v1.0 RC - Clown Town

When we released SolidStart Beta it was a celebration of all the libraries and frameworks that inspired us. There have been so many other frameworks exploring this space alongside us. We have learned so much from them. A year and a half later, I'd like to think that in turn we've influenced them as well.

This release is dedicated to all those who have contributed to getting us here. Everyone who tested builds, reported issues, made PRs (even the ones we didn't merge). We wouldn't have made it to this point without all of them. This release is for them so that the next can be for all of you. We've reached a release candidate for 1.0!

We've learned a lot along the way. The name of this release is a throwback to an early moment in the project's history that had a profound and important impact on how we operate. While I don't wish to rehash, I will say it changed the way we looked at our work in open source and challenged each of us to decide what it meant for us publically and personally.

So today with our goals in sight, we lay this one to rest, and thank everyone who has ever contributed to the project. Not everyone who started on this road with us is still with us. That is the life of volunteering and open source. But you have our (and my) thanks:

We'd also like to thank those that have invested financially with us as you are a big part of making this release happen. Especially Netlify, Google Chrome, JetBrains, Builder.io, Northlabs, Stytch, Breek, Monogram, csel.co.nk, divRIOTS, Vercel, Bumi, Clearspend, OSLabs and 402.

There are still a few more things to get in line for the 1.0 release. We are still expecting some bugs, and the official SolidJS docs for SolidStart are still under construction. But we are well on our way. I look forward to pushing this across the finish line in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your support and encouragement.
