Finally I got some time to finish all the planned features of SnakeYAML 1.0. Everything I find useful in the existing YAML libraries is implemented.
Special thanks to

• JvYaml. Even though nothing is left it gave a good starting point and I did not have to start from scratch and it was possible to overwrite the code component by component
• YamlBeans for ideas how to implement JavaBeans support.
  

Version 1.0rc1 is released and if there would be no issues found the final 1.0 will be released soon.

The critics is welcome!!!
