7.4 - no further development
8.3 - Mar 2012
9.1 - May 2012
8.4 - July 2012
9.2 - Sep 2012=20
8.5 - Nov 2012
9.3 - Jan  2013
8.6 - Mar 2013=20
9.4 - May 2013
8.7 - July 2013 - Final release
9.5 - Sep 2013
10.0 - Nov 2013
9.6   - Jan 2014
10.1 - Mar 2014

Although, I'm not sure a release every two months would be practical.
