Hi all,
It's been a while since our 0.45.1 release, and a ton of good new features have been added in. However, in recent months many of us have busy with new jobs, school, conferences, etc. However with summer here I'd like to hear if there is interest in seeing 0.46 released?
We certainly already have enough new stuff to release. But we have even more stuff being worked on. If we freeze now, a lot of stuff will be delayed. LPEs are out, 3D tool is most likely out too, PDF import is also unfinished, etc. I really don't think we are ready for a release right now.
Okay, so then the next opportunity for getting Inkscape out for a Ubuntu release will be next spring (April 2008).

THat is so long away! Everytime Inkscape gears up for a release, work speeds up...with no release in site, work slows down. Although, yes, Inkscape is not a time-based release system, 1 month is good if we put our minds to it...low stress inkscape anarchy style of course...
I recall a couple releases ago we were gearing up for a new release, and things didn't speed up. In fact, they came to a screeching halt because people weren't motivated to release at that time. If I recall correctly, it was actually the last time we tried to do a "fast" release.
Even though we don't have a release plan for 0.46 right now, work is chugging along nicely thanks to GSoC. However, discussing a timeframe for release would probably be wise... that way we can maintain momentum toward release once the SoC is finished.
