Article on Inkscape 0.91 -- deadline
Hi Inkscapers,
As some of you may remember, I have a deadline to meet for my article on 0.91 in the prestigious Swiss PUBLISHER magazine, namely 12 January.
I can write most of the article based on 0.91pre3 and the draft of the release notes. There are, however, a few questions left that I hope to receive answers from those in the know.
1) PUBLISHER 1/2015 will be printed by the end of January. Any chance to have 0.91 final out in the wild by then?
2) How "native" will the OS X release be this time? (This is very important to the readers of the magazine, since most of them are using Macs.)
3) 64-Bit versions: Please forgive my ignorance here, but the RN draft mentions 64-Bit support for Windows. Is there any other platform left for which 64-Bit versions are still unavailable?
For those who are awaiting my essay on Inkscape for print/as a real AI alternative in print workflows (cough), my contacts in the industry are awaiting the 0.91 release, and their feedback will be based on the latter, not on 0.48.
Happy New Year and good luck with the release!

Very good chance.

Not yet unfortunately. It's a priority for us, but we've been short on Mac OS development expertise. Potentially we might have to hire the development work out.
- 64-Bit versions: Please forgive my ignorance here, but the RN draft mentions 64-Bit support for Windows. Is there any other platform left for which 64-Bit versions are still unavailable?
Not that I know of.

I meant to get things wrapped up on it before the holidays, but family health issues pre-occupied me most of December.
Thanks, Bryce
Happy New Year and good luck with the release!
