I think we need a pre3 today. Several important fixes went in, and Mrdocs promised to (finally!) make static RPMs for it.
Just a precious few things remain to be done before we can enter freeze:
1 add a dialog asking for a name of a new layer to create, with a couple of checkboxes "Make a sublayer" and "Move selection to the new layer" (I think Mental could use help on this one, it's a simple task for someone)
2 fix two crasher bugs:
- 1056658 win98: crash on save (msvcrt error box) (JonCruz)
- 1059059 crach autopackage 0.4, may be a dupe of 1064399
3 fix the several portability bugs (actually I think mental handled them already)
That's the minimum, the more bugs we fix the better. But this minimum is minimal enough already, which is good news. Let's all make one final push.
