The release does not change anything for Inkscape. Since Inkscape needs bleeding edge 2geom, we have to carry it in our SVN.
I think Johan, as a 2geom devel, has the ultimate say on this. It's not a bad thing to put up a separate 2geom package, so that distros and people start getting used to its existence. But we should not break anything in the current Inkscape/2geom linkage until all 2geom developers approve that.
Makes sense. But I don't think that "bug free" should be the goal. It will never be 100% bug free. It should be API stable. Which I believe, from the release notes is what the goal of 0.2.0 was:
After a busy year with johan, verbalshadow and mgsloan working on the inkscape port to 2geom; jfbarraud and marco developing some sophisticated new geometric operations; acspike writing a python binding; cilix, pjrm and goriccardo checking details and mental doing everything in between, we are releasing a new release for distributions and in particular, inkscape and scribus to target.
WRT people who want to use development versions of 2geom with Inkscape, there is already a well established way to do that. You can change your PKG Config directories to point to any version you'd like. As long as the Inkscape build uses PKG Config correctly it'll pick that version up.
