[Box Backup] Planning to release 1.0

Hi all,

I would like to declare that the next release will be numbered 1.0. Now that 
I'm using Box Backup myself on my laptop, I'm more confident about its 
stability, and my ability to support it. And it would hopefully help to boost 
adoption if we declare that stability to the world.

Would anyone object to this?

I know that some important features are still missing, such as snapshots and 
backups to Amazon S3, but these still require major work to complete, and I 
don't feel the need to delay the 1.0 release for years while I find time here 
and there to implement them.

The release should hopefully happen in the next few weeks, as soon as I get all 
tests passing on Windows, NetBSD and OpenBSD (and maybe SmartOS). Thanks to 
James O'Gorman once again for providing the virtual machines for testing Box on 
different platforms!

Cheers, Chris.
