Depends on what you mean by release. Google internally runs Guice at HEAD, so every single moment at HEAD is "release quality" from the perspective of our running servers. And we have released four "beta" releases over the last few quarters, and are honing in on 4.0 final.

The problem is that it's arbitrary -t he question of what is 4, what is 3, what is 4-beta vs. 4-final. We decided to increment to 4 because of some API changes, but we didn't want to freeze API changes that were going on. So we haven't released final, as we want to get a few more things in.

That said, there's not a lot in the way of a 4.0 release - just available engineering time to fix up the last things we want to see in 4. We cut the betas precisely so that people can use it if they wish (we do, in production).

I just decided to upgrade Guice in a project I started three years ago,
because a incomprehensible bug appeared.

So I visited the downloads section, only to find out *there hasn't been a release since 2011* and I'm still on the latest (stable) version. Also, there are only major releases (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 beta), at intervals of
2-3 years.

A quick look into the git history showed there's been constant activity, so
why are there no minor releases?
