Disclaimer
==========

``ara-server`` is not yet stable and will be shipped as part of a coordinated
ARA 1.0 release. It is not currently recommended for production use.

While most of the major work has landed, please keep in mind that we can still
introduce backwards incompatible changes until we ship the first release.

You are free to use this project and in fact, you are more than welcome to
contribute feedback, bug fixes or improvements !

If you are looking for a stable version of ARA, you can find the latest 0.x
version on PyPi_ and the source is available here_.
