![]() No, 1.0 means "finished to the point of usability and beta tested to a certain level of solidity". But I've started to see a trend in the OSS community towards NEVER releasing a 1.0, as if 1.0 means that you're now an evil commercial entity that must be punished.

NOT major format additions, a UI overhaul, and a boatload of additional features! Is it just me, or does it make NO SENSE that this is a point.point upgrade?
