Inkscape 0.47 on the horizon (Call for help)
Hey All,
I think we closed out the last of the blocker bugs today!
So, will people please help ensure that the release notes are up to date? I'm headed there in just a minute to document my latest changes. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.47
Regarding PR, I am going to continue with what was started here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AnnouncePlanning047 If you are an inkscape user who wants to contribute, even if you can't program, this is the perfect way to give back to the community. Please help us flesh this out and refine it.
Packagers, please package up Pre3 if you have not already done so as a practice run... and honestly, I think it would be safe to plan a release for next week (between Monday the 5th and Friday the 9th), provided packages are available and no new issues arise.
Any objections to this proposed plan? Any thoughts on if releasing on a specific day of the week will get more notice?
Cheers, Josh

I also have started the page for the next release:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.48
I'm doing a pass through the 0.47 page and moving things that were not quite finished on over to the new 0.48 page. Also if people have new things that come up, the 0.48 page is the place for them. Once we hit the main announcement, I'll update the wiki main page to link also to the 0.48 release notes.

Do you have any news about the state of OS X 10.4 Tiger builds since 0.47pre1?
There has been one tiger-specific bug reported with 0.47pre1 that unfortunately didn't get much attention, but IMHO impacts its usability: Not only the integration with the system clipboard (i.e. X11) is reported broken - the internal clipboard seems limited to bitmap copies only.
This issue looks unrelated to the known clipboard bug on Leopard+ which only happens with recent X11/XQuartz versions >= 2.3.2 (bug #307005).
OS X Tiger uses an ancient version of Apple's X11 (1.1.3, based on XFree86 4.4.0). I could not find any hints whether the new system clipboard integration code was ever tested in Tiger development builds.
Bug #396754 “Erratic copy/paste in OSX 10.4 0.47pre1”: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/396754

Are the plans to fully support OS X Tiger still current?

I've got nothing on Tiger builds... Anyone care to step up?
This is just like 7z, exe, deb, rpm, etc... we have volunteers to help with them and if there is no one to fill the void, well, it's like being a slackware user. ;)

Ash Josh said, this is a matter of having someone to compile on Tiger. I have no resources around to do it. Before leaving, Michael told me he might be able to do it but it will probably be for the release version only. I thought this bug was related to the other one you mention. If there is something specific to fix for Tiger, then I hope Michael will have enough time and 0.47.1 will be available for Tiger. Otherwise it will indeed stay unsupported. As an indication, Tiger is still representing 20 to 40% of the Mac user base.
