Remaining serious bugs:
- Some inkboard crashes, one of which may indicate a security issue. Inkboard isn't enabled by default, so I suggest we merely mention these in the release notes but not let them hold up the release.
- Various Windows issues. I'll let someone else comment on whether any of these should hold up the release.
- Connector crashes. One of these (out-of-date bboxes) may require significant change to fix properly. For the release, I suggest just changing it from a crash to a misbehaviour bug (choose an arbitrary point if !in_svg_plane(p); #include "libnr/in-svg-plane.h"). It's good to test in_svg_plane(p) before updating reprs even in absence of a crash, because inf and NaN can't be expressed in SVG.
I haven't yet changed anything in the newly-created branch like changing version numbers. See http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CreatingDists for a list of things to change now that the branch has been created.
Release notes seem OK from a brief scan. There's an entry there marked `pjrm' which I'm just addressing now.
Still need to transcribe to NEWS, but this can wait until ReleaseNotes (http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes) is quiescent. Bulia notes:
1 Ask everyone on jabber to read http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes, copyedit, fill what is missing, spell-check.
2 Do
elinks -dump -no-numbering -no-references http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes > NEWS
or in any other way convert it to plain text in the NEWS file.
3 Commit NEWS to CVS.
Screenshots: I'm not up-to-date on this yet. There has been some progress reported over the last couple of days, but I don't know where we stand.
Updated tutorials: Patch tracker items still open in places where HTML hasn't been put in inkscape_web/. One of the open patch tracker items is where we're waiting on the source XML file for an SVG version. (For the moment I haven't even put the generated SVG file into CVS, in case the XML file is changed in the meantime, but we could use the given SVG version if we don't get the XML file soon.)
pjrm.
