1. Banter 0.1.x Development Series
Banter 0.1.x is an unstable development series intended for testing and hacking purposes. Banter follows the GNOME convention of using odd minor version numbers to indicate development status, so this unstable 0.1.x series will eventually become the 0.2.0 stable release of Banter.
Plans for this and other releases are documented on the Road Map page.
