Developers,
As someone how changed the line-height code prior to release, I feel somewhat responsible for the issue in 0.92. I really didn't have enough time to focus on bugs before the release, but should have spent more time on things I'd changed. I'm really sorry Inkscape.
This thread isn't for figuring out how we're going to solve the issue though. I'll let the 0.91.1 discussion cover that.
What I'd like to pick apart is our bug management and how a release blocker like this line-height issue didn't put an all stop on our release schedule while we figured it out.
There's a couple of possibilities:
1. The bug wasn't discovered in time 2. The bug wasn't reported in time 3. The reported bug wasn't triaged in time 4. The bug wasn't prioritised as important 5. There wasn't a way to communicate a major issue to the release manager. 6. We just didn't have the resources to do the release properly and let things slide.
What information can Mc and su_v add about the issue? What can we fix to make the process better?
I feel bad asking for your help to really figure this out, but I think this might help us as a project overall if we know what happened and how to defend against it.
Thanks everyone.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
