Fluid 0.1 Release Delay

[Colin Clark]

Hi everyone,

We have decided to delay the Fluid 0.1 release by a few weeks. During 
our QA and review process, we came across a couple of blocker bugs 
related to recent drag and drop changes in the Reorderer. These issues 
are resolvable, but will take some time to fix.

The UX team has been amazingly helpful with identifying and refining 
solutions for this. While the delay is disappointing, it shows our 
commitment to quality; we will not ship code with issues that the UX 
team consider problematic.

At the heart of the issue is some missing affordances (or "interesting 
moments") during mouse-based interactions. This was a regression caused 
by recent necessary code changes. The latest design spec for the correct 
behaviour is available on our wiki at:

http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Lightbox+Design+Mockup

More details about the issues are available in the Fluid issues database:

http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-72
http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-70
http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-71

Many of us will be attending the upcoming JA-SIG Unconference in two 
weeks. To accommodate this priority, I'd like to set the new release 
date for November 21st, giving us time to fix these issues and perform a 
full QA cycle.

I apologize for the inconvenience that this delay may cause, and 
appreciate your patience. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Colin
