Re: [Super-tux-devel] Next version plans

[Tobias <tob...@gm...>]

Hey folks,

generally spoken most features are good features.
I'd like to explain my release plan:

The 0.1.x series is for bugfixing only from now on.
The 0.2.x versions will be started now and are equivalent to the 0.0.x
series (which means, that new features are a top priority).
This efforts will result in the 0.3.x series aka 1.0.x.

Greetz...
