Re: Extreme Tux Racer 0.4 versus 0.6
Bringing some upstream point of view. Currently there's one active
developer, and me doing some occasional fixes to build system and
other odd jobs.

Active development future of course does not make 0.6 any better than
it is. While it certainly would not make sense to start using 0.4 now,
time to migrate away from it is another story.
The main reason 0.6 was released so soon at all was to give the world
some indication that development has started again so when next
version comes out, it won't take so long to get people to learn about
the "new" project, and also to have clear "base" version as often
comparisons to 0.4 are impossible due to lack of history records.

Could you still keep door open for shipping 0.7 with Jessie if we end
up releasing one before the Jessie freeze?
