This is a great moment in the history of Wings 3D. A program that began as a "Can this be done in Erlang?" project has proved, yes it can and more. Here's what Björn wrote to launch the release of wings-1.0-rc1 on the Wings Official Development Forum:
I started developing Wings about eight years ago and I think it is high time that Wings reached 1.0.
So here 1.0-rc1, that is the first release candidate for the 1.0 release. We will probably release a few more release candidates only containing bug fixes (no new features),
and then we will release 1.0.... read more
Wings 3D has switched to Git, replacing svn as its source code manager.
Wings 3D is a subdivision modeller with an user interface that is easy to use for both beginners and advanced users (inspired by Nendo and Mirai from Izware).
More Magnet Mask tools to further improve usability including the ability to Invert masked and unmasked areas and toggle the mask on/off. Some important bug fixes are included in this release, so upgrading is recommended.
Unfortunately the 0.99.54 release had some show stopper bugs in it... fortunately we were able to fix them and make a new release right away :)
Lots of good stuff in this release including major rewrites of Inset and Sweep, and introducing Magnet Masking, which locks vertices against the influence of magnets in both Tweak mode and against the regular wings magnets. For a full list of feature changes please read the release notes.

This update features many bug fixes as we try and work towards a stable release.
There has been a lot of work put into the new Tweak mode recently to make it more intuitive and powerful. With this release, there are new selection options in Tweak to allow for single and double click selection, but users can still use Ctrl+L if they found that more workable. Other changes to Tweak include are included in the release notes.... read more
This release fixes some bugs and improves some features. You can now call cut 2/3/4 in Tweak if the Magnet is off, otherwise the magnet type is changed.
Basic menus have been retired in this release of Wings which also features some minor bug fixes and feature enhancements.
Release Notes: https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=639238&group_id=33028
This release features bug fixes and major updates to Tweak Mode to allow multiple selections, use of selection tools, right click access to all the Wings mesh tools and more. Basically, now you can enter Tweak and still have access to all the regular Wings commands without having to exit!
Enjoy :)

We started the 0.99.xx track in December last year.
Why?
Because we want to start moving towards 1.0. An "1.0" of an application is usually the first version of an application that does something useful. It seems that Wings has passed that stage a long time ago.
So in the 0.99.xx track, we will attempt to fix as many bugs and major shortcomings as possible, before we bump the version number to 1.0, probably before the end of the year.... read more

It is difficult to point any specific highlights for this release. See the release notes.
Wings 3D is a polygon mesh modeller with an user interface that is easy to use for both beginners and advanced users (inspired by Nendo from Nichimen/Izware). Imports and exports TDS and OBJ files.
The major new feature are new selection functionality. Marque select and drag select (as in Nendo) are implemented. The irritating click-through for edges and vertices is fixed, and you can now also select faces inside an inverted object.
Other features are a material editor and an experimental implementation of vertex colors.
Another new feture is the camera emulation modes (rotating, zooming, and panning) for Nendo, 3ds max, and Maya.
The main feature of Wings 0.84 is import of Nendo 1.1 files.
