Hey Devs,
This is another report on how our release items are shaping up. The past two weeks we've got the same three blockers:
Blockers: 3 * High #1163449 Imported bitmap appear blurry when zoomed in * Medium #953992 Imported pattern fill disappears while transforming * Medium #1005892 Patterns applied to text objects are blurred
I don't know if 953992 is still really in progress, but we should make sure the bug status is kept up to date. If you're working on one of these bugs, do set the status so duplication is avoided.
We have 59 targeted bugs for the next release. That's +10 from two weeks ago.
If you can see a bug you can fix, give it a go. Any help is useful.
Status: Release Readiness Freeze: None
Thanks for everyone's work in the past two weeks towards release.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
hi, nice to hear that there will be a new release soon.
i would like to add something to the release:
out of the basic hpgl export i have developed a complete plotter solution for inkscape (yes, i know of inkcut, but it doesn't run on windows), with it you can drive your plotter directly over the HPGL command language and a serial connection. it has overcut, tool offset correction and many more features. two of my blog readers have already tested it extensively. you can test it on my branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~sebi-k/inkscape/HpglAndPlotter
i would like to get it into the 0.49 (or whatever it will be called) release, and i have a couple of questions about it:
1. is it ok to merge to trunk now? 2. what wiki / release notes / other stuff do i have to bring up to date to reflect my changes? 3. anything else i have to consider? 4. how are code review requests done here? i didnt found much about it...
also it would be really nice if everyone with a plotter / cutting plotter could test it!
regards, TimeWaster

Hey Sebi,
There's no freeze at the moment so there's no reason not to look at merging your changes too.

Use this form to request a merge:
https://code.launchpad.net/~sebi-k/inkscape/HpglAndPlotter/+register-merge
This will allow you to get feedback on your changes before committing to trunk as well as keeping the review all together in one place.
Martin,

A newer version of InkCut was supposed to solve this. I really wish people talked to each other before duplicating efforts.

i don't see a problem with that.
inkcut is clearly targeted against professionals where it has many features for mass production, whereas my implementation is aimed at a beginners / intermediate level where the tool tries to do as much as possible automatically and is much easier to handle (i even began to write it because most tools out there are much to complicated to handle).
also inkcut has at least dependencies to 3 3rd party frameworks, whereas mine has (at least under linux) no dependencies.
i see it more like both products pretty good complement each other.
for most users my tool is sufficient for most usages, but i could even imagine telling the user to use inkcut if the user needs more advanced features.
