On the opposite, lot of people think 4.1 would be minor (bug fix mainly) ,
and lot of blogs said about 3.0 and 4.0 that Jmeter had taken 10 years to
release a major version.

That’s why I think it’s better for « marketing » reason to release a 5.0

But it’s not the only reason.
I believe this version deserves a major number:
- The httpclient new Api migration
- Report : New graph and Custom graphs
- XPath 2
- the flow control improvements which will hopefully ease many use cases
- Search improvements. I’ve been using it and it’s a big usability
improvement for correlation
- recorder enhancement, this really also makes life easier

So I believe this 4.1 version would not be a correct version number as due
to the new features and hc4 api migration it might require a bugfix version
5.1.


But if you feel I am wrong, it’s not a problem to name it 4.1.
i mentionned 5.0 in a tweet and here.
4.1 is mentioned in lot of stackoverflow answers and tweets.
