Title: v1.0

I've been meaning to ask - what are your criteria for promoting BoincTasks from v0.xx to 1.0?  No big deal, it's just a number.  But I'm curious :)

I gave up any form of numbering.
Every new version has the next number. So now at number 68.
Try to keep the time intervals short, so when a problem pops up it's easier to trace.
When a version has no reported problems I promote it to release.

I understand, & certainly the developer can number his creation anything he wants.  I was just thinking (as an old retired Systems Analyst) that vee zero point anything sounds like pre-release software, and BT has surely matured beyond that point - if only to be more in line with Tthrottle ;)  But...not my call really ;D
