FYI: I'm abandoning the even/odd release numbering scheme in favor of using preview releases. Going forward the master branch will use the following release numbering:

* 0.11.0.alpha.N.shortsha (Not tagged)
* 0.11.0.beta.N (tagged, new features expected)
* 0.11.0.rc.N (tagged, no new features expected)

v0.11
=====
Planned Release Date: Aug 2, 2010
This is a quick iteration release. The focus on turning out
even better documentation and some stylesheet updates and
enhancements that take better advantage of the Sass 3 features.

### Docs (can be done on stable)

* Improve the design
* Better tutorials and getting started guides.
* Terminal for Designers
* Better examples & example navigation
* Contribution guide:
  * Compass stylesheets
  * Compass ruby code
  * Documentation patches
* SCSS Style Guide
* Bundler 1.0 support
* Upgrade nanoc
* Better search experience
* Search mixins and constants and code fragments that might use those.
* Awesome homepage that is better integrated with the docs.
* HTML5 the docs so they can run locally in offline mode.

### Compass Core

* Updates as necessary to the CSS3 module as the spec process develops.
* Typography module

### Blueprint

### Rails

### Other

  (Wherever opinionated layouts exist). Also, try to make one of these a plugin
  to test out the concept.
* clean up all the argument names in preparation for keyword argument support from sass.

v0.12 
=====

This release depends on Sass 3.2 and is aimed at taking advantage of
the new sass 3.2 feature set as well as really making the extensions
system come alive. Since I don't foresee any deprecations in Sass 3.2,
this will not be a coordinated release. Instead, this release will
trail Sass 3.2 by a month or two.

### Compass Core

* Figure out what to do about multiple attribute properties like background.
  Might require list and function support from sass.

### Blueprint

* If sass 3.2 is out with @function support, use that for grid
  calculations, otherwise punt to 1.0.

### Extensions

* Extension registry on compass-style.org.
* One step publishing via github + webhooks
* Easy install via CLI
* Local (per-user) extension repo with auto-discovery.
* Video showing how easy it is to create, publish, and install an extension.


v1.0 - Polaris
==============

### Blueprint

* If the @extend version of the grid is full of win, make it the default.

v2.0
====
