Mach-II 1.6.0 Development Stats - Wow!

I thought it would be interesting research a bit of a retrospective on the development of Mach-II 1.6 over the past year.  Team Mach-II has decided to make some changes in how we schedule features and enhancements for future releases in order make more frequent releases of the framework instead of larger less frequent releases.  For example even though Mach-II 1.6 was released in early February 2009, the next release of Mach-II which is code named "Simplicity" should be released as Beta in March.

As the stats below indicate, there was a lot of effort put into Mach-II 1.6 by Team Mach-II.  We really discuss, plan and research all the new features that go into Mach-II.  So there are countless hundreds of hours that have been put into the development of the project that go uncounted below.  This happens because we don't engineer any of our features haphazardly instead it almost because an obsessive compulsive desire to make things work "just right".  This is one of the hidden "features" of Mach-II which is the quality of the framework and the effort behind it mostly goes unseen by most users of the framework.  I personally want to say thank you to the rest of the team for all of your efforts into this release. Without further ado, let's get to the stats (and yes, if you know me, I love the "stats"):
