Short question:Where's OA 0.9.0  ???

I think that 0.9.0 will probably never released. Am i wrong ??

Infact, there's some work on OA3, more info here:

There won't be 0.9.0. 0.8.8 is the final release of the 0.X branch.
We're now heading towards OA3.

Maybe 0.9.0 may be released in case we would find a texture and shader artist that would conclude the work on q3 textures replacement. Do you know one?

Udi was working in the texture replacements, alongside **HD, but since Aftershock's fall I'm not sure what is the status of that project.

I sent Udi a PM last April, and he mentioned a lot of tasks/jobs/projects he had in real life. But he also said that "he still plans to finish it". Many months passed since April, maybe we may ask for news again? I have no contact with **HD.

Personally, I would really like to have a "final" OA 0.x version, with some bugs fixed and the Q3 textures job done, before the OA3 reboot.
Unfortunately, I don't know C++, and I suck with textures and shaders (when I did some shaders for my own map, I started from existing OA shaders, and although I was checking the Q3 shader manual, I only partially understood what I was actually doing), so I can't really help much in that.
