Remaining serious bugs:
- Some inkboard crashes, one of which may indicate a security issue. Inkboard isn't enabled by default, so I suggest we merely mention these in the release notes but not let them hold up the release.
Yes, please mention them.
- Various Windows issues. I'll let someone else comment on whether any of these should hold up the release.
Do you have bug tracker links?
- Connector crashes.
I think we'll have to release with these. If they are fixable in the short term, we may consider 0.43.1.
I haven't yet changed anything in the newly-created branch like changing version numbers. See http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CreatingDists for a list of things to change now that the branch has been created.
I think you can go ahead with that.
BTW what is the command to commit to that new branch? I'll need it later today to commit the edited ru.po.
Release notes seem OK from a brief scan. There's an entry there marked `pjrm' which I'm just addressing now.
One very important issue is whether we have Effects on by default or not. This must be mentioned. For me, too, Effects menu is visible after I delete preferences.xml, but Ted says it can't be so. Please try to figure out what's going on.
Still need to transcribe to NEWS, but this can wait until ReleaseNotes (http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes) is quiescent. Bulia notes:
1 Ask everyone on jabber to read http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes, copyedit, fill what is missing, spell-check.
2 Do
elinks -dump -no-numbering -no-references http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes > NEWS
or in any other way convert it to plain text in the NEWS file.
3 Commit NEWS to CVS.
Just don't forget to commit it to the branch.
Screenshots: I'm not up-to-date on this yet. There has been some progress reported over the last couple of days, but I don't know where we stand.
All OK, lots of nice screenshots now.
Updated tutorials: Patch tracker items still open in places where HTML hasn't been put in inkscape_web/. One of the open patch tracker items is where we're waiting on the source XML file for an SVG version. (For the moment I haven't even put the generated SVG file into CVS, in case the XML file is changed in the meantime, but we could use the given SVG version if we don't get the XML file soon.)
And these will need to be committed both to the branch and to HEAD.
Please keep us posted on the progress.
