I think it's probably okay to include 0.91 features too. I doubt people would be inclined to call it out, especially since there have been definite improvements to most of these features since the 0.91 release.

I think that the ruler and angle measurer tool are awesome (even though they were new for the 0.91 release and not the 0.92). Rotate canvas tool, panel to show all objects in file, and symbols are super cool features. Even though some of them were already released in previous versions.

Thanks Martin! No, it was never posted, but I think it's because some of the features were (and are still) under development and have been disabled or excluded for this release. It was adequate to get folks from the conference excited and downloading our trunk versions for testing, but for a public release, I'd like to be a bit more accurate about what's new and included.
The good news about that is we can re-use most of it, so not everything needs to be re-done. Since it never got posted, the revisions will not seem like just a re-post of the original video... which saves me a lot of work during this relatively busy time of year, leading up to the holiday season. :)
I'm happy to have anyone advise features that are not in this video to include, or exclude as the case may be.
I'm also quite proud to be part of the Inkscape project, and it's the sense of community and family that motivates me to create these video works, graphics, and ui stuff.
I'm happy that it shows in the video, and it's thanks to all of you that it does. :) Oh, also maybe we should have a special thanks portion at the end of the video for those in the project that have (and continue to) really bend over backwards to get this release out the door. I know I can think of a bunch.
Thoughts?

PS- I don't want to be included on this special thanks screen. I think it should be reserved for those who contributed most to the release, and I've mainly just been a cheerleader for it thus far. :)

Hi CR,
The video at LGM was amazingly good. It felt really good being a part of the inkscape project and I was proud of the work we'd all done together after seeing it.
Did it ever get posted to the inkscape website? When the new one is ready, we should add it to youtube and then onto the website as an embeded video and then into news and other PR outlets.
Thanks for brining this up.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Regarding outeach and PR, remember, we have a video that we displayed at the LGM conference. It got a lot of applause, and a suggestion from the speaker to the audience that everyone consider doing a video next year. *^.^*
I can revise it to replace features that did not make it into the 0.93 release, and replace them with features that did make it in. For reference, the video is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/67wva0mryutll7d/inkscape_lgm_video_2016_fin ished.ogv?dl=0
Other things that need replacing is the 0.91 > 0.92, and the screenshot of the website after we know what the new artwork from the about screen contest is. :)
Any updates would be helpful towards this goal.
Thanks! -C

Such a page might also be a good place to have a table of past releases. For the most part those don't matter much for users, but the question of where to get them does pop up now and then so having an official listing of links to historical packages *somewhere* in the website would be nice.
There is a list of past releases on the releases page. But perhaps you'd like a page that shows a more robust list with descriptions and such?
https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.91/
See list of 'Versions' and 'In development', it's a fairly complete list.
I've noticed the development snapshots often want to have additional directions or tips, which can look a bit cluttery / jargony and thus potentially a big source of confusion.
In any case, probably not worth overthinking here, especially given that there's a new releases app coming. The main thing is to keep things looking neat & tidy for the release.
If you can force the use of the releases app, it'll force fixes and tweaks. Otherwise I fear a cms downloads page will continue to be a toxic workaround stopping us from finishing the app.

I don't understand.

Makes sense, a useful image for each of these things. I'm trying to make the about page art more universal by updating different parts of the website with the art too. I'd like these icons to use the art is possible too.
So pre-about screen we'd use the standard developer/pre-release graphics.
