Thinking of A Release


So, I'm finding Myrddin is actually gotten to the point that I'm finding it
useful on a day to day basis, and things often work. I think it's time to
think of a preview release.

I think as soon as 5 things land, I'll be ready to put together a release:

	- Documentation:
		- The language docs are woefully out of date and incompete.
		- There is no easy to follow tutorial.

	- Iterators
		- This is the major language change that I'd like to get in,
		  since it will make a huge amount of code nicer.

	- HTTP
		- Most of the world speaks over HTTP, so I figure at least
		  a rudimentary version needs to land.

	- TLS
		- Transport Layer Security. It's kind of important. I'm not
		  going to have time to implement it natively, so for now
		  I'll just wrap some C library. PolarSSL looks like an
		  option, based on a quick scan.

	- Threads
		- The first version is probably going to be very sparse,
		  but it should work on all supported platforms.

Thanks to the people who bounced ideas, even if you only talk on IRC.
