We do have pre-release versions of Inkscape compiled and ready to test before the release. This is a time when users can peek over the wall, and have a say in what gets tossed over.
How do users know about these? I lurk on inkscape-devel and inkscape-user, so that's how I know.
Should Inkscape check for updates and show pop-ups like some other apps?
"New update is available"
and
" New beta is available
It would really help Inkscape if you'd test it "
realizing that that requires more code itself, an HTTP GET to find new updates, then the pop-up and instructions on how to proceed (probably just a hyperlink in the pop-up to the appropriate page on the Inkscape website).
