  Called 1.50, and be based what is in trunk.

  No, I think the 1.x branch is basically dead - it hasn't had any significant 
updates, and I don't see much point in making a release knowing 1) it has out of 
date content 2) there are no plans to fix it 3) trunk is all that is worked on 
going forward.

  its basically releasing a product that we already know is EOL.

  I think the main thing that breaks the client right now is the lack of newmap 
setup command - that could easily be added simply for backward compatibility 
reasons (and might not be a bad idea until the next release, on the idea that by 
then, all servers should have gotten updated, and if they are not going to 
update, the client is going to break sooner or later, so may as well do it sooner)
