Why have none of them > released a 1.x or above? A better question would be why is a 1.x version release of importance? Many tend to think of a 1.x release as an indication of stability (i.e. first release). This is really nothing more than a "warm fuzzy" in my opinion. Version numbers indicate degree of change. Has there been significant enough change to warrant a 1.x version number? Well, that's entirely subjective. I don't know that any of the projects I maintain will reach a 1.x version any time soon simply because of the stigma that is associated with it. I'm not a BB developer (beyond periodic bug reports and other spoutings). So, these are only my personal opinions (as always). -- Jamin W. Collins
