[ANN] Release 10.0.0 DP-1

[William de Smet]

Been playing all day with LC 10 DP-1 and mostly testing Web/html5 and I can
confirm Firefox is also the fastest in WASM on a remote webserver.
Safari is the slowest. Most people I know use the Chrome browser however.
On Chrome OS speed varies depending on the state of the Chromebook (age).
