That is, in a way the current <1.0 versioning quite misrepresents Inkscape and its features. Lately Hugin (which is a panorama making tool) project adopted the YEAR.EVEN/ODD versioning scheme. Should we probably discuss whether we need something like that?
I think the date-based version scheme is boring :) and it doesn't tell when important features are added.
The reason why there is no 1.0 is because 1.0 was intended to be a milestone of full SVG 1.1 support, which we might never achieve.
If we never achieve full 1.1 support I think I'll shoot myself. Seriously, if we are limiting ourselves to the SVG standard, yet no one is pushing to achieve it, what is the point of that limitation?
Perhaps we should make it mandatory that at least 1 of our SoC spots each year goes toward implementing some piece needed to be more compliant. It's not fun, it's not exciting, it's not really glamorous either, but it will push that major project goal forward.
