The 0.38 release seems to have been quite well received. It's interesting that most of the features people are wishing for are things already in development or planned for development in the near future, so it looks like there's good synchronicity between our users and developers.
Lines of Code in src/: 115,901 167,386 177,286 185,126 183,694 Code lines 131,540 138,457 144,628 143,662
I'd just like to point out that the reason the number of lines is decreasing is due to me removing dead code and replacing all the various Point, Matrix and Rect forms with a single unified set in preparation for fred and my new Path datatype. I have nearly removed all dependance on libart, and am working towards removing libnr and libnrtype, to be replaced with livarot and pango. Our code has become a big ball of string and we would be foolish to continue wrapping more bits of twine on if we want inkscape to remain managable.
People always get excited about new code additions, but I think we should be looking at code removal a little more in this release :)
