LDC is really stable for quite some time. I felt that the 0.xx 
version scheme was no longer appropriate. E.g. many companies 
still consider a 0.xx version as not production ready. I raised 
the topic on the newsgroup. Outcome of the discussion was that 
the first version based on the frontend written in D should be 
version 1.0. (This is a major milestone.)

In this sense there is nothing special about this version. We 
tried to make it the best LDC version ever - but we have this 
goal for every LDC release.

Regards,
Kai
