Project options -> Default Namespace.

You've been able to set the projects default namespace since well before 1.0 :-)

It's initalised with the project's name when the project's created,
but not changed automatically if you rename the project.

Between 1.0 and 1.9 this feature was added: there's a checkbox next to
the "Default Namespace" field in the project options.
