It is already October 18, and 1.9 isn't even out yet. I'm not hating Notch or anything like that because I don't care either way. But I have to ask this question. Will 1.10 even be out before the release in November? Being halfway through October already, there might not be a 1.10, depending on what Mojang decides to put in the update.
I just wanted your thoughts, and like I said, don't hate on me, 'cause I'm not hating on anybody.
From what I've read and seen the plan was for 1.9 to come out before the full release and then they would either call the full release 1.10/2.0/or just plain Minecraft
There won't even be a 1.9 release. Like cecilhowe said, they'll continue to have pre-releases (which from now till Minecraft 1.0 will be entirely bug fixes) and after Minecon, the first version of real Minecraft will be released.

There will be 0 releases other than more 1.9 pre releases in between now and the full release, on Nov. 18th.
