Another thing I'm wondering about is how much bug fixing work will be needed. For 0.43 I think we actually spent _too_ much time in bug fix mode, to the point that it almost burnt out a few people (which may be the cause for the long period between releases). Yet at the same time, much development has gone on, and we may have a lot of defects to eliminate. We'll have to find a fair balance there...
Hmm, actually it looks like the bug tracker is in quite good shape. In November last year, around the time of the 0.43 release, we had around 250-300 bugs (out of 1736 total), and today we're at 339 (out of 2068). Looks like Bulia and others have been doing well keeping on top of the tracker. That puts us in a good spot going into the release. :-)
How do people feel about the overall robustness of inkscape presently? I assume there are still some issues in recently implemented features, but beyond that do you feel there is a lot of stabilization work needed, or just a little?
