Hi Andries, the way we track releases has indeed changed, and I'm glad you brought this up because it could use some clarification. The release tracking in JIRA as it stands now is no release number or date is used for releases that have not gone out yet. This gives us the flexibility to change things as necessary during the course of planning a release without abruptly changing expectations. Unreleased versions are still tracked, but tracked 'anonymously' as 'next mini', 'next minor', and 'next major' release. We will be using this release tracking mechanism throughout the 1.5 and 1.0.4 release process. Going forward we can consider adding release numbers and dates as soon as they have been finalized. I see no issue with making promises in the issue tracker that we've already made on the list and elsewhere. :) We will not add releases that have not been finalized, however, as this makes reporting against issues (something we're relying on more at Zend lately) a mess and could set false expectations.
