In Response To: GNU (Timothy Chow)

This was recently brought up by me n the GNUBG mailing list. Our project has been pretty much in a testing stage since inception, and no one has really defined what v1.0 should look like. Our project is technically stable (even with bugs), so could be given a 1.0 tag. One of the reasons I have held back from officially releasing Windows builds with the new neural net was to determine whether there was a sizable improvement in strength.

I can think of some non-neural net things that would make for a large milestone (Eventual move to GTK3 from GTK2 which has been ongoing for a while), but that might make for release 2.0 at this point. Some may define 1.0 as clearing a certain number of high priority bugs from the bug tracking system.

Based on internal numbers (and the heavy usage I have given 0.91 to this point) it might be time to put a stake down and say this could be version 1.0. I actually agree with you.

My thoughts were part of a larger technical post about general release engineering. That can be read here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnubg/2013-03/msg00035.html . The first couple of paragraphs bring up the discussion of v1.0 . It has been something on my mind.

Thanks for the feedback Tim.
