This release brings default theme to Misago, together with redesigned posts, threads and categories lists. This theme lives in the "flavor" directory in Misago styles and defines only decorative stylesheets, thus making it easy to remove and revert Misago back to its "Bootstrap" looks for custom theme development.

It also fixes few bugs, including potential show-stopper on categories list that could result by deletion of last thread in category.

Hot on heels of alpha 10 I'm releasing Alpha 11. This release fixes events always displaying "new event flag".

I'm hoping to quit alphas with next release, and then stick to forever beta, releasing features and deprecations as 0.X + 1 versions form then on.

How do you define the mainstream?

Misago aims to be stable and complete forum solution. That's the goal in nutshell.

I have little in the matter of target audience on mind, but targeting python fans first seems safest bet until community arises around the project and helps out with howtos, answering questions or changes that make deploying simple.
