I'm very new to Dovecot - still testing it - and planing to convert in the futire. I see a lot of rapid development here which I like. But I'm wondering if there is any kind of schedule for blessing 1.0 as official - or - what the custom is for a stable release. Just trying to think about when to jump in. I'm fairly brave, but the feature I need we just added today....
