[Shotwell] Shorter cycles between releases

[Thomas Novin]

Hi

It's becoming more an more popular to have shorter cycles between
releases, which from a users standpoint, is good (IMO). Examples of
this are Chrome, Firefox, MythTV, Ubuntu.

Shotwell 0.12 was announced 12-03-27. Since then a couple of minor releases.

Shotwell 0.13 seems to be far away still, according to the roadmap
it's about 44% done with 68 issues closed and 85 still open.

There is for example one feature added long ago in 0.13 but I can
still not use it because I'm on 0.12.3. Why not make these new
features and fixes available sooner?

Ps. While on the subject of versions, what's up with 0.x? If I were to
choose between two softwares and one is 0.12.3 and the other 3.0 I
would assume that the 3.0-software is quite mature while the 0.12 is
just a early alpha release.
