+
+Gun `1.0.0-rc.1` has been released!
+
+Gun is an HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and Websocket client
+for Erlang/OTP.
+
+Gun provides an asynchronous interface and will
+keep the connection open to the server, reconnecting
+as necessary.
+
+Gun has existed for many years as the test client
+for Cowboy and is now mature enough to receive a
+proper version. Gun is battle tested by customers
+and other users but is not the most well tested
+client there is.
+
+This release candidate differs from previous tags
+in the way Websocket-related messages are handled:
+the `gun_ws_upgrade` message is now `gun_upgrade`,
+and the `gun_ws` message has an extra element. The
+dependency on Ranch has also been removed. In
+addition some undocumented features have been
+modified; they will be documented in future
+releases.
+
+I have given the Cowboy treatment to the Gun manual:
+a separate page per function call with all kind
+of useful information, including examples. Since
+Gun provides an asynchronous interface, each message
+also has a separate manual page. Check it out:
+https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/1.0/manual/
+
+Gun 1.0 will be released once customers projects
+are updated and I confirm everything works as intended.
+
+You can donate to this project via

+These funds are used to pay for additional servers for
+testing. A new server was added last month and allows
+me to test with additional Linux distributions Alpine,
+CentOS and Debian. Thanks in advance!
+
+As usual, feedback is appreciated, and issues or
+questions should be sent via Github tickets. Thanks!
