Hey!

We, the Akka committers, are very proud to announce the release of Akka 1.0-RC1, what we hope to become Akka 1.0.Final. 
This release branch is frozen in terms of features, we will only fix bugs until we release the 1.0 final in some weeks. Please bang on it. 

It is all thanks to a fantastic team [http://doc.akkasource.org/team] and user community. Thank you all for your time, hard work and great contributions.

The migration guides are available here: [http://doc.akkasource.org/migration-guides].

The full release notes can be seen here: [http://doc.akkasource.org/release-notes].

77 tickets have been handled since the release of 1.0-MILESTONE1, and they can be seen here: 
[Milestone2 + 1.0-RC1]

NOTE: Akka is now splitted into two repositories and distributions: 
* Akka Core
* Akka Modules

Download Akka Core it here: [http://github.com/jboner/akka/downloads].
Download Akka Modules here: [https://github.com/jboner/akka-modules/downloads]

Updated Maven repository here: [http://www.scalablesolutions.se/akka/repository/].

Here's the documentation: [http://doc.akkasource.org]

Here's the highlights on what's happened since 1.0-MILESTONE1!

- Update to Scala 2.8.1
- More lightweight core with 'akka-actor', 'akka-stm', 'akka-typed-actor' and 'akka-remote' in different modules
- package changed to "akka." instead of "se.scalablesolutions."
- Brand new, sparkling and much better Transactor implementation
- Per-session Remote Actors
- Secure cookie handshake for Remote Actors
- Untrusted mode for Remote Actors to use with untrusted clients
- onComplete callbacks on Future
- Riak, Memcached, Membase & SimpleDB support
- Improvements to Akka FSM
- Improvements to Akka Camel
- Improved performance
- Improved docs
- Tons of tweaks and bugfixes

PS. Don't forget to fill out our user survey, help building Akka and you don't even have to code! :-)

Sorry for the delay, I have now banged pretty hard on 1.0-RC1 for
standard actors with our main project. It is nice and solid.

I won't get a chance to bang on it with our other projects until the
new year, but all looks great!

Cheers,
