Thanks Bryce,
Can you add release status/readiness? I think we're sitting on a very nearly complete release and it might just need the umbilical cord cut.
Martin,
Alright, if we have time. The main things right now are review of the state of the mesh gradient feature (above), checking the status on the dpi scaling bug, and if there's any remnant followup to track for the about screen. Hopefully there haven't been any other new release blocker bugs identified.
Mesh gradients are pretty much ready to go. There is still some work being done on improving the interface but if nothing else is added it would not be a real problem. (Jabier has a nice improvement to help keep track of what handle corresponds to which corner node but it needs a bit of polishing.)
As for the dpi scaling issue, my code for handling legacy files is already in both trunk and 0.92. Jabier is almost ready with his alternative approach. He's got a couple of buglets to fix but it should be ready real soon. The plan is to offer the user both options (one adds a 'viewBox', the other scales the objects inside the file). Note that we'll need to ping the translators as soon as this is settled.
I figure there should probably be one last RC before we do the final release. I can cut that RC whenever.
Definitely. Let's shoot for the end of next week.

We also need to assemble a press team to write the press release and notify news sites and so on.
