I've tagged and uploaded inkscape-0.44.1pre1. This is the time to check it out and find problems before the final 0.44.1 release, as well as for any needed translation work to be done.
Let me know ASAP if you find a problem or have something that needs to go in for 0.44.1.

Is the same splash screen going to be used?
Could the lettering be adjusted so it looks a bit less like "Draw Frilley"
I'm exaggerating but the joined up writing makes it very difficult to know what the slogan is unless you already know.

Yes. We will be continuing our practice of only introducing new splash screens for minor revisions, not point releases.

Hmm, we've been using that cursive logotype for a while in various contexts (it's even on the teeshirts) and nobody's complained or had to ask what it said until now. Is there something with this specific context?

A lack of comments doesn't mean there isn't anything there, and people who know the slogan is draw freely can put two and two together and relise what the cursive means.
I'm just used to not being able to read other peoples handwriting so figured I'd mention it.

The two 'ee' s are barely distinguishable from the 'l' I just think it could be clearer if there was a slightly bigger loop for the 'e'
quicker to make the quick tweaks and show you than talk about it further http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~horkana/inkscape/about2.svg
I lengthened the 'l' slightly adjusted the angle and made the e a bit fatter (putting a hole in the e loop would take longer but I'll do it if requested)

Hmm, that is more legible, although I think the adjustment chould conform to the style and motion of the original handwriting (Pushkin's) more without necessarily losing much legibility.
Could you please file a bug and assign it to me? I don't have time to mess with it right this moment, but when I have a chance I'd like to try some more subtle adjustments and run the result by bulia.

I'm sure some more patient and artistically inclined could do more.

Thanks for taking this on board.

I didn't realise that the packaging updates that JiHo and I did made it on to the 0.44 branch. That's a good thing, so thanks for doing that. Unfortunately though, one of the files has a bug in it that I had incorrectly fixed in the trunk. This will mean that OSX packagers won't be able to build the dmg file.
The bug is an incorrect argument to the '-srcfolder' option of a call to 'hdiutil' in the file 'packaging/macosx/osx-dmg.sh', it should be "$TMPDIR". So: /usr/bin/hdiutil create -srcfolder "$TMPDIR" -volname ...
Mental, could you please bring the file 'packaging/macosx/osx-dmg.sh' up to date with revision 12940 of the trunk, which has the correct fix I just checked in.
I have built Inkscape-0.44.1-1.PPC.dmg and added to to the downloads page. Someone else will need to build an Intel version if we're going to have a Universal Binaries again.
For anyone building a Mactel version: The PPC version was built with g++ 4.0.1 (build 5363) from Xcode 2.4, and an up-to-date fink unstable distribution, including all the same dependencies as required by the 0.44 version of inkscape in fink, with ssl versions of gnome-vfs2. Note: it depends on a few more of the optional dependencies than we had for our 0.44 dmg. Best to 'fink install inkscape' to make sure you have all of these before building.
Cheers, Michael
