I don't get what you mean by this, since none of my post above said to wait until improvement, didn't it? I said I'm for releasing, not for waiting. >> By the way, is the version number going to be 1.9.2?

Maybe you misunderstand the versioning system. 1.10.0 IS newer than 1.9.1 with no doubt. if 1.10.0 is less than 1.9.1, then 10 is smaller than 9. Plus, 1.10.0 is very different from 1.1.0. We talked about how we should give a version number, and (I believe that) we ended up with the following consensus: Major version (first number) for big step: (e.g. shadows and landing lights for 2.0.0 IIRC) Minor version (second number) for feature improvement, basically for scheduled release. Micro version (third number) for maintenance release. This is why we got 1.9.1 after 1.9.0 (since it was a bug-fix version of 1.9.0). With this rule, the next release should be 1.10.0 (or 1.10.0 beta) unless shadows and landing lights will be implemented until then. If the next release actually is a maintenance release without new features like shaders and generic input device, then it will be 1.9.2.
