This is in conformance with oai-pmh non-mandatory guidelines: http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/guidelines-oai-identifier.htm It also matches how sample identifier in 'Identify' was being generated before. https://github.com/code4lib/ruby-oai/blob/23e3ac83c43231fbf55f8dfb70175dbe0975b914/lib/oai/provider/response/identify.rb#L24 It was a bug that sample identifier didn't match actual identifiers. Hypothetically, it would have been less backwards-incompat to make sample identifier use slash. But let's use 1.0 to make this conform to oai-pmh guidance. Especially becuase the majority of current users of this gem are probably using it via blacklight_oai_provider, and it was already providing runtime patches to the oai gem to get colon behavior, and had a commit message suggesting it believed it was patching an "identifier bug in oai gem." So let's fix the thing our main user thinks was a bug! https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight_oai_provider/blob/f4b25ee43846cb9efc9d5124a8639a496153aa18/config/initializers/oai_patches.rb Closes #38 Ref #61

less backwards-incompat to make sample identifier use slash, as the Guidelines saying to use colon are not mandatory, it is legal.
But let's use the 1.0 release to make this conform to oai-pmh guidance.
