We are spinning up our effort on Avogadro 2, and I honestly want to
focus our effort on that for large scale changes like this. Being able
to build up a real delta is something Geoff and I sketched out, and I
think it is the right way to go. I would like to release 1.1 to expose
much of the new functionality, but I think there are also several
other issues causing crashes.

Having a better testing framework, and actually writing tests will
help us avoid many of these issues. Infrastructure is coming online as
part of our work to facilitate this - I will try to post more about
the early MolCore work we have been doing that shows off some of this
infrastructure.
