I disagree here. If we push out 'official' releases too often, people
will get annoyed and stop updating. Some people don't update at all as
it seems - just yesterday I got a crashreport from TSVN1.0.1 (!).

I think we should stick with what we do now. Make releases in sync with
Subversion. Those who want to test new features can always use a nightly
build. I really don't like the idea of making more official releases,
because it's always a lot of work (complete rebuild, uploading,
adjusting the links manually, get the translators to update, build the
language packs, upload the language packs, adjust the links there too, ...)

I'd rather spend that time working on TSVN.
