Re: [Inkscape-devel] Release 0.92 plan

Hi Nicolas, I totally agree! One of Inkscapes biggest weaknesses are regressions.  While a new release often brings many exciting new features that people  would like to play around with, there are often severe regressions that  not only cancel those achievements but even leave users with mixed to  negative feelings about the new release. If we could sort out the worst  regressions the profit would therefore be disproportional. Best example is bug 1571192 [1] (severe performance regression in GTK2  builds caused by some - in principle very welcome - GTK3 fixes during  the hackfest). I had used trunk builds for my productive work for quite  some time now. Since this regression I stopped using them and even  returned to stable 0.91 builds on some machines. For me a 0.92 release  without a fix for that issue would be worthless, despite the many great  features and improvements it would offer. Therefore also the slightly  off-topic question: Are you making any progress on this issue Krzysztof? I hope I can have a look at some bugs, but I don't have too much time  right now... Also German translation needs some more work which is  probably as important as fixing bugs now that we're in string freeze...
