Bug Fixes:

Fix the producer's internal reference counting in certain unusual scenarios (#367).

Version 1.0.0 is the first tagged version, and is almost a complete rewrite. The primary differences with previous untagged versions are:

The producer has been rewritten; there is now a SyncProducer with a blocking API, and an AsyncProducer that is non-blocking.
The consumer has been rewritten to only open one connection per broker instead of one connection per partition.
The main types of Sarama are now interfaces to make depedency injection easy; mock implementations for Consumer, SyncProducer and AsyncProducer are provided in the github.com/Shopify/sarama/mocks package.
For most uses cases, it is not no longer necessary to open a Client; this will be done for you.
All the configuration values have been unified in the Config struct.
Much improved test suite.
