Hi Inkscape developers,
As some of you may know, I'm a contributor to an influential German-language publishing magazines. It's in this capacity that I ask if there's a chance of a 0.91 release before 10 November, as this is the deadline I'd have to meet for an article on 0.91. The editor has reserved some space (1.5 pages) for text and images, and I may be able to convince him of a delay (i.e., 17 November).
If even 17 November is unrealistic, please let me know. The article on 0.91 will then be published in the January issue of the magazine, but it'd help the editors and myself if we knew about the time frame.
Please feel free to answer me off-list, if necessary.
Christoph

We've promised the translators they have at least until Nov 18th, so we definitely will not make that date.
Most of the remaining todo's on our roadmap are actually not that hard, and not that many, so I think a December release is not unrealistic.

I also want to remind people of the handful of blocker bugs still out there. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bugs?field.tag=blocker
I believe once we get the Windows libs straightened out we can remove the blocker tag from the cairo bug, if not otherwise marking it as not our issue.
Cheers, Josh

Thanks, I was wondering if we had assembled a blocker list yet.
I'd wonder though if any bug ranked less than High importance is really a blocker...?
We should also ensure that all accepted blocker bugs have active assignees. We should probably also check that each of the blockers is getting a status update posted at least weekly.

Blockers not being ranked as High is purely due to how we rank bugs. We can have something completely broken to a user, such as https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/772057 which is Low. However, we should really avoid releasing with it at all costs. Would I let it completely block the release? Probably not... but it's one of those things that are so easy to hit, we should try to avoid releasing with it.
That said, 772057 may be temporarily fixed (at least for 0.91) when https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1387864 is fixed. Two blockers with one fix, are we that lucky?
Cheers, Josh
