Jeremy,

Whoa! We're not that formal. :-) The entire LDM project has less than one 
person working on it. Consequently, it's more a matter of accumulating enough 
changes (for whatever reasons) to justify making a release. Occasionally, 
something arises that necessitates a sustained development effort (often 
motivated by a report from a user). Also, it's sometimes the case that the 
first release of a new feature has a bug (the code predates contemporary unit-, 
regression-, and integration-testing); consequently, several bug-fix releases 
can come soon after.

The current history of LDM releases can be found at

Why do you ask?
