0.96 was released April 20, 2013[1] and was rather solid to use. Glad to hear that it received a fair amount of hype before (I wasn't aware of that myself -- perhaps I missed that phase). Most languages seem to release rapidly as 'low-hanging fruit' features are worked on, and then seem to plateau as major releases get longer and longer in between. Factor came to my attention during the 0.94 release in 2010, which was solid enough to learn Factor in a great IDE. I wish that I'd had more time to invest more seriously over the years, but am extremely glad that it's still being actively worked on. You can tell this from the Factor github commit log[2]. As far as I'm aware, since the community is rather small, most people that code in Factor don't bother much with the release numbers and just compile their images straight from github as commits are made. The "releases" are done more as a public milestone. [1] http://re-factor.blogspot.com/2013/04/factor-0-96-now-available.html http://re-factor.blogspot.com/2013/04/factor-0-96-now-availa...
