First beta of version 1.0 released

[sagebind]

Hello friends! I am pleased to announce that the first beta release of Isahc 1.0, 1.0.0-beta.1, has been made available! There are a couple of breaking changes from the 0.9 series, but nothing incredibly major. This is largely because Isahc has been relatively stable for some time now, so it is high time for a 1.0 release!

This is the first beta for 1.0 and I suggest you give it a try; any feedback you have for the breaking changes would be much appreciated. If all goes well, this will be the only beta version and the full release will be published before the end of the year.

I will be writing a long-form blog post that talks about Isahc's history and journey so far, as well as going into more depth on the 1.0 release. This article will be ready before 1.0 is published, but isn't quite ready at the moment.
