I disagree here and am of the view that the pace of TB! development
has been very quick. A LOT has happened to TB! since I started using
it in 1999 and the version then was 1.31 (I think).:-) It's just that
the version numbers have been going up in much smaller increments when
compared to other software undergoing similar enhancement/development.
For example, when the message base format for TB! was changed, the
version number moved from v1.41 to v1.42. When the interface got a
face lift in terms of the consolidation of options and the CC, the
version number jumped from 1.52 to 1.53. There are numerous other
examples of major enhancements being reflected by small increases in
version number including:
Numerous new macros and making macro recursive.
Message List Colouring
Backup/Restore and Synchronising functionality
GnuPG Support
Message memos.
Source viewer
Kill-filter revamping
There are even more radical enhancements that are being tested in the
v1.54 betas and this is only a move from v1.53.
So, if you're going to assess development based on version numbering.
you'll be sorely disappointed. Though v2 has been long in coming, I've
been quite content since development has certainly progressed in the
interim. Many are however impatient because v2 is slated to have some
important interface enhancements such as customisable toolbars,
remappable keyboard shortcuts, an alternate editor, plug-in support
among other things.
