new 1.0 milestone

[pgte]

Main points to address for a 1.0 release:

Transport:

• The pluggable transport interface should conform to the net.connect(options) API, returning a duplex raw stream that emits, in top of the standard stream events, the connect, close, end and timeout events.
• Any connection should not be symmetrical any more — this was an initial mistake in the design. Specifically:
  • The master always initiates connections
  • The master disconnects from peers once it finds out it's no longer a master
• Use pipe-channels for channels and custom negotiation (allows to easily plug authentication). Consider following example of pouch-stream-multi-sync.

State machine:

• Define a more formal FSM that's easily definable and verifiable;
• Immutability: consider using Redux or something similar for state changes, making reasoning / rolling back to previous states easier.

Persistence:

• Make state persistence conform to a leveldown interface — make it more open and easier to plugin. This allows to use memdown as a backend, useful for tests;

Overall

• Less dependencies and custom abstractions.

Sounds very promising, in case some stuff could be helped with - I'd love to contribute
