I think its about time we released our next version. If we are going to change our naming scheme, we should probably decide on a new naming scheme soon.
Seeing as our current release is 0.8.21 otherwise known as Alpha 21, we could simply change nothing and stick with 0.8.22 / Alpha 22. Without changing much in our naming scheme we could move our version minor to 0.9.1. We'd need to come up with some pet name for our 0.9 series of releases ( beta? ). This however changes nothing really in our naming scheme. Allot of people seem to support the idea of doing a simple glob-22 and glob-23 style scheme. I'm somewhat against this, while its simple, its almost too simple. When talking about a release we talk about glob-22 and glob-21 etc anyhow so it really only makes a difference in official documents, and it seems quite different from common conventions. I'm in favor of one of the first two ideas. We are moving closer to a 1.0 release, and the number of major things that need to be written and/or rewritten is steadily decreasing. Moving into 0.9 emphasizes this fact and is a feat on its own. Many times we have considered doing a 1.0 release after feature x was completed, but it never really happened. Doing our first 0.9 release can be a testament to the years of effort done on the project. Whatever we do, its been 4-5 months since our last release and allot of changes have taken place. I'm gonna try and get as much testing done on the new unit allocation system because I've found increasingly obscure crash bugs in it. I haven't found any recently though, I might have covered them all. Otherwise, if and when people agree on it, I will do a release of our next version. -- Really. I'm not lieing.
