edit 7.x-1.0-rc2

RC2! Almost at 1.0! There are (again) zero known bugs!

When you upgrade from a previous version, you must clear your theme registry (clearing all caches will also clear the theme registry). This is for the work-around that RC2 introduces to not require themes to have a wrapper for the content region (which includes the popular base themes Omega & Zen). Other notable improvements include better Libraries integration (which was listed as a todo in RC1), in-place editor plugins that are much more similar to the ones in Drupal 8 (which was another todo) and improved front-end performance by using client-side caching of certain metadata (backported from Drupal 8).

Please test RC2 thoroughly, the next release is probably going to be the 1.0 final!

Edit for Drupal 7 version 1.0 will only support the Node entity type, and comes with support for in-place editing of nodes rendered inside Panels pages.

Things that still need to be done before the 1.0:
