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...
