They just decided to freeze new development and concentrate on a set of essential bugs to fix so they can consider the software now not a beta version. I do not see it significantly more stable than an 0.9.X release but since I run only linux at home at least it lets me play my favorite game.

13 years to get to v1. Well, congrats to them. Sure was a long time in the coming.
Life, family, faith: Give me a visit. From my latest post: "A lot of Christians struggle, perhaps at a subconscious level, about the phrase "God of Israel". After all, Israel's God is the God of Judaism, is He not? And the God of Christianity is not the God of Judaism, right?" Judah Himango

I never have got the release number bit anyway, oh I know the intent but since it's value is determined by marketeers, and it has been ever thus, it follows that they're arbitrary. I reckon we should use date e.g the Firefox 20080611 (Wednesday, 11 June 2008 19:16:56 is the timestamp on the Digital Signature) dontya hate it when Fx loses the caret like it just done to me, wish they'd fixed the bugs instead of changing things that weren't broke.

The date is true. I like it that there is a Ubuntu 810, 804, 710, 704, ... Major en minors don't say that much anymore today.
StijnDP wrote "Major en minors don't say that much anymore today." tell me when they did mate, not in my years in IT, and that's a tad over 40. A date tells you something - Mucrosift have half done it with VS and Office, but they wont stick to it, e.g. Windows 98, Win2000, Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7

Orson Wells, for Paul Mason wine. Large imposing actor with a dark suit and a goatee, sitting at a small cafe table with a glass of wine. In a deep rumbling voice he proclaims " At Paul Mason vineyards, we will sell no wine...(dramatic pause that would make James Lipton jealous) before it's time".... que soft drama music with a fade to black. Ah, ya gotta love the classics.:cool:

Although there is a Paul Mason winery, the big man used to advertise for Paul Masson wine.

Yep. spelling goof, thanks for the correction. you're right about the wine too. That stuff didn't even have time to stop swirling in the bottle before it was on a store shelf. Boones' Farm had nothing on these guys. :laugh:
