Hooray! It's 0.99.9 at last!

What's the rationale behind a release version number that asymptotically approaches the 1.0 value?
After V.0.99 there is V. 0.100, then V.0.101, etc. Version numbers have dots, but those dots are not like the real number dots :-)

Bye Tango team,

Great, thanks very much. When can we see the tango for D2.0?

How do you ever get to 1.0 then?

Thanks for the hard work. I'm using Tango almost daily and it has really evolved over the years. IMO just as D excels other languages Tango excels phobos or even more. In this sense Tango is phobos' D lol (no offense but Tango rocks:)

Yeah seriously is it intended to support D2.0 finally when TDPL is going to come out and make a big buzz about D ? If there is any chance boosting D's popularity it is then. I encourage all library writers to jump the train and try to support D2.0 until then.

About Time... ;-)

Congrats on some good work - can't wait for v1.00

Is that a serious question?
The answer: for example at release 0.275.1, that is when you want, when you think the software is good enough to be called 1.0.
