The most recent release was

1.0.0a9

. I'd like automations to start using a valid semver so that it can start leaning on the release-please based actions that we've rolled out to some other projects. Any reason we can't go ahead and just cut the first stable

1.0.0

for this project, or is there a strong reason to continue using a pre-release semver for a while?

please go ahead, no blocking reasons
