With the addition of mime processing, the version number is due for an 
increase.  0.9.1.2 is getting a bit old (nearly a whole month) and we 
certainly have newer and better and more capable code.

What comes after 0.9.1.2?  The two prime candidates are 0.9.2 and 1.0.0.

Regarding algorithms, I think tuning will continue for a long time.  I've 
been using Fisher since 0.9.1.2 was released and I'm very pleased with 
it.  I wouldn't mind making it the default.
