New versioning scheme

From today we start a new versioning system to avoid critical software regressions. We prefer to keep the official version as stable as possible, and try new features only in beta branches.

So from now on, new features will appear in beta versions only like v1.2-beta1, v1.2-beta2, etc.). In a certain moment (from 3 to 6 months), we’ll freeze the v1.2, and we’ll take a couple of weeks for intensive testing and bug fixing. After that it’ll be made official and all new features will start appearing on v1.3-beta1, and the cycle continues.

Beta versions will be available through the beta branch on Steam. In this way, you can opt-in for new feature or opt-out and stay in the stable side:
