Yes we decided for a while the next version would be 1.0 then we changed our mind. All happened in master and was not released, so I don't see the problem here;

I am still available for any help. Circus is young but works for our needs. If you are happily using Supervisord, that's fine - but keeping on posting your negative experience on HN from 3 months ago without having tried the tool recently --while we addressed to my knowledge all the bugs you mention-- is a bit inapropriate imho
We're still using Circus under production loads, and we're still seeing it go unresponsive and chew through a ton of CPU. Unfortunately we haven't been able to reliably reproduce it, so until we can, it's not something we can fix.
