0.50 is the pre-release, and 0.51 will be the CBF version. There's 
nothing magic about number 0.50. Actually 0.51 is a much better looking 
version number in my arbitrary opinion ;)

Seriously, my hope is that we will have so frequent releases from now on 
that nobody will even remember version 0.50 in 6 months.
