[Inkscape] [Inkscape-devel] inkscape-0.92pre0 source tarball
by Bryce Harrington 25 May '16

Another pre-release is now available for testing from the source downloads page: https://inkscape.org/en/download/source/ The release is: 0.92pre1 Source Tarball Bzip https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/9633/inkscape-0.92pre1.tar.bz2 This is an early preview of our upcoming release and as such can be expected to have some stability issues or incomplete features. See Inkscape's bug tracker for a list of known issues. == Translation == We are now in String Freeze. All translators should strive to bring the language files up to date. Please aim to get all translation work committed by mid-June. == Packaging == Packagers for Linux, Windows, and OSX should use this source tarball for creating packages for their respective platforms. I strongly urge all packagers to test their packaging scripts at this time and generate packages for pre1. Please report to this thread with your status in getting the packages made, so I can identify where help is needed. Note that this was produced using the new cmake system, and the autoconfig build files are not included in this dist; if you require the autoconfig system for your platform you can still generate an autoconfig tarball from our VCS trunk, however you should prioritize shifting to cmake as we will be dropping autoconfig in the future 0.93 release. I plan to continue post further pre-releases on a roughly 1-2 week cadence until we feel the codebase is stable enough for the final release, which would be late June at the earliest. == About Screen == Hopefully a contest for the about screen should start up soonish? In the interim, and as a contingency in case it doesn't happen, could someone modify the 0.91 about screen to say 0.92pre? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks, Bryce

The alpha for Inkscape 0.92, inkscape-0.92pre0, is released and available for testing from the Download page: https://inkscape.org/en/download/source/ The release is: 0.92pre0 Source Tarball Bzip https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/9591/inkscape-0.92pre0.tar.bz2 This is an early preview of our upcoming release and as such can be expected to have some stability issues or incomplete features. See Inkscape's bug tracker for a list of known issues. == Translation == Translators are encouraged to start looking at translation work. String freeze will be in one week (May 22nd), but the i18n POT file has been updated in trunk and we do not anticipate any serious changes between now and string freeze so please feel free to start preparing your language translations. Please aim to get all translation work committed by mid-June. == Packaging == Packagers for Linux, Windows, and OSX should use this source tarball for creating packages for their respective platforms. Note that this was produced using the new cmake system, and the autoconfig build files are not included in this dist; if you require the autoconfig system for your platform you can still generate an autoconfig tarball from our VCS trunk, however you should prioritize shifting to cmake as we will be dropping autoconfig in the future 0.93 release. I plan to post further pre-releases on a roughly weekly cadence until we feel the codebase is stable enough for the final release, which would be late June at the earliest. == About Screen == An About Screen contest should be started at this time - Josh, you've run this contest in the past, will you be available to do it again for 0.92? Can the contest be organized to complete by mid-June or do you think it would require more time than that? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks, Bryce
