4. Feature Freeze √ Stable Branch is forked from Mainline Regular development resumes on Mainline. Avoid major refactorings on Mainline. Only bug fixes committed to Stable Branch. Bug fixes are cherrypicked from Mainline. Inkscape must pass 'make distcheck' String Freeze No further string changes allowed on Stable Branch. Finalize tutorials to be shipped with release Finalize other docs included in the release Finalize about screen Finalize Release Notes except Known Issues Translators work on translations.

Inkscape has completed the Frost phase and is moving into Freeze.
Translators, please fire up your engines! You have (at least) until Nov 18th to commit translation updates to the stable branch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ A stable branch lp:inkscape/0.91.x has been split off of trunk. Only strict bug fixes and translations may be committed to this branch; for anything else please seek release manager approval (Josh or Bryce).
# Stable branch bzr clone lp:inkscape/0.91.x inkscape-0.91-stable
You will need to check this out only if you intend to check in fixes to the stable branch.
IMPORTANT: Do not make changes to translatable strings in the stable branch. If it is critical that a string change be made, please get approval from the release managers first!
------------------------------------------------------------------------ The lp:inkscape branch (trunk) is now open for regular development towards the 0.92.x series.
# Development branch bzr clone lp:inkscape
You don't need to do anything with your current branch if you just want to keep committing to the development branch.
Congrats to everyone that helped us get this far, Bryce
