Hey all,
We're roughly 6 weeks behind the proposed schedule... not good, but could be worse. If we stick to it, things could shape up nicely.
A quick update... here is the one thing that MUST be done before moving to Freeze... posting of an "alpha" tarball.
The following outstanding issues HAVE to be addressed to not be cut (and most unfortunately have not been addressed fully during Frost): *Jon's swatches MUST be initially editable in the F&S dialog. *Jon's new Input Devices dialog needs whatever polish to be good enough (I saw regressions from 0.47 mentioned recently in the tracker). *Jon's "UX" work (specifically UI placement needs to be settled). *Tavmjong's LinuxFund text tool work (we'll take what we can get, great progress has been made!). *Felipe Sanches' color management work. The "not real" (device) cmyk thing MUST be addressed prior to release. I'm not saying to remove, but perhaps disable, it is a part of the SVG spec, but it's not how the CMYK workflow actually works.
Now is the time to bring up other possibly blocker bugs. Please speak up... things that can be fixed in point releases and that aren't critical/high priority should not be brought up.
Cheers, Josh
