Does something like shooting for October 25th sound good for giving people bug fixing time (as in when we fully freeze and hand off to packagers)?
Cheers, Josh
I think this should be enough time to fix the problems that don't need invasive changes.
Some extra notes to everyone: 1. Since the Launchpad move, EVERY Inkscape developer can commit to the 0.48 branch. Just check out lp:inkscape/0.48.x and commit there. 2. If you made some non-invasive bugfixes on the trunk, apply them to the 0.48 branch as well. You can use the bzr "merge" command for cherrypicking. To cherry pick revision 1234 from the trunk to the branch, go to the 0.48.x directory and say: bzr merge -r 1233..1234 ../trunk To cherry pick more than one revision, adjust the number range to include more changes. It makes more sense when you think of changes as happening between revisions, and of revisions as tags for specific states of the tree. Therefore the command merges changes that happened between 1233 and 1234 in ../trunk into the current branch. If you need to cherry pick several changes in one commit, all merges after the first one need to use the extra parameter --force. 3. This is a stability release, so don't backport new features or refactoring work into 0.48, only bugfixes.
