Hi
I would really love a new release.
Unfinished features and things that change later is part of a 0.x
release, so I do not think that anyone would mind.
Rather a monthly release with minor issues, than living with bugs for
3-4 month. (yes, yes - just use CVS, but that is not always possible or
sound)
