Yes, I meant to mention that one.
... Linux format had both inkscape 0.42 (dont know if it was 0.42.2) and the OCAL release on the DVD, didnt fancy spending £6.50 on a magazine about an OS i dont use so cant tell you what packages they put on there.
Which OS is it that you don't use? Gentoo?
It might be an idea to check whether Linux Format are planning to put version 0.43 (think autopackage http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CompilingAutopackage )
anyway, the press releases seem to be working, and the articles seem to be positive, full of praise for the gradient editing and text improvements.
An interesting problem in any development is getting people to critique it.
Your friends may be prepared to look at and use the development, but will not often give criticisms. Magazines often ignore and will not publish reviews of below average software.
We have to go out there and look for negative comments, as they are not available just for the taking.
