Hello ,Help me... Sad..When will Bitcoin core 1.0 release out?
There has been no announcement yet. It's purely speculation at this point.

Besides a long buglist, there are still several great ideas worth of consideration, and until they have been vetted and proven or rejected outright, it is hard to say Bitcoin is "done" and now in maintenance mode.

Well due to how versions are handled in the code, 0.99 is the last possible subversion. So at least there's an upper bound for you. Tongue
Nah, we just have to fix how versions are handled in the code before 0.100 Wink

1. thoroughly solve 51% problem
This is a social problem, not a technical problem. It cannot be "fixed" by technical means, by definition.

2. eliminate the risk of accepting zero confirmation
Not likely to be possible.

2. eliminate the risk of accepting zero confirmation
3. reward mechenisim of  the long term full node owner

Can you cite a single core developer suggesting that any of these are targeted or even solvable problems?

4. allow user to run a SPV intellectual node

What does this mean?

Bitcoin core is just a wallet :p

He sure did.  You can still see his Bitcoin v0.1 Alpha release notes on Sourceforge.

We're currently at Bitcoin Core 0.9 What will it take to get to 1.0?

Edit: Not the wallet, the protocol.

I don't really distinguish between the wallet (Bitcoin Core) and the protocol regarding the status "beta" simply because Bitcoin Core is currently viewed as the reference implementation of the protocol.

I'm sure we'll see Bitcoin Core 0.10, 0.11, and 0.12 first if this remark by Gavin from 2012 is anything to go by:

The things on my "good enough to be called 1.0" list are:

+ easy enough for my grandma to use
+ secure enough that it'd be hard for my grandma to lose her bitcoins, even if her computer is infected by 11 bitcoin-stealing trojans and then catches fire and explodes.
+ past the December block-reward-drops-to-25

The protocol is pretty solid, (other than the PoW mining non-sense, but mining is another topic). It's probably already mass adoption ready, other than some minor tweaks and bugfix.

The QT wallet on the other hand, is actually becoming worse and worse, it had better performance probably 3 years ago than now, and performance is deteriorating rapidly. Soon it will require 40GB of free space, a top of the line CPU, and a good amount of RAM, just to run the QT wallet for the first time, and then expect to wait days until it could start working. But then again, no new user is really using QT wallet nowadays I guess.

Would be nice to see it exit beta to be honest because I feel it has enough exposure now to come out of beta and may be move to 1.0 so I am unsure as to why they have not considered moving up to 1.0 yet.

I was actually asking myself this question a few days ago. "When will bitcoin exit beta?"

Seems it sure has had a lot of media and world wide involvement to still be in beta.
