I wasn't really talking about stability, which has different meanings in 
different 
contexts. Nothing's ever really feature-complete. Portions of Dabo certainly 
aren't 
complete[1], but the API has been fairly stable and mature since probably 2008 
or so.

I'm +1 on rolling a new release. I'm +0 on making it 1.0.

[1] Database support beyond MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Firebird; the report 
writer; localization; setup.py come to mind, but I think even these are 
feature-complete and mature in their own ways to be part of an overall 1.0 Dabo.

Just seeing if anyone notices. :)
