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. A better approach would be to set more realistic major version milestones.
Here are my candidates for major version milestones: - fast Cairo based renderer - hardware acceleration using OpenVG - live vector effects replace Boolean operations, offset, etc. - rich text support (e.g. hyphenation, subscript and superscript, paragraphs, underlines) in the text tool - basic animation
