Why does that matter? It's a mature piece of software that has ongoing fixes.
- frou_dh 7y agoThey didn't say it mattered, they said they were curious.
- _bxg1 7y agoThat's exactly the point: a version number <1.0 is the universal signifier for "this isn't ready to be a daily-driver yet". If that doesn't apply to PuTTY, it's a (minor) failure of communication.
- flomo 7y agoOr it is a feature because they don't care about your particular production support issues.
- hnick 7y agoI was curious but couldn't find an answer, how long has that convention been around? Was it in place when PuTTY started in the late 90s?
- barkingcat 7y agoI would suggest that " version number <1.0 is the universal signifier" is the failure of assumption. Many software don't abide by that.
