Release 1.0

[oxinabox]

Noone wants to change FowardDIff.
It is stable.
Even if one does want to change ForwardDiff, noone wants to change the API in a breaking way.

I'd say we do #419 and #463, which I don't think are actually breaking changes, but can be considered breaking changes, and we can call that v1.0. Then, once it's v1.0, I'd say we can document the Dual number interface, #379 because I'd hope no one would ever change that.

I'd like to get @KristofferC and @jrevels 's input though. But I think it's pretty safe to say, ForwardDiff works and if you want a very different AD then make a new package.

I agree with those 2 PRs.

Please don't make a non-breaking 1.0.0 release.

[oxinabox]

Its an unfortunate concisquence of julia's semver extension that 1.0.0 is always considered breaking.
So if one realises a package that is pre-1.0.0 is actually stable one has to delcare a breaking release to indicated that there will not be many breaking releases in the future.

But in this case I am kind of happy to have it considered breaking because #463 is borderline breaking.
Probabably fine for most uses, but I do know that sometimes people do construct duals directly, for better or worse.

Something holding this?

[KristofferC]

If someone wants to do this they need to make a corresponding change to the registry that allows ForwardDiff 1.0 for those packages that are currently claiming compatibility with ForwardDiff 0.10.
