After an internal debate, we have come to the conclusion that there is not enough runway to get all the V1.0.0 items done in time. We are pretty close but we want to not have to rush the release and verification. V1.0.0 contains a number of very complex changes that simply need more to verify. The provisional new release date is April 25th (viva a revolução!)
Thanks for the update @moo1337 take your time. Looking forward for this release, very excited to see the progress on new stake difficulty algorithm here: https://github.com/decred/dcrd/issues/584 @davecgh making really interesting research.
I really appreciate that we have a community that understands that estimates aren't always perfect and the need to get things right the first time with some of this stuff. So thanks for the understanding
You guys have been working your asses off for quite some time now. A few more days to see history made is worth it.
