Hi Jeremy,

No, the next stable release will be 1.0.10. :-)

Sorry for the confusion.

Darcs has gone through some heavy changes since 1.0.9, with a
few wrong turns, but is now settling at what will become darcs2.
It is the work of David and some other bright guys. I have tried
to keep up with the stable branch, pulling in safe parts from
the unstable repo, but I don't have as much time for darcs as I
used to any more. The 1.0.9 release has been fairly stable, but
a few annoying and sometimes hurting bugs are now known, and I'm
trying to put together a 1.0.10 release. It was initially
intended to be the 1.1.0 release, but is now only going to be a
bugfix release for those not yet ready to make the switch to
darcs2. Darcs2 will be able to work with old darcs1
repositories, so it is the "real" next stable release. There is
a good momentum of work in darcs2 right now, so it's even
possible darcs2 is ready before 1.0.10.
