Hey Devs,
Two weeks ago I sent a message asking about a new Inkscape release. Over the past two weeks, we've managed to close the vast majority of blocking bugs and of the last 3, 2 are in progress:
In Progress #850992 Top layer, Blend mode is multipy, Pattern disappear In Progress #953992 Imported pattern fill disappers while transforming Triaged #1005892 Patterns applied to text objects are blurred
The other blocker is our cairo render issue, which I'm counting on the fix being delivered to our build system and making sure we have the library in our ppa/trunk ready to go. I'm wondering if I can get someone to work on this?
We have 16 regressions currently reported: http://tinyurl.com/o9lq44w and I think about 2 or 3 floating in the mailing list which people are working on already.
We have 56 bugs targeted to 0.49 reported: http://tinyurl.com/l3glywq and these will probably include the above bugs.
It looks like our GSoC projects will take a week or three to settle and clear. Although it looks like the majority of work is in already.
I think we're in great shape for a release target. I'm going to continue to work on my blocker for this week, which is #850992 and a couple of regressions.
Thanks everyone, you guys are awesome.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
