Thanks for submitting this. We have a tonne of projects that shipped major version releases in January so we have to give preference to those. We'd love to feature this project, so please submit when you have version 1.0 and we can feature it 😄

@mishmanners Hey, to be clear, this is "our" 1.0.

For most projects 1.0 is the first stable version.

For us, since we're a fork that continues the previous versioning scheme, the 1.6.0 release is the first stable version of the project.

It's not semver, and you could effectively interpret it as 6.0 (the versioning scheme uses the first two numbers as the "major" version).

Oh that makes a lot more sense! I'll update the form for that in future. Blog post has already been sent to editors for this month though.

Do you think we could get into next month's issue? @mishmanners

[mishmanners]

We feature the previous months releases. So the next issue will feature February releases.

Alright, will submit once we release the next major version, then!
