Not yet. We'll bump the release to 2.0 when it's ready for production.

They're coming -- see https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/88

No, the 100ms roundtrip includes the HTTP request over our admittedly very unsophisticated WiFi network.

Hope this helps!

The fact that it's HTTP slows this down a bunch too. With a normal client you'd have the TCP connection already made.

Any reason you didn't go with the standard 1.0 is the first non-beta release?

[coffeemug]

Yes -- we had an internal versioning scheme that crossed 1.0 very early on. Having different internal and external versioning schemes went against our intuition of having an open development process, so we decided to bite the bullet and keep the version post 1.0. It isn't ideal, but it's done :)
