I'm coming in a bit late in this thread, but let me reiterate the plan, and address some of the issues that were raised.
If you have strong feelings for how/when the gtkmm code is integrated, you are welcomed to get involved with working on the code.
The inkscape_gtkmm code will be merged immediately after 0.41 is released. Remember, we were going to do this for 0.40 but people wished to squeeze out one more release before then.
I do not think we can wait any longer than that, though, because while the code is not diverged yet, there is less and less we can do without having the full codebase behind it.
If you've been refusing to help on the gtkmm work in order to boycott it into getting merged, I think you're a twit. ;-)
I would like to continue with the current numbering scheme, and not jump to 0.50. As others point out, this is not the first big change brought to Inkscape.
Agree x5 :)
But (thankfully) the code's been growing quickly. The simpleminded build system is now more hinderance than help, and we need Autoconf.
Well - new framework, new build system? There was a discussion in August, the following two projects come to my mind here: Blender which uses Scons.
But ... if I was to suggest using another build system, I better got my hands dirty and tried to get Inkscape working with it, don't I? ;)
