So, since Antonia is getting closer and closer to leaving the 'preview' domain and having 'real' releases, I was thinking about numbering schemes. I like the convention used in many software projects in which odd minor revision numbers are reserved for experimental versions and even ones for stable versions. In other words, versions 1.0.x, 1.2.x, 1.4.x and so on would be stable (with the x changing whenever there's a bug fix patch), whereas 0.9.x, 1.1.x, 1.3.x would be experimental.
So with this in mind I would make the next release version 0.9.121 (and also retroactively rename the current version from 118 to 0.9.118 and so on) and then advance toward the 1.0.0 for the first stable version. I'm still not completely sure whether there can be a 1.0 without a full set of expression morphs, but I'm getting the feeling that the shape and rig of the body are now as good as I can get them, and that it's (almost) time to get the message out that she's ready for use. Maybe version 1.0 could have a basic set of expression morphs so that people have something to start with, and I could work on the full set for 1.2.
Comments are, as usual, appreciated.
