1. The developers obviously thought that the changes since 0.84 were significant enough to release a new version, and obviously hoped that people would upgrade to 0.85.
2. Since the release, there were a number of small bugs/problems that were posted to the list.
Let me also state that I use clam on a very small install, so the time investment really isn't even a problem,it's just my tendency to wait a while after a release of any software is available. In addition, I'm running FreeBSD and I have to wait for the port to be updated no matter what (I prefer using ports by personal choice), so perhaps it's academic in any case.
But the question should have been: in the viewpoint of the developers, are the changes since 0.84 significant enough to warrant upgrading to a 0.85 even with the known bugs that have been discussed? Or is there a release planned to correct the ".85-specific" bugs (if they are bugs) in the near future that might be worth waiting for. To me, it would be a case of weighing known fixes against new bugs and deciding what's more important. Just my thoughts.
Either way, it's a great product, and my thanks again to the developers.
