We are still an the 'few weeks after rc' I guess :-) As far as I know
'we' found a number of more or less important issues which need to be
solved before releasing eXist1.0 [see bugtracker]. Solving these can
take quite some time because it is sometimes difficult to reproduce
the reported issues. Besides that, it is holiday season here in
europe, some of us are away.....

Hmmmm, when upgrading between eXist versions it is *always* a good
idea to perform a backup-and-restore, since we cannot guarantee that
the internal binary formats will not be changed....
