Hi,

De : Joshua A. Andler <scislac@...400...> It appears that the Frost is nearing completion, and the Feature Freeze will be setting in soon. Given this, it's probably a good time to start putting together a list of release blocker bugs, as well as discuss if any features need to be pruned due to them being incomplete.

Two very annoying bugs:

#304018 Crash when using LPE with node tool selected (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/304018) #307195 crash with two inkscape instances when changing layer (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/307195) They lead to a crash, are regressions, and appear in very common situations. Thus I think they are release blockers.

And three incomplete (or not working) features:

#346721 Segfault after opening scripts dialog (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/346721) Not very annoying (I'm not sure lots of users use it) but since it's an UI menu entry, it should work or be removed (also a regression). It should not be too hard to fix (see bug report).

#179452 export to openclipart.org in dev version (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/179452) I've recently postponed and lowered the report. It should be disabled in 0.47.

#319107 Jabber whiteboard doesn't work (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/319107). Should also be disabled in 0.47.

Is anyone aware if there currently any major platform specific bugs like we had around 0.46? (win32 printing issue is what I speak of)

#166678 Paper size or orientation are not used when printing (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/166678) and #220360 win32 fails to print in large format (A0) (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/220360) are now fixed!

At this point I want to again remind people to ensure that the release notes are as up-to-date as possible!

And create a new Keys and Mouse reference for 0.47 (22062 is linked to http://inkscape.org/doc/keys046.html).

Cheers, -- Nicolas

#407893: Text Tool attributes messed up.

#382313: Image Filter broken for external images. This is a serious regression in my opinion.

#397075: Inkscape crashes adding image effect in filter editor.

Important... but maybe not a blocker:

#389130 Inkscape PNG transparency display appearance does not match export and other standard applications

All the Windows-specific issues that I'm aware of have been fixed now, and I've done all the work I'm doing for a while fixing up the Windows installer (still got uninstallation routine optimisation and more complex language stuff to add in, but that'll need quite a bit of string translation as well). Also all the Inkscape Portable-related issues have been ironed out (thanks particularly to Jon Cruz for committing my first patch for an alternative setting storage location and theAdib for working out the export dialogue file chooser window :-) ) I'm looking forward to the release of 0.47 (especially so that Inkscape Portable will be released at PortableApps.com :D )!

For reference, here are the bugs that are still milestoned for 0.47: https://edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+milestone/0.47

Is anyone aware if there currently any major platform specific bugs like we had around 0.46? (win32 printing issue is what I speak of)

Also, JonCruz, should we hold back the "Auto" swatch palette from this release?

At this point I want to again remind people to ensure that the release notes are as up-to-date as possible! Please take a moment to ensure that your improvements/enhancements/new features are all mentioned with a brief explanation where necessary.

Thanks to everyone for your contributions!

Cheers, Josh

I don't need a quote in my signature. It's hard enough surviving as it is without having to find a meaningful quote. Will you forgive me? Or don't you read this bit?

I would vote for:

376068 Inkscape 0.46_5 Segmentation fault on gradient edit an gui element is accessed in the dialoge after the removal from screen currently the crash comes from assert function thus is can be converted to "close this dialogue" or something else

376068 Inkscape 0.46_5 Segmentation fault on gradient edit this is an transition problem from inkscape floating point precistion to cairo-based integer calculation the calculated value is a NaN. In this case the crash can be prevented by ignoring the element or so.
