There are a lot of new features and some of them were integrated in
parallel, so there was no chance to make indepedent releases because the
code wasn't ready.
Another problem: Having a release for each new feature would lead to
something like version 1.8.0 now, which is not adequate in my opinion.
Having all new features in one release allows also having only one beta
cycle instead of many beta cycles. There were huge changes in the code
to allow the new 'alter' and 'verify' modes which may cause problems
also for the old modes.
And, finally, the list of changes looks longer than it is. It looks that
long because of the long descriptions about the changes. This is the
case because the documentation about DB_Table is not really up-to-date.
There were several offers of people that wanted to help improving this
situation, but unfortunately they all seem not wanting to help anymore.
