If I might make a suggestion for the versioning for the next stable

1.x.x for awhile now with no sign of stopping, which really gives the
impression that not much is being changed.
I would rather prefer to define some goals for a 2.0 release.
I believe it's a good time as ever to switch version numbers - the UI
has been/is being greatly revamped recently. Plus taking into account
all the changes made during the 1.9 development cycle, and how greatly
the game has improved since 1.0, I really think a change to 2.0 would
be optimal.
LordBob and me are working on getting the game gui in sync with current
dialogs and the editor's one optic wise.
Still, the overhaul of the game gui is delayed until after the release.
Thus from a UI point of view the next (1.14) would be a better 2.0
candidate.
Also, I suspect the 1.14 map editor being much more what it might stay
for a longer time than what goes into 1.12.
There are two possible routes to go:
* Proceed with the 1.11.x development cycle, up to the rc releases, at
which point the number would be bumped to 2.0. After that, the current
system of even-stable, odd-dev releases could be kept through 2.1.x,
2.2.x, etc.
* Proceed with the 1.11.x development cycle, up to the rc releases, at
which point the number would be bumped to 2.0. After that, 2.x
releases would be all subsequent stable releases, and 3.x created when
the time comes to create a new dev series.
Maybe the idea of keeping 2.x a pretty stable one while going new ways
with a 3.x version can be considered?
Wesnoth 1.0 was meant as a full featured game,
meaning it had everything in sync.
A complete set of images for every unit at the same level of quantity
and quality is an example.
Currently the UI is out of sync, also we have factions with pretty old
artwork (Elves) beside newly animated Saurians.
Waiting for every core unit being covered by a certain level of
completeness before it is called 2.x seems reasonable.
