Despite some minor features missing, and very little documentation being available, Caraway is ready for a thrashing in the real world. It won't change much now until the code has been used extensively and the direction for 2.0 takes shape.
There are some minor additions like support for thread-bound scope, support for scope and ownership models in XML configuration etc. that will inevitably find their way into the 1.0 version, however these changes won't affect the core or the API.
The most important thing now is to fully explore the architectural styles that Caraway's code-driven nature allows.
There are some extension points in this version, e.g. Container.Activating, Container.Activated and Container.ServiceNotRegistered, that will be useful for grafting in features like generic component registration and AOP, if these become important.
