1.4.5++

Looking at the ChangeLog, I think we have the usual plethora of new, cool 
things.  I don't think we have any killer feature that really warrants the 
1.5.0 moniker.  It's certainly not the huge change that 1.4.0 was from 1.3.9.

Current SVN *does* have a huge amount of changes from 1.4.0, enough that I'd 
have no hesitation saying that if we compared current SVN to 1.4.0, it should 
definitely be called 1.5.0.  Perhaps unfortunately, we've rolled these new 
features and changes out incrementally in minor releases (as we usually do), 
so I think we'd lose something in the eyes of our regular users if we promote 
the next release as 1.5.0 and the amount of changes is akin to one of our 
normal minor releases.
