TL;DR: twelve to eighteen weeks. Possibly more six-week increments after that, depending on how we feel during beta. Full details: http://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/12/12/1.0-Timeline.html

#4So that's why I'm suddenly getting all these "warning: use of unstable item" after doing a rustup.

#5Well here we are. I think this is what a lot of folks were looking for, anything before Alpha just seems too bleeding edge. Will be interesting to see what the next year holds for this language.

#7Congrats to everyone involved (and there sure are a lot of you)!
The TL;DR of the alpha is basically this:
1. The concept of a six-week release cycle begins today, with the first beta coming in March.
2. Breaking changes will basically cease, with the exception of a list of libraries that are still unstable and features that may be tweaked (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/wiki/Anticipated-breaking-...).
3. Given the aforementioned degree of remaining instability, users should still probably stick to the nightly releases in order to help keep their code up to date and weed out bugs in the compiler.
As ever, it deserves to be reiterated that the 1.0 release does not represent the language being "finished" in any way, only that things will stop breaking. The language will continue evolving rapidly after 1.0, and even the 1.0 release will contain several known (and sometimes rather unfortunate) restrictions that will be backwards-compatibly lifted over time.
Post-1.0, I expect there to be a large community outreach to determine which work to prioritize (for example, I foresee a great clamor for making macros more usable). With developer help I intend to publish a blog post before then detailing exactly which deficiencies Rust 1.0 will contain, and the use cases that they currently either prevent or make awkward.
