Well, it’s finally happened. We’ve worked on Discourse long enough to have [ten official releases](https://meta.discourse.org/c/releases) in slightly under four years! 🎉

> Discourse 1.0 – [Aug 26, 2014](https://blog.discourse.org/2014/08/introducing-discourse-1-0/)  
> Discourse 2.0 – [May 31, 2018](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/05/discourse-2-0-released/)

Harkening to classic roman/greek era definitions of “forum” ..

.. we chose [the list of ten Attic orators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attic_orators) way back when to tag the releases with something kinda fun and Discourse-y.

- [Aeschines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeschines) 1.1
- [Andocides](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andocides) 1.2
- [Antiphon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiphon_(person)) 1.3
- [Demosthenes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demosthenes) 1.4
- [Dinarchus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinarchus) 1.5
- [Hypereides](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypereides) 1.6
- [Isaeus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaeus) 1.7
- [Isocrates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isocrates) 1.8
- [Lycurgus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycurgus_of_Athens) 1.9
- [Lysias](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysias) 2.0

Try to imagine this person is pressing the Reply button with his free hand:

And this is also why our [staff pictures](https://www.discourse.org/team) are styled as classic marble statues / busts.

Discourse is fundamentally about _human communication_, which funnily enough literally translates to “running to and fro”:

So we now need a new set of release codenames, which I’ll describe in a reply.
