Hi users, on the dev list we are talking about to rename 1.4 to 2.0.
The new major version number implies: * major architectural changes * significant upgrade effort * major new functionality * lots of cool new things to learn about and a ".0" minor version implies: * some risk of bugginess, until the ".1" or ".01" release comes out. That describes the current Lenya code pretty well. However some devs point out that the disadvantage is the community knows the next release as 1.4. Many people are using various development versions. Changing the name will cause confusion. Directories are often named with the version number so this increases the work of "upgrading'" to the production release. "2.0" sounds less stable than "1.4.0". The old skills still apply, but this may discourage less innovative developers. Changing the version number may attract a new audience, but may damage the current community. Some of us are not certain the change will accomplish enough to offset the effort. What do you as user think about this? You are encourage to participate in the currently running vote thread http://marc.info/?t=118354802100001&r=1&w=2 and/or air your opinion here.
