So in general 0.39 would be a much more development focused release, and we'll encourage deep work on internals that we've discouraged previously due to stability concerns. We will advertise 0.39 as more of an experimental release and encourage users needing a high level of stability to stick with 0.38.
How does this approach sound?
That sounds like an excellent plan. Perhaps you should designate alternate releases as feature focused (odd) and bugfix (even) to create a nice balance between forward development and a well tested, stable application.
I could see Inkscape having a lot of success with such a model.
Yup, not a bad idea. I figured having them every few releases may be sufficient, since the team seems to do pretty well at getting bug reports closed already. Guess we can keep this alternating approach in mind, and see how it goes, and adjust as we find ncessary.
Btw, in discussing the roadmap with bulia and mental, we decided to make the Pango adoption be the focus of the next release. Bulia pointed out that we have a number of still-open bugs and several RFE's that are dependent on having that.
