I already had a chat with Holger whether we name it Build18 or 1.0 - initially I wanted to make it 1.0, but with all the improvements and changes waiting in different branches, I am not sure, whether we should wait one more release 1.0 - however if we switch to SDL 2.0 with the release after Build18, we could directly go Widelands 2.0 as well ;).
