Inkscape release schedule: Sunday?
How about we release on Sunday if no serious bugs are found? There is going to be no end of trouble on Debian unstable, but that's because the C++ libraries haven't been recompiled yet. However, this is "not our problem".
ITEMS - About screen is "too big". If we don't get this solved, it's not a show-stopper, but it'd be nice. - Win98 crash. No immediate progress, small portion of user base, so it's not a show-stopper, but would be nice to fix. - Static .deb. It'd be nice to have something for the Debian unstable folks to test with. Not a show-stopper, I don't think, since it's fine on Ubuntu Hoary and Debian Sarge.

What about the three new crash bugs in the tracker - Mandriva, Ubuntu, OSX?

All three appear very likely to be packaging issues, not problems in the codebase itself. They're important, but can also be fixed post-release in the packages. I suspect at least one is due just to user misconfiguration, but there's not enough info to say. The other two I think will require a lot more info to get resolved, since the bug reports are a little sketchy (e.g., no bt's, not replicatable, etc.)

To all who experienced these or similar crashes: Please try the static RPM from our download area. If it works, this will mean you have some problems with C++ libs on your system.
Another bug we absolutely must fix now:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1243403&gr...
The version number written by the Windows port is 2 releases too old!

Tracked down. CVS committed.
Ted, take note: I've updated the "CreatingDists" instructions. There is yet another place for the version to change. :) src/inkscape_version.h.mingw needs updating too.

Mandriva and Ubuntu reports are both using autopackage, which I don't think we should support as a release. :)
OSX is a rather "new" platform for us, and shouldn't hold back general release. (and Michael said he found some fixes which he's got a patch for now)

Yes, that problem is definitely fixed anyway -- bug closed, fix commited, and new dmg file (Inkscape-0.41+0.42pre3-2.dmg) already put up to replace the 0.43pre2 one on the downloads page.

Kees, could you please consider committing Mental's patch for a rather nasty bug:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604306&aid=1241132...
I tested it and it seems to work fine. (You should test it too, of course.)

Sure, looks small enough.

The two libraries we were waiting for, glibmm and gtkmm, have now suddenly become available (thanks to a non-maintainer upload of glibmm).
The only remaining issue is libgtkspell: installing the post-transition libgtkspell conflicts with having the pre-transition libaspell installed, and many important packages (including most of kde) still require the pre-transition libaspell.
For the inkscape debian binary I built just now, I decided to uninstall libgtkspell-dev before compiling, to prevent the binary package depending on post-transition libaspell. (gtkspell functionality isn't very valuable to me in its current state, as it tends to pick the wrong language, but most ppl won't have that problem.)
Wolfi may wish for the debian diffs to include a patch to configure.ac to disable testing for gtkspell, if there are still important packages not rebuilt by the time he returns from holiday. (OTOH, an arguments in favour of depending on post-transition gtkspell is that it could be a good thing for the newer inkscape not to be immediately installable by everyone: it allows a gradual release, giving more chance for bugs to be found & corrected before affecting the rest of the users.)
