edit 7.x-1.0-beta1

The focus of this release was to bring all the improvements that have been made in Drupal 8 core's Edit module to the Drupal 7 backport.

So, when upgrading, be aware that there are some pretty big changes:

• Create.js is gone.
• Edit now also depends on the CTools and Libraries API modules, in addition to the Entity module that it already depended on.
• Backbone and Underscore no longer ship as part of Edit; Edit now depends on Libraries API and you must install Backbone and Underscore as per the Libraries API customs.
• The Shared Space plugin no longer ships as part of Edit; Edit now asks you to create a custom build of CKEditor (for instructions, see the README).
• Edit does extensive requirements checking to help you get set up: see the Status Report.
• Views support — which was fragile at best — has been moved into its own project: Edit Views — this is a very, very complex problem to solve.
• Lots of stability improvements: network timeouts/server errors are handled, if multiple instances of the same entity exist on the same page, they'll be updated live, and so on :)

Please provide useful bug reports/support requests, so we can get this module to a 1.0 release ASAP!
