Okay...I took my 2nd round attack on the PR. I'm trying to make them more like professional PR, in the 3rd person, with standard form, and copying from Apple and others. Please have a look over for accuracy and style:
Instead of sharing comments, it will be quicker to write:
February 9, 2005 UTC -- The Inkscape developers announced today the 0.41 release of the Inkscape, a cross-platform open source vector graphics (SVG) drawing tool. This update focuses on bug fixes, stability, color bitmap-to-vector tracing capabilities, internationalization, translation refinements, pattern tiling, and improved Windows support.
"We owe deep thanks to the many users who have worked patiently with us to report the problems and validate these fixes," said Inkscape developer, Bryce Harrington.
In addition to stability improvements, developers added several new features. Inkscape's tracing functionality now can convert color and grayscale bitmap (raster) images into an editable vector graphics. Also, Inkscape adds a new clone tiler facility which creates patterns, tesselations, and other geometric tiling arrangements.
Inkscape 0.41 also has improvements to units handling, extensions, the Invert Selection command, layers selector, and icon theming.

I will stop here.
A couple comments:
- don't repeat yourself over and over again in a news release.
- attribute all superlatives to someone (and give them a title too).
