At this point it looks like the most major issues I care about have been addressed on the Inkscape side -- I think it's making all the right cairo calls for what it needs to export at this point. The problem is that cairo still isn't up to snuff.
Okay, well let's go ahead then.
I don't think we can release as is. In 0.44, we had PDF export which supported transparency - it had bugs but it basically worked. Current Cairo-PDF export simply rasterizes it. It's not acceptable.
Mental, can you just restore the old PDF export that you removed? Then we can release with it (by the way it had several bugfixes compared to 0.44) and switch to Cairo for one of the next versions when it's progressed enough.
