As a project, we are not very precious with version numbers. There have been many stable releases before this, but we named it 1.0 because of the shear amount of new features and improvements that went into it (Completely new UX, better management of updates, screenshots, feature graphics, and perhaps most importantly is internationalised metadata (descriptions, summaries, app names, screenshots).

Ah! I get it. Thanks!

I was kind of surprised that it'd be the first stable version as I've heard good things about you for years now. I don't think I've heard any non-good things.

So, F-Droid is on my radar as I consider my next mobile options. My only Microsoft software is my phone. Yup... I'm a Windows Phone user. I know my shame.

I do have an Andoid tablet somewhere. I'll have to check you guys out a bit more.

Thanks!

> internationalised metadata

I hope this includes the version-release dates in the app pages. As a non American, they were always a sticking point, an unintuitively presented piece of information in an otherwise smooth UI flow.

Darn it, that doesn't seem to have changed, unfortunately.

In fact, I can't detect any easily visible change from 0.104 version - I guess it's mostly bugfixes and more subtle changes.
