Thank you for clearing up the misunderstandings I had.

That would be nice and might be a bit of work.  I can try and skim back
over the commit history and see what major features are in since the 3.1
release we have marked.  It would be quite nice to fill in some of the
release notes in GitHub too so I will try and do that based on older
documents and changeset too.   Once we can see the past perhaps we can
plan for the future.

That is what I see most people asking for.  I am not sure there are new
features the core program needs to do.  If we were going to go for a
snazzy dynamic system with (web) GUIs I think it would need to be
facilitated by a suit of micro-services in the modern and classic UNIX
style.

I am more familiar with Semantic like visioning as described in
http://semver.org/ so would be quite happy to switch to that.  Perhaps
the first job should be to release a 3.1.1 release as an updated
stable.  Numbers and names are not that important as long as people can
understand their intent.  I am happy to go with whatever the group feels
would best fit. 

Looking at this I realise I probably should have made three separate
responses so we would have a Roadmap, Stable and Version Numbering
thread.  This list does not have a high volume though.  People can
narrow the scope on reply if they feel the need.

I shall try and scribble some release notes before months end and get
back to you all.
