Ted,
Will you please push a Pre3? This will be the last pre-release before the final release. Thank you!

Everyone else,
This is the new thread to bring up any remaining blocker bugs, as it seems like almost all have been addressed. Let's also not forget, anything that can be lived with for a short period should not be considered a blocker. We do want to get 0.47 out, so we can get onto what can hopefully be a relatively short cycle for 0.48 (and then however many point releases we need until 0.49).
Two important things left to fix:
1. Bug 382313 Image Filter broken for external images.
The problem is with the matrix inversion routine in lib2geom which compares the matrix determinant to a number that is too large to determine if the matrix is singular. The thread on the lib2geom-devel mailing list about this problem has died out. Unless they speak up with a fix, I can propose the attached patch which I've used for the past month to get around the problem.
2. Bug 179452 export to openclipart.org in dev version
Export to OCAL appears to be broken. The entry for this should be removed from the File menu. It would be quite an embarrassing thing to have a main menu item not work. (I would propose permanently removing this feature as using the OCAL web interface to upload pictures is more practical and is not subject to changes on OCAL's end.)
