Re: [Inkscape-devel] Hard Freeze for 0.91

20 Nov 2014

      I mentioned removing it (like the mirror-extrapolate), but I think 
Martin told us that some people depend on it, i.e. if we remove it it 
will break people's files.
Of course, such is the risk of using a development version; but it is 
not very nice.
If we keep it in: I'm all for another name. It is just a suggestion from 
the technical creator. If people have other ideas, that'd be great. 
Technically, (iirc), the parameter sets the 'beta' for the whole curve.
The UI name is not so important, we can always change that after. But 
the SVG name, we can't. Having it called "CubicBezierBeta" in SVG I 
think would be fine.
A potential problem is that it is the only interpolator that needs a 
parameter. If we create another interpolator that needs a parameter, I'm 
not sure if the current thing is set up well for that.

Johan,
What are your reservations about removing it? What are your
reservations about naming it something aside from Beta? Are you
planning to change it but want users to have it available in the
interim?
Cheers,
Josh

This is good news.
However, PowerStroke's "CubicBezierJohan" issue still stands. We either
have to remove it for now, or we should rename this to
"CubicBezierBeta"? (In the UI, and also in the XML representation)
thanks,

Hard freeze.   √  Only Release Wardens can commit to Stable Branch

Inkscape has completed Feature Freeze and String Freeze, and is now
moving to Hard Freeze.
Translators, thanks for your efforts.  If there are any late
translations please coordinate with Jazzynico, and submit them to him
for committing.  We're down to the wire though so don't delay!
Developers, at this point only Josh and I should be committing to the
tree.  We'll accept patches if they're either a) obviously safe and a
useful fix, or b) more complex but fix a particularly severe bug.
In either case, please make sure the fix is already applied to the 0.92
branch, and then send Josh and I a backported patch ready to be landed
on 0.91.
Josh will follow up with our evaluation of blocker bugs.  Things
actually look to be in fairly good shape.  If anyone has a bug they want
to raise as a blocker, now's the time to do it!
Since we're in a new stage of the release, I'll cut one last
pre-release tarball.
Bryce
P.S. We're also going to need to do some marketing work to publicise the
release, and I'm thinking we should establish a formal marketing team.
I'll try to organize something soon; if you're interested in joining
early, or have ideas to consider in the meantime, please shoot me an
email.
