case so the description will be updated to reflect that soon.

Unfortunately Brian bagnall never published his new book, and the 1.0 version still isn't here.

I think leJos is really a great project and that it is stable enough to release the 1.0 version.
I hope one of you , the leJos developers, will reply to this post.

Gratz, Stone
