I agree with your point about making a release without changes. However, there were enough changes, patches and bugfixes in the last two years to justify a release. This is also some kind of a chicken-egg problem:

Oh, it's definitely worth having one _now_. Sure, but why isn't it happening? :) What's keeping everyone from releasing the long debated (there were some mails a few weeks ago..) 1.0 version? I mean it can't be too hard to tag 1.0 in darcs and build a tarball. I'd do it myself if a) I'd be a bit more involved in xmonad development and b) this wouldn't feel like just pushing my name to the front now.

...

Personally I'd also vote for release versions like 2011Q1 or 20110301 or something similar (just propagate if it's yyyymmdd or yyyyddmm ;). In case of urgent bugfixes you could still do something like 2011Q1.01 or 20110301.01 etc.

Except we can't use these types of version "numbers" for Hackage, and they don't match the Package Versioning Policy: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Package_versioning_policy Too bad that there's a policy. Although I personally don't like versioning using major and minor numbers, I understand that it's necessary for something like the haskell platform. Thanks for pointing me to it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux)
