A new 0.92pre2 source package has been released and can be downloaded from:

https://inkscape.org/en/download/source/

I'm calling this the Inkscape 0.92 'beta'. All scheduled features are complete at this point, and bug fixing work is mostly finished (except for a few remaining known issues we're tracking).

Packagers are encouraged to prepare binary packages for the platforms we support.

Testers are encouraged to install and use this as if it were the release. At this point we're primarily looking for a) packaging errors, b) installation and build breakages, and c) regressions from recent bug fixes. If you find particularly severe/critical issues, feel free to contact me about them. Ordinary bugs should be entered into the release notes as Known Issues, and worked on in trunk for 0.93 or 0.92.1.

Users are welcome to use this as well, just make sure to plan on upgrading to the actual release when it arrives; there are still a few more odds and ends we intend to add to the release.

I'll follow up later with an update on our release status and some follow-up tasks.

Thanks, Bryce
