I wasn't intentionally keeping it keeping it quiet.  <smile/>

I'm still struggling to figure out the best way to use the communication 
outlets provided on SourceForge.  If you go to the SourceForge page for WiX 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/ you'll see a mention in the news there and 
that the project as a whole is marked "5 - Production/Stable".

I just discovered last week that the "build process" for the WiX web site has a 
bug in it that was preventing a number of pages from being updated.  That's a 
bug I hope to fix this week.

That's great news, thanks Rob.

Why keep so quiet about it though? I'd have thought the first formal WiX 
release would have had a bit of a fanfare. My main interest in scanning this 
list of late has been watching for an announcement of v2.0 being released, but 
I don't think it's been mentioned here at all before this. I may have missed it 
of course, but I can't find it in the archive either. Similarly, no mention in 
the "Latest news" section on the project web site at 
http://wix.sourceforge.net/ or anywhere else on that site that I can find - 
that's the other place I check occasionally.
