Thaw 1.0.0-beta.1

Hi everyone,

This is the initial release to get things going. There will be more beta release in the future to fix some of the bugs that where present in Ice and are therefore present in Thaw.

I currently don't have an ETA for a stable release. Furthermore, I won't work on new features as of now, since my primary focus is on fixing bugs. If you find any, please do not hesitate to report them.
