I think we need a pre3 today. Several important fixes went in, and Mrdocs promised to (finally!) make static RPMs for it.
Just a precious few things remain to be done before we can enter freeze:
1 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)
2 fix two crasher bugs:
- 1056658 win98: crash on save (msvcrt error box) (JonCruz)
- 1059059 crach autopackage 0.4, may be a dupe of 1064399
3 fix the several portability bugs (actually I think mental handled them already)
That's the minimum, the more bugs we fix the better. But this minimum is minimal enough already, which is good news. Let's all make one final push.

I'm not particularly interested in chasing autopackage crashes given that the library dep and resolution system doesn't appear to always handle things correctly. Has this crash been reproduced?
3 fix the several portability bugs (actually I think mental handled them already)
Yeah, he added changes for both of these. (We actually had a patch waiting in the tracker for the fp one.)

OK. Got more tracked down on this.
Mental confirmed that it's all sorts of fun with mixing the concepts of URI and file path, with the latter often passed as a parameter named 'uri', etc.
So finishing up the cleanup on URI versus filepath will fix a lot, including the crash bug. And it's needed anyway to help fix other things (like file importing and moving files with linked assets).
BTW, if anyone has any insights on URI use in general, or specific needs, now is a good time to toss info out so it's all considered.

OK. Got more tracked down on this.
Jon: Tried today's inkscape.exe from your site. Now it crashes on startup. I can't even see anything, something like a terminal window flashes very quickly and then nothing. No error boxes. Please revert the last changes so I can at least see your debug messages.
I'd like to propose we enter into a preliminary feature freeze (frost?) at this time, while these remaining items are worked. This will encourage completion of these items, and discourage adding further features that could introduce new issues.
