I think 1.6 is a more attractive number. They're really quite similar, but the 6 has smoother lines, and is less pointy. Kind of like a good woman, or maybe suggestive of the bubbles on top of a mug of good lager. I think my main vote here is that Heikki is right about our need to release early, release often, and not feel like we have to add some prescribed amount of fixes or new features in order to justify doing another release. Our last release wasn't beta tested worth a damn anyway, and neither was the one before that. There probably isn't much point trying to be professional about it, because we don't have the resources to get that kind of testing done. I don't think we have enough resources to maintain some kind of two tiered release schedule either, and should probably just aim to try to come up with some logical number to affix to today's SVN whenever it seems there's something important enough to bother releasing. In this case, our reorganized code tree and new build system, everything else aside. Though we should delay long enough to at least attempt to address the aforementioned problems that shipped with 1.4.0. I might get time to look into that tonight. -- D.
