Here's an update on where we are in getting the release out.
1. Windows packaging seems to be shaping up well. Packages for 0.91pre1 are posted to the website. Hopefully we'll see 0.92pre2 packages soon.
OSX still appears in need of volunteers to get packaging sorted. It looks like we may be forced to omit this from our release announcement plans, but let's give it a few more days. If anyone is working on or plans to work on OSX packages, please contact me ASAP.
2. DPI Scaling bug #1389723 - We still need someone to work on this bug; there have not been new comments.
*** We still need someone to adopt this issue and run it to ground.
3. Disable unstable features, bug #1589340 - I pushed the MESH option fix. suv's summarized the remaining bits needing done and this looks straightforward to get finished.
4. Fonts not shown in font manager (Win32), bug #1416674 - This is now dropped as a release blocker. It still needs added to the release notes.
5. About screen - Work is under way here; hopefully this can get taken care of quickly.
6. Release Notes - Apart from perhaps adding a few more known issues, we are probably at a point we can consider the Notes complete. This would be a good point to start translating them (or to bring existing translations up to date.)

7. New snapshot. I've posted source packages for 0.92pre2; there were a few little hitches but nothing major, and nothing that looks like it would impact finalizing 0.92.0.
