## AI overview

## Source excerpt

Yes, you read it well, el-get currently features 174 recipes, and is now reaching the 1.1 release. The reason for this release is mainly that I have two big chunks of code to review and the current code has been very stable for awhile. It seems better to do a release with the stable code that exists now before to shake it this much. If you're wondering when to jump in the water and switch to using el-get, now is a pretty good time.
