Sounds reasonable - I was just taking a look at this topic. I was
hoping to work through all of the commits, and decide if they should
be merged, abandoned or fixed up and merged.

I am traveling this weekend unfortunately, but will try to make some
time before I leave. I have been going through a few of the open bugs
as and when I have had time.

Agreed, but I would rather not delay a release for it. I think we are
well overdue. It would be good for us to make more regular releases
and get feedback. I keep showing off Avogadro, and having people ask
why they can't use feature x, and it is because we haven't made a
1.1.0 release with binaries. I need to get back on the Windows
packaging too, which could do with being rewritten but at least needs
a little patching up. That would allow for the easy creation of
nightly binaries on Windows at least.

Last I checked, Windows was still the one with the largest user base,
and the most need for testing as it has more crashers lurking than the
other two platforms.
