Because it is 0.0.4, actually.
And I'm very thankful to Andreas Pour for setting things up, I guess it took 
quite a long time, because the release was over a week ago.
Only the authors are listed incorrectly, but this will be fixed soon.

Nah.
Bugfixes in the sense of patchlevels would go like 0.0.4pl1, 0.0.4pl2...
Bugfixes in the sense of Debian would go like 0.0.4-2, 0.0.4-3 etc.
It's not a stable release (0.1 will be of "beta" quality, for example), but 
it's useful for playing games already.
We're not Microsoft or Yahoo or Blizzard to release bad-working online games 
stuff with high version numbers.
The next version (0.0.5) will already provide Transport Layer Security, and I 
will still call it "alpha".
To be serious, bugfixes make only sense for (relatively) stable releases, so 
I could imagine a 1.0.2 for the far future as an improved 1.0 version, but 
right now I'm glad enough to fulfil all the wishlist items which have reached 
me so far - they're even more than bug reports :-)

Although the priority right now for me is the LinuxTag, so this is what I'm 
working on. Yesterday I tried to create a little GL app, but I could let it 
crash (reproducible), so I spent the rest of the evening with downloading X11 
and Mesa, to run the latest and greatest there :-)
I hope the error is not in Qt (it crashes after about 70000 update paint 
cycles).
