Hello pydicom group,

Step 1 of the long-awaited pydicom v1.0 release is here.  A "release
candidate" v1.0.1rc1 has been posted to PyPi.

It can be installed using pip's --pre flag:

  pip install --pre pydicom

Please read the release notes [1] to see all the good things that are
available in this release.

*BEFORE INSTALLING*, note that:

   - this is a *backwards-incompatible version*
   - your old pydicom package will be replaced.  Existing code will break,
   if only because the package uses `import pydicom`, not `import dicom`
   - if you have code using v0.9.9 or less, please also `pip install dicom`
   which will keep old code running; the two packages can coexist
   - see the Transition Guide [2] to get more details


Thanks to the many many people who contributed to this release, and in
particular the main group of pydicom contributors who have put in many
hours in the last number of weeks to pull this release together.

We're hoping that users can install the release candidate and let us know
of any unexpected problems on the github issues list [3].

We will hold off the final release until the weekend, or longer if issues
need to be addressed, after which the official pydicom v1.0 will be
announced.
