just one very quick and possibly stupid idea. How about getting rid of the 0 version prefix and calling the next release 1.0?
To make it short: As we are about two weeks ahead of next release I disagree. After 0.21 release we got a lot of structural changes we might could think about a 1.0 too, but I don't feel its needed at the moment.
I have to disagree with you on this Frank, the version number is nothing to do with structural or technical issues, it is a project issue. Changing the version number doesn't affect translation or anything else that takes time to do, so it isn't going to delay the release.
As shallow as it may seem to us technical people, that something like the version number is important, it is part of the image that Geany uses to attract assistance to the project, and that is important to us. And as such should reflect the fact that Geany is a mature product.
