This morning Intel has announced the release of Clutter 1.0.0, the graphics library that is gaining speed within the GNOME development community (it is used by Gnome Shell). "This toolkit provides a library/API for creating rich user interfaces in a relatively easy to use way that conceals much of the challenges of programming your application to directly use OpenGL or OpenGL ES. Clutter is already being used within Moblin V2 and its user interface is very impressive."

RE[3]: One Point Oh?

Generally, that is only one condition that has to be met. A .0 release generally implies that the product is stable (doesn't crash a lot) and is pretty much feature complete. Only a few slipshod projekts with substandard QA use .0 to mean only that the abi is stable and that developers can get started.

Sure - the 1.0 release implies a more general "ready for use".

But I disagree with your last sentence - it should actually be the projects with *good* QA for which a 1.0 release means only that the API is stable. If your code is crashing a lot, you shouldn't be doing 0.x releases, never mind a 1.0...
