v1.0.0 alpha release

[ryankurte]

🎉🎊🥳

See #177 for progress on blocking issues

[luojia65]

Should we deal with all design pattern issues and pull requests before a probable 1.0 release? After 1.0, they would be no longer changed. May discuss on each of them and close or accept all possible designs.

[ryankurte]

Ideally yep, see #177 for the list, mostly predicated on coming to a consensus as to #172 (and #98) as you mentioned in the chat.

However, I don't think this necessarily needs to block an alpha release, and there's a balance to be struct somewhere between avoiding breaking releases while not blocking e-h improvements indefinitely :-/

[luojia65]

Ohh yes, do not need to block alpha here. Just block before the final 1.0.0 :)

[Disasm]

I think that the only thing that should block v1.0.0 is rust-embedded/wg#435. We can add all the other changes after this release. embedded-hal project is already moving extremely slow, so it's better not to block it for one more reason. This async story began just recently and I do not expect it to end in the coming year.

Also I don't understand why we need v1.0.0-alpha-1 and not just v1.0.0. We can use v1.0.0 and v1.0.1 instead if we expect any non-breaking changes soon.

[luojia65]

Yes, I agree. There should be no more blocks here

The idea is to shake out some kinks before doing the final release. Hopefully there're no breaking changing but at the moment it's hard to say since its non-trivial to test with the required level of scrutiny without having a crate on crates.io since you get all kinds of versioning funnyness when using traits from an unreleased crate in other crates. I could even see folks follow suit by releasing alpha versions of adapted crates so we could properly level up the whole ecosystem at once.

Need to figure out what to do about CHANGELOG.md

[ryankurte]

turns out i can't approve this because it's my pr, but, lgtm~!
