Hi all,
Now that we are in Feature Freeze, attention turns to bug fixing.
As we've done before, we'll establish a point goal - 200pts. Each fixed bug between today and release will count towards that score. Low priority bugs score 3pts, medium 6pts, and high 9pts.
When we've hit that list, *AND* closed all the Must-Fix bugs for 0.44.0, we will move into the Hard Freeze phase, and give control over to the release wardens to finalize the release.
Must-Fix List for 0.44.0 ------------------------ *rwst 1467073 (DONE) make distcheck failing cyreve 1493680 Build: no compile with FreeType-2.2.1-2 ishmal 1489175 Win2K crash: entrypoint FreeAddrInfo not found ishmal 1489961 Autopackage: crash on save as ODG acspike 1244836 use newer glib2 on official build system

Note that I've deliberately kept the list of must-fix bugs for 0.44.0 very lean, so that we can release sooner rather than later. If you disagree and have a bug that you think really must go there, then please speak up now, and explain why it should be a release blocker.
Some of the rationale I used for de-ranking bugs: Difficulty confirming the bug. Bug appears to affect just the reporter. Bug doesn't cause crash or data loss. Crash is due to something very unusual (like a specific font, or a directory with unicode characters, or selecting
1000 nodes while snapping is on, etc.) Bug is in a feature not enabled
by default (i.e. inkboard).
Also note that this list doesn't accept bugs unless they have an owner. This is strictly for pragmatic reasons - without someone volunteering to take care of it, we may end up waiting a very long time to close it. In past releases, we've often ended up simply having to release with these sorts of bugs anyway, so I figure, why accept them as Must Fixes in the first place? ;-)

I'd like to nominate these two bugs as mustfix before 0.44.anything:
cth03 1429049 Snap: near-freeze in ObjectSnapper::_findCandidates with ~1000 obj
I almost got used, by now, to the depressing fact that any improvements to snapping in this version will likely be negated by their unorganized and unfinished state. (My personal opinion is that we'll be lucky if snapping in 0.44 is at least not worse than in 0.43.) But this bug is special still. It flies right in the face of our announced speed gains in 0.44 and is therefore intolerable.
---- 1484076 potrace freeze with multiple color scan
I think this makes tracing pretty much unusable. Fortunately, Ishmal saif he would look into this tomorrow.

Hmm. Well, I can accept this as a must fix on the condition that someone new take ownership of it. Carl is a great guy but has been unavailable quite a bit in recent months, and I would prefer to have more active people on any bugs we list as must fixers. Plus, some new blood for the snapping code would be a good thing.
There's three crit bugs related to snapping, so time spent mastering snapping could pay off big.

If ishmal can take ownership of this bug, I'd be happy to move it to must-fix.

OK, looks like I'll have to look into it. Assign it to me.

Done, and I've moved it up.

Hi folks
A lot of these bugs may be interrelated. Many feel like they could be related to the variant/quoting out issue. Thought it might be useful if i posted them as a family so folks can see the different comments from each of the bugs posted, the fonts specified and fixes suggested. If this is not a useful thing to post to the list holler.
Cheers
