We're nearly done with 0.92.0 - great work everyone and thanks especially to everyone fixing up bugs and updating translations.
Final RC will be cut Wed the 28th. Translation updates are ok to continue landing until then. Bug fixes please check with me and expect some friendly pushback. :-)
I'd like the final RC to be identical to what we release, so we don't release with anything untested. So ideally there should be NO changes after the 28th. In practice some minor polish is probably acceptable; but if there are any significant changes we'll need to do further RC's.
The 0.92.0 release will happen this weekend or very early next week, assuming we don't need further RC's. We need short turnarounds for packaging so we can get announcements out swiftly. I think we can do it.
We can start planning for a 0.92.1 release. There's a healthy amount of energy going into bug fixing right now, and our users will appreciate if we continue. Some fixes will need string changes, so I'll propose we also encourage translation updates. I would like to shoot for early February with this release.
Additionally, a focus for 0.92.1 could be on bug management tools. I.e., warning dialogs, workarounds, and bug reporting helper scripts. Josh mentioned that having a button to reset old prefs could work around some mesh problems, and I'm betting there's more we could do like that.

I'd like to push to rescale the distributed example files to 96 dpi before the 0.92 release. Doesn't look good to distribute examples that announce they are an old format on opening.
If the changes are limited to the example files, and none of the strings in the example files are changed, that sounds safe enough for landing. Let me know if you can get the work completed by Wednesday.
