[Xastir] Stable release plus version numbering

[Curt, WE7U]

I think we should put out a stable release as soon as possible.

This seems like a good time to do it as it has been some months
since the last, plus the codebase has been fairly stable, with
mostly bug-fixes going in for a while.

This is just a feeler to see if anyone has any major headaches with
it.  If not, how about a release date sometime in the first couple
of weeks of April?

This would either be release 1.8.6 or we could start using the
recommended numbering scheme and go with 2.0:

The third digit is supposed to be patch levels for a release, as in
major.minor.patch numbering.  If we adopted this strategy then we
could go with 2.1 for our next development version and 2.2 for the
following stable release.

Thoughts?
