Development Roadmap

The versioning scheme is a mess, originally even minor version numbers were supposed to be stable and odd ones development branches, but turns out that for the most part it is easier to do incremental development instead of keeping 'dev' and 'stable' branches.

A development branch might be added in the future if the changes are radical enough and break backwards compatibility in some important way. For this the deprecated and currently outdated werc-dev mercurial repo will be used.
