Expect one or two more (quick) betas before it's 1.0.

Changes:

• New logo, thanks to Andy at OpenGeo :)
• Servlet will look in WEB-INF/classes for geowebcache.xml by default. I haven't tested this on Windows, sorry. Please report back, you can specify the absolute URL in geowebcache-servlet.xml in the mean time.
• Minor tweaks to make things go faster, WMS parameters in particular
• <layer-name> has been changed to <name> throughout, please update your configuration
• Some JSON bugs have been fixed

New features:

I've updated the default geowebcache.xml file to showcase new features, such as

• Arbitrary projections / grids
• How to create aliases with different styles, even though there's only one layer on the backend
• You can have multiple WMS backends for a single layer (not really a new feature)

Seed requests now take two additional parameters,

• <type>: seed" (default) or "reseed", the difference is that the latter does not check the cache first. "truncate" will be implemented soon
• <threadCount>: number of threads, out of a pool of max 32, working on the seeding in parallel. 4 is a good number if your WMS server has two CPUs

There are a few things about the REST interface that aren't quite as far along as I had hoped. Namely I didn't catch that we sidestepped some of RESTlets routing features, and there is currently no other way of stopping seeding threads than to stop the servlet. This stuff will come fairly soon, but probably after 1.0. The same appears to be true for the JavaScript user interface, which has turned out to be slightly more complicated than we anticipated.

Feedback is always very welcome :)
