acquia_purge 7.x-1.0-beta1

First beta release after a trilogy of alpha releases in which the trend of stabilization, bug fixes and documentation polish has been continued. At this time of writing Acquia Purge has 75 reported installation which is a big jump since the last release which boosts confidence in the stability of the module, which this release should only further strengthen. A big emphasis has been on rewriting the documentation including a FAQ and INSTALL.txt, to not only fully stabilize installations but to guide site administrators better.

Changes compared to 7.x-1.0-alpha3:

• Documentation: received a big rewrite, I've added INSTALL.txt, FAQ.txt and made many things much clearer.
• drush ap-list (apl): new Drush commands that prints the items in the queue.
• drush ap-domains (apdo): new Drush command that lists all identified domains.
• 2113577: not longer relying on drupal.org's existence of MULTISITE.txt DOMAINS.txt.
• 2133001: fixed sites running on subdirectories where base_path wasn't /.
• Diagnostics: up to 8 domains allowed and everything below 6 is now regarded healthy, also liberated the policy here.
• Diagnostics: varnish module is now a warning, not a blocker.
• Diagnostics: AP will refuse service now when page_cache_maximum_age is disabled and trigger a warning below 6 hours, liberated this policy for exceptional situations.
• Diagnostics: are now showing HTML versions of their descriptions.
• Diagnostics: are now checked for fatal issues before starting useless purge attempts and queues filling up, the error found is clearly presented to the user with explanation. Only users with the "purge notification" will get alerts.

Code-wise this releases only fixes issues and shouldn't introduce any regressions. Everybody is therefore advised to upgrade as soon as they can!

Feedback welcome,
