Version numbering:
I have taken over from TwoKey at version 0.9.5. My work started at 0.9.5.1
I think the Gallery is not worth a 1.0 version yet. Too many things have to be done still.
Here is my numbering standard:

• 0.11.2.3: (fourth number) Used for minor revisons and bug fixes. Normally not noticed by user or blog visitor.
• 0.11.2: (third number) Used for small revisions. Could be noticed by user or blog visitor, but does not add new functionality. This could be a technology change like javascript driven slide pages. The slide page looks the same to the blog visitor but refresh is different.
• 0.12: (second number) Modal revision. Will be noticed by user or blog visitor. Adds new functionality to the gallery like comments on images.
• 1: (first number) Major revision. Combines all of the above. Something to be proud of.
