The release process is ready to now move to the Frost phase.
1. Open development. √ Triage and prioritize bugs report this year √ Itemize regression bugs found since last release
2. Chill. √ Development focuses on wrapping up √ Disable features that aren't finished √ Identify 'make distcheck' issues √ Identify any critical OSX/Win32 packaging issues √ Identify remaining writing needed for Release Notes. √ Regressions Bug Hunt: 500 points √ Update tutorials and other docs
3. Frost. √ Experimental Branch is forked √ Mainline Branch focuses on stabilization √ Only production-ready code committed to Mainline Post inkscape-0.91-pre0.tar.gz Finalize any major changes to platform packaging Release Notes should be >90% filled in. Inkscape must pass >90% of 'make distcheck' Start an About Screen contest General Bug Hunt: 1500 points Post additional inkscape-0.91-pre*.tar.gz releases Packagers test creating pkgs of the -pre* releases
Mainline Branch =============== During the Frost period, developers should not commit changes to mainline unless the change improves the overall stability of Inkscape or is needed for packaging or to fix distcheck issues.
Use your judgment as to what is "safe". If you're unsure, email me or Josh before committing and we'll make case-by-case decisions. As a general rule of thumb, if your commit doesn't specify a LP bug #, then it should probably be signed off on by josh or I.
Experimental Branch =================== The Experimental Branch is now forked. You can check it out via:
bzr branch lp:inkscape/experimental
This is an official (but temporary) branch, for freely merging all development work. Please treat it as you would mainline when we're not in release, and strive to keep it buildable and usable.
In particular, all merges of GSoC branches and other sponsored development work should target this experimental branch instead of mainline.
Bug reports will be accepted for the experimental branch. These bug reports will be EOL'd when the experimental branch goes EOL.
About Screen Contest ==================== Josh, can you and Ryan work on organizing this? This contest will need to be completed before we enter Freeze.
Make Distcheck ============== Last I checked we had some distcheck issues, which will need to be resolved before we release. Basically just run `make distcheck` and work on sorting out the errors and warnings that print out.
Bug Hunt ======== This time around, any bug filed against Inkscape is fair game. I'll be posting stats on Mondays. This next Monday I'll explain this in more detail. I'll start the count as of May 5th.
Packaging ========= If you are working on packaging improvements, please continue to do so, with the goal of having it all in working order by the time Frost is over (probably several weeks from now).

Bryce,
I built and uploaded the windows versions to sf.
There is a small problem in the dist archive. 3 files are missing: - 2 translations of the win32 nsis installer and - 1 share/extension/inkscape.extension.rng <-- here I don't know what that file is for but it is referenced in the win32 nsis installer
Using the attached patch the dist.zip contains all this files. So you want me to commit to the mainline branch?
Regards, Adib. --
