I disagree. If I can simplify the last six months of work:
FormAPI or, as I prefer, FAPI. Security/validation related to FAPI
This is a framework/API "developer feature", and not something that the end-user will ever care to appreciate. Taking FAPI out of the equation, I don't really see the number of *important* features that would make justify a 5.0 release.
As indicated earlier, I agree with Morbus' statement. For developers, 4.7.0 is a significant change. For users, it is not. Calling something 5.0.0 sets a lot of expectations. For the average user, an improved default core theme, written in two days, is much more exciting than the forms API we have been working on for many months. For the next release, I want to us to introduce a dashboard, create a new default core theme, reorganize the administration pages, and hopefully include an install system. By doing so, we have all the ingredients it takes to release a 5.0.0 and to live up people's expectations. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
