I 100% agree with you. All of this version numbering needs to start
making sense. Call it 1.0.0 already. Nobody is going to take it
seriously if it's never released.

I'd like to make a suggestion. Let's drop the Alpha and come out
with an official version 1.0.Here's my reasons. The 0.9x version are obsolete and people should
be using the 1.0 Alpha versions which seem to me to do everything
the previous versions did and more. It's as full featured and
stable as all other IMAP servers and in my opinion is ready to be
called 1.0.The "Alpha" label scares people off and with the 0.9x version being
obsolete I think it creates confusion for new users. It created
confusion for me when I converted to dovecot, and distros are
less ,ikely to include versions with the Alpha label.Once you go to 1.0 you can start a 1.1 alpha series and finish it
up. I know Timo has high standards but as a marketing issue I think
that the Alpha label needs to go to get people to accept and use
1.0 in production.Thoughts?
