Hi everyone,

๐ŸŽ‰ LWS v1.0.0 is released!ย ๐Ÿ“– Release notes ยท Installation and upgrades
Distributed inference APIs for Kubernetes, with LeaderWorkerSet and DisaggregatedSet.

We're happy to share this milestone with everyone who has helped LWS grow.

๐Ÿš€ Here's what's new:
โ€ข ๐Ÿ”„ Fractional rollout window: DisaggregatedSet roles advance proportionally, making better use of rollout budgets.
โ€ข ๐Ÿ“ˆ Scaling during rollouts: DisaggregatedSet scale-up continues during updates, with opt-in scale-down.
โ€ข ๐Ÿงฉ Independently scalable sub-roles: Separate scaling and routing pools within a DisaggregatedSet role.
โ€ข ๐Ÿค Native gang scheduling reliability: Fixes for group recreation and resizing; still alpha and opt-in.
โ€ข ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Bounded group recovery: Restart limits and backoff bound repeated group recreations.
โ€ข โšก Parallel Pod termination: Opt in to terminating leaders and workers together; sequential remains the default.
โ€ข โœ… Stable configuration API: Controller configuration graduates to v1; v1alpha1 remains supported but deprecated.

๐Ÿ“Œ Upgrading? Read the Urgent Upgrade Notes for default changes and migration requirements, and follow the upgrade guide.

๐Ÿ™ A heartfelt thank you to our contributors and users for helping LWS reach 1.0!
