Freespire 1.1 to be Freespire 2.0 Instead

Well it looks like Freespire will be later than originally planned and the version number will be 2.0 rather than 1.1 as originally outlined on the Freespire wiki. According to Kevin Carmony over on the Freespire community forum:

It has been decided, that the next version of Freespire will be named version 2.0, rather than 1.1. This decision was based on the significant changes between the current version of Freespire (1.0) and the next version, such as a new Kernel, new KDE, refreshed sync with Debian, etc. There are so many significant changes, we believe it makes more sense to call it 2.0. Also, because of the many enhancements and changes, we believe early 2007 is a more realistic time frame for the Freespire 2.0 release, rather than December (things get pretty crazy around Christmas time anyway, so an early 2007 release will be more appropriate).

These two changes are reflected in the Road Map.

I was wondering how they were going to pull off two releases in a single year. Oh well, I'll take end of January. Release dates were made to be broken.

Good Luck to the *Spire crew.
