[jbosstools-dev] RedDeer 1.0.0 released!

[Jiri Peterka]

It's here! We are proud to release RedDeer 1.0 - Eclipse testing 
framework which has been developed for over 3 years and we believe it 
has reached its production maturity with this version [1].

We started this project with simple idea of having stable and usable 
framework for functional testing of Eclipse-based JBoss Tools. In those 
years RedDeer grew beyond basic SWT widget support and brought support 
for other eclipse parts, frameworks and much more [2].

This specific version was mainly focused on bug fixing and cleanup but 
you can also find multiple  additional enhancements. In total about 160 
issues were resolved since previous version 0.8.0. For more details 
check the release notes [3]. For some initial idea you can also check 
our RedDeer screencasts on Youtube [4] or follow on Twitter [5].

For the future, API compatibility will be kept at maximum level for all 
1.x versions. All new experimental features that require breaking 
compatibility will be developed on 2.x branch. From the project 
perspective, it's time to migrate RedDeer project under Eclipse 
foundation umbrella.

One last thing. Although RedDeer was and always will be collective 
effort, each project should have some front-man (project leader), from 
now on it will be Rasto Wagner. Rasto was among top RedDeer commiters 
for years and proved himself to be the right person to manage this 
project for the future. Congrats Rasto!

Kudos to all contributors and thanks to all users and supporters,
