Unlikely, the version number's been 31. ever since the massive rewrite and the second number goes up by one with every update no matter the content. Though Toady has hinted that a new version naming system might be used soon^{[Citation Needed]}.

Here's the quote I think you're referring to:

word of toad

I don't read that quote as saying that the current numbering scheme will go out the window, just that the number is no longer being calculated strictly by completed core features.  And the major version number will go up for this release.

My memory wins again!

Of course, all that means is that around 33.3% of what Bay 12 have thought up so far has been implemented.

No, it's 33% of what they feel is important to the game. Other stuff can come after we get to 1.0 even if it's already thought up.

The old Dev Single page expressly included planned ideas that were to be implemented AFTER version 1.0 was completed.

Yep! Those're the long-term arcs a short way down this page:

'course, we'll be getting little bits and pieces of some of them long before v1; the necromancers in the next release can be considered the very first steps of the Magic and the Wizard arcs, for instance, and we've had a (very rudimentary) world painter for a while.

Mind you, that page is outdated.

I put it at -200% before 1.0 is released; at least 2 total rewrites will occur.

Didn't a rewrite already occur when Toady switched from straight up C to C++?

I suppose this depends on what you define a rewrite as.

The switch to 3d, that practically a rewrite.

The 2010 release stuff, was almost as much as a rewrite as the switch to 3d.

I think the project is about 21.2-23% complete as of this writing (re: version 1).
