Not an exhaustive list, of course, but just a reminder of some things we should not forget.
1 Restore the ID field in Object Properties (Bryce or Mental)
2 Release a pre2, this time it should also be available as both normal and static RPMs so that packaging with the new libs could be tested (Ted, using static magic from Bob)
3 Each developer should read through the http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes to:
- fill in or edit what is missing
- get a general idea of what is new, so as to be able to answer questions from users :)
Right now the missing parts there are layers (Mental), plugin architecture (Ted) and XML editor statusbar (me or Kees).
4 Layers (Mental):
- switch from using visibility property to display property
- add a dialog asking for a name of a new layer to create, with a couple of checkboxes "Make a sublayer" and "Move selection to the new layer" (I think Mental could use help on this one, it's a simple task for someone)
5 Showstopper bugs to fix, at least:
- 1056658 win98: crash on save (msvcrt error box) (JonCruz)
- Any build bugs, and maybe others.
6 Would-be-nice-to-fix bugs:
- 1062777 ghost spikes in drawing (pjrm)
- 1030436 WIN 0.39: document dirty on load, incomplete transaction (Kees was working on that, any progress?)
- 1060954 WIN: layer widget font too small
7 Test, test, test
Anything I've missed?

Done.

Binaries should be placed under the same release area. I've left 0.40pre1 up there for comparison if need be.

Done.

I mostly finished this last night but strangely the restored code has a compile error that I have to track down. Something about no longer being able to access the object member of SPItem or something.

I would like to see the bug on open svgz solved. Also there is the bug with save as plain svg. I did not investigate much, it seems it creates a svg but only produces this gdk-message on my win-box.
The reason is: I tried to cooperate with my collegues :-) and to 1. open an Visio exported file: failed 2. use in visio an inkscape generated svg file failed
both is :-) as svg should be standard conformant.

I've fixed this up now.

No progress. Found lots of related bugs, but nothing was found to actually stop this bug yet. Various workaround are possible, but not desirable, since it doesn't uncover the reason why an undo is left hanging during a load.

Progress! I have solved the bug. Thanks to mental's reminder on how to do data-tracing in gdb, I hunted this down. Basically, the change happens not during file parsing, but later during the idle handler's call to updateDisplay. Since no one expected that to have undoable actions in it, I wrapped that call in some undo insensitivity, and that solved the bug. The file (correctly) remains not dirty unless something else marks it dirty, at which point the suble offset changes will be written to disk.
See the changes in document.cpp 1.65 -> 1.66 for details. I've closed the bug.
