In that time, we've added a couple new - protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and - had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote - a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a - new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines - to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all - kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This - beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! + Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on + the behemoth that is 2.0.0.
