I assume you refer to some greater version to follow? Version 2.2 perhaps? I'm a little tired of new versions constantly introducing features without eliminating major bugs. Also, the version numbers don't seem to mean a lot. I think there wer more differences between the 1.5x and 1.6x versions than between any of the 2.xx versions.
