Given the nature of 1.02 as a 1.1 beta, and the relatively recent updating pattern as seen in the RC's & 1.0X's, and the apparent drop of the a/b/c/d/... system, I was wondering:
1) are we now in a system where things are being gradually updated and changed, with many intermittent releases, rather than massive changes over really long periods of stasis? (Personally, as a modder, I prefer it this way, as often it allows me to focus on changing little bits of a mods as necessary as the versions go along, rather than having to completely rebuild my mod all at once once a new version comes along with sweeping changes [ie, 1.0 - 1.01 - 1.02 TX2 (really should be called TX3) transitions as opposed to .99c to 1.0RC1 (which completely broke TX2)])
2)Are the 1.0X's acting to 1.1 as an analog of the RC's to 1.0? Or will there be 1.1 RC's after these betas but before 1.1 itself?
