Thanks for the updates, I've added the notes to December's news item about this.

partially done. done: dialogs, text as path works in progress (with help of simarilius) blur as bitmap issues: 1) there where problems reported related to cairo exporter, 2) export of text does not work in PS back-end, 3) sync options with
command
line parameters
Could you outline the plan of how this will be achieved in the next week? How is Simarilius' time availability? If he's busy, is there someone else with time that could help?
Also, if this work did not get done, does this result in a regression compared with 0.45.1? (I'm guessing not, but figured it should be asked.) If we're clear in listing it as a "known issue", how significant of a hinderance will this be for users? Are there ways they could achieve the effect manually or with an extension, or workaround the lack some other way?
Thanks, Bryce
An early patch is committed that does "normal shape" containing blur in the PS via cairo exporter. Many thanks to simarilius! current issues, in the order of the priority: 1)add additional needed transformations 2)implement this code in the PDF via cairo exporter, 3)fix the problem that bbox for is truncated https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168385 and others 4)test on all items for blur(filters) 5)review code help needed on 2)-probably Miklosh? 3) probably Niko Kiiralahttps://bugs.launchpad.net/%7Ekiirala? and 5) HTH, Adib.
