So, quick update

I have a list of three items that we should address before a
0.92.2 release. The first two are "simple" bugs which I think are
too bad to ship another release with them (i.e. "blockers"):
- Windows print bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1665768
).
Our mingw-w64 based builds (devlibs64 and MSYS2) currently
crash for many people when attempting to print. I was finally
able to reproduce the bug on a machine I control, so I hope
I'll be able to debug it soon. I'll keep you updated. (Any
help is obviously appreciated)
I was able to come up with a cairo patch that avoids the crash:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101833
Unfortunately I have no experience with cairo, so I don't really
know if what I'm doing makes sense and there was no answer by
cairo-devs yet, so I'm unsure on how to proceed...
The prints I tested with the patched cairo show some weird issues
with clipping which might highlight a more fundamental issue though,
so there's still work to do, but at least we can provide a build
that does not crash when printing...
- Line height bugs (there were more than one if I'm not
mistaken): What's the current status on them?
I was not actively involved in the discussions and have never
touched the relevant code, but from my own experiences and
comments from a lot of people at work this is a serious
deal-breaker for any productive work. I'd like to ask
everybody who knows that part of our codebase and/or tracked
the bugs/reports to make 100% sure they're all sorted out and
report back!
No comments on this issue? Who was looking into the line-height
bug(s)?
I don't want to nag but this is one of these issues that have the
potential to produce very bad PR if we don't get it right for yet
another release!
