4. Versioning questions

We had two teams working
in parallel
Beat on CB 2.0 roadmap
(new CB Library, XML
engine, upgraded
API, etc.)
 Kyle on CB 1.10 roadmap
(new core features, new
fe/be styling, lots of new
features)

As both efforts showed
substantial progress the
two streams have been
merged, so we are releasing
CB 2.0 directly
