For those interested in the changes during the hard freeze, below is the changelog generated from SVN.

Bryce

Aaron Spike (1): Fix namespace usage in xml attribute

Albin Sunnanbo (1): dash_offset was not initialized in nr_arena_glyphs_update in nr-arena-glyphs.cpp (LP: #168072)

Alexandre Prokoudine (1): Patch to switch to use of UniConverter for importing WMF files in 0.46 (Fixes LP: #166782)

Gail Carmichael (1): Fix crash when tref selected in xml editor (LP: #178646)

Joel Holdsworth (1): Fix for bug #168283: "possible to create empty paths via text -> object to path".

Johan Engelen (2): Fixes Crash/Assert when SaveAs... "PDF via Cairo" without converting text to paths. Fix for crash when drawing after opening an incorrect image file. (Closes LP: 197664)

Johan J (1): Fixes parameters that are on a notebookpage. This makes the Measure Path work now.

Jon A. Cruz (1): Fix crash related to ungrouping a group of objects with nested layers in a file imported from another svg file.

JucaBlues (2): updating brazilian portuguese .po for 0.46 release updating Brazilian Portuguese about screen for 0.46 release

Marcin Floryan (1): Fixes bitmap effects where translation is not being used properly.

Maximilian Albert (5): Fix for issue where creating a new document smashes/mutilates a 3D box. (LP: #195373) Fix to avoid adding a new perspective each time a file is opened by checking if a perspective is already present in the document and using it in this case. Fix for crash when copy/pasting 3DBox between documents. Ensures perspectives are copied. Fix degenerate perspective due to collinear X and Z vanishing points and origin, which caused computing preimages of canvas points to not work. Fixes crash when using using the 3d box by removing debug callback functions. Corresponds to mainline svn commit 17471.

Simon Dahlbacka (1): Trivial patch that replaces HKLM with HKCU. The issue is that src/RegistryTool.cpp wants to write to HKLM to which normal users doesn't have access, and therefore perspective effect (and everything else that use registrytool) blows up.

Tavmjong Bah (1): Fixes p3, p6 modes in clonetiler by addressing cases where w<=h. (Closes LP: #199387) Fix tile clone random scaling (bug #184668, r17511).

Ted Gould (2): Fixes bug where "Effects >> Previous effect settings..." doesn't obey the live-preview-off setting. Refactor extension code and apparently in the process fixes some or all of LP: #187431, #181799, #169066, #169017, #169058, #171322, and perhaps others.

a_b (8): po update (x8)

bryce (8): Updating to 0.46 Adding news for the release Fix mkNEWS to work with current wiki format Reverting the string portion of the sp-tref patch (r17666), as it broke string freeze. Disabling export to OCAL menu item (LP: #179452) Update copyright date to 2008 po update Establishing release branch for 0.46

bulia byak (11): Fix issue with tile clones where blue is not displayed when using the blur tab. This patch forces a document update. Fix issue where creating a pattern reverses the object order, by re-reversing the objects after creation. (LP: #199791) A purely cosmetic change - make the filter effects dialog less wide Fix for freeze on load with too large initial scroll Patch for inkex.py, to fix current_layer bug, where inkex.py fails to determine the current layer. (LP: #198404) Fix for issue where for some reason entering a 3D box as group was disabled - this is in fact quite useful so I enabled it (safe change for consistency) Fix for issue where default perspective was arbitrary and hard-coded - I made it depend on document size which makes more sense (not really a bug but a safe change) Fix issue where converting 3d box to curves or ungrouping it lost style and clip/mask, and lost selection Fix issue where squeezing a rectangle to zero in one dimension by handle misbehaved Fix issue where 3d box handles didn't snap Use consistent name

cilix42 (3): warning cleanup Clean up comments and remove (already commented) debugging messages Don't crash when the original of an SPUse can't be found. This sort of fixes LP 185734, but maybe further action would be appropriate (e.g., should we remove orphaned items from the xml tree in the first place?).
