Hello, for your info, the following documentation is still missing from the release notes. If you don't add it, others will do it but may miss some things you put in that feature.
- Layer Dialog (joncruz, mental)
- details of Remove Overlaps (pjrm)
- xfig format (?) is this really implemented?
- ODG format (ishmal)
- new cursors (scislac)

Yes, I definitely will, as soon as I sleep a bit. I need it because I spent the last couple of days totally rewriting the SIOX stuff, and set up a testing and debug project for it independent of Inkscape.
So now a simple initial capability is available, where one marks the foreground. Everything else is Siox's CERTAIN_BACKGROUND_CONFIDENCE. This means that the unmarked colors will be analyzed to create a color signature for the background. The image will be subsequently analyzed and all of the contiguous areas of background color will be removed.
Siox also has a CERTAIN_FOREGROUND_CONFIDENCE markup which can improve results, but I still need to think of a way to mark that on Inkscape.
Here is a simple example: http://inkscape.org/win32/siox/howto.svg
And a patch to this morning's svn (at the /src level) to enable this is here, if anyone wants to try it: http://inkscape.org/win32/siox/siox.patch
Please give it a try. I'm going to sleep now ;-)
