1.0.0-beta.3

Highlights

This release fixes a number of bugs preventing stable usage of the beta.2 release in a long running cluster (#1059).

It also performs a number of destructive renames while we still have the ability to do so.

• Module rename (!) The DistributedActors module has been renamed to DistributedCluster as it explains more precisely what this module is offering (the ClusterSystem) type.

• The Node and UniqueNode types have been changed to Cluster.Endpoint and Cluster.Node respectively. See #1077 for a more detailed explanation.

Internally we also adopted a new integration testing framework - offering MultiNode tests. This multi node testing framework will initially be matured internally before making it available to users outside the package. #1055
