It has been a while since the last formal version of Inkscape.
Any chance of a new one coming out anytime soon?
I have been watching the mailing lists, but not see much about a new version.
Yes, there's been some talk about this on IRC and Jabber recently. Last month we had a thread where we thought April might be a good time to get started on a release.
Probably a good first step is to get a status on work currently in progress, so we can give folks the time needed to wrap things up, before we get into freezes and such.
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...
