Hi, all. Is there any kind of Inkscape regression files that we can use for testing new releases? I'm thinking about a collection of files that systematically incorporates certain kinds of path effects, patterns, color management testing and so on to make eyballing bugs easier.
*If there is none, here's my suggestion*: For example, one file would be for testing the new "Path Effect Editor" and could have 10 sample paths which each is using one of the available effects. Beside each path, there's an bitmap to show what the path is supposed to look like which makes it very easy to compare the desired path effect to the actual effect. At the same time, these files would be kinda educational, since the instructions for producing each effect could be written on the canvas right next to the paths. *Here'**s the same type of files for Blender:* http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/ "Regression files are .blend examples showing systematically all features we test before doing a release. This is a good reference for bug hunting, but also a valuable demo overview for new users.

Please see: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/TestingInkscape
And see the following for (relatively) up-to-date results: http://home.hccnet.nl/th.v.d.gronde/inkscape/ResultViewer.html
(Note that I'm still running these tests manually, if you have any means of helping me automate this that would be great. Also note that anyone can run these tests him-/herself as well.)
