What defines openXcom 1.0?

I'm just curious as to when you might 'finish'.  Whats outstanding?  Ending video?

Unless nobody ever pushes a build again, the project won't "finish". :)

As for release milestones, 0.9 actually hit all those. 1.0 is looking to have more user convenience features, a lot of bugfixes, and the beginning of mod support. After that? TFTD is probably the next big push, then I imagine there'll be some sort of combination mod to make, and we have all sorts of improvements planned.

Every time I see a new version out I'm like 'Is this it, then?' and low and behold there's always another version soon after.
I think it'll stay 'beta' untill they move project to another X game. Mabye even trying to incorporate Xcom and TTFD together, even though I heard that was impossible.

Judging by the workings here I'd say nothing's impossible

i more towards being able to pay either UE or TFTD , you can choose and pick, all the game fixes will be present and all the advanced features will be available, just a matter of time to make code to properly render both games. i think a lot of it is 3/4 of the way done, but refinement is where a lot of time is spent, some people already have a lot of the code working just give a little time. :)

i think the only big checklist item left for 1.0 is TFTD support, but we might release an 0.9.x in the meantime.
in fact, it's probably about time we did, what with all the changes and fixes and additions that have been made.

This is an open-source project, so there'll always be new versions to release as long as there's bugs to fix. :P

But 1.0 might come sooner rather than later. After all, we'd really like people to stop worrying about the versions, they're just numbers people! ;)

Hopefully my saved games will be compatible from 0.9.

It's a shame Git doesn't have revision numbers, or every nightly build would have a new version. :P

And we'd currently be playing 0.9.73, or something. :D

It's doable ;) We can make 0.9.0.1, 0.9.0.2 etc ;) Basically add 4th number and increment every build ;)

I'd be happy with just a bi-weekly release or something.  That way the "stable" release won't ever be too far behind trunk and people could actually submit useful bugs against the stable version.

Right, I think the issue was that you'd have to manually increment the revision number each time you push a new build.
