Official status of 0.49 & future dev cycles
by Josh Andler 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Hey All, I want to try something different with this dev cycle based on feedback that has been received as well as it being our least predictable cycle thus far. First, I want to thaw trunk to a degree. New features are allowed if they really appear to be "complete"... this means no committing anything that is known to not be fully implemented, introduce regressions, or otherwise has known issues. On top of that, if the author of said feature does not have time to polish/bugfix within a month based on feedback, it's just not the right time to merge it. Once we are clearly moving forward toward a release, at that time I will propose a freeze. Once all blocker bugs are closed out a release branch will be made. At that point is when string freeze will officially set in on that release branch. 6 wonderful weeks of further bug fixes and translating will then take place. Yes, it seems like the release is "just sitting there" while getting wrapped up, but one benefit is a planned period to get test builds out in the wild so we can possibly get an even more stable new release out. Regular users always catch our oversights, so the more of them with their hands dirty helps save us some potential bug tracker grief. Hopefully some other great new stuff has the potential to land in 0.49 now. It's a shame for development to not still charge ahead if people's work is far along enough. We'll see how this works out this time and if appropriate perhaps do the same again in future releases. I will let everyone know when it looks like we should actually go back into feature, but from where I sit, I don't foresee that being too soon. As usual, any questions, comments, or feedback are welcome. TL;DR: We're mostly thawed, but commit quality matters more than usual. An update will be posted when it's merited. Cheers, Josh

Hi agin, I had checked that out, there are four user levels in Transfix, so every team coordinator can pick the best of the members and upgrade their membership as reviewers.

Re: [Inkscape-translator] [Inkscape-devel] 0.49 release status update
by Josh Andler 20 Nov '12

Hey Adib, By all means it can get into trunk. From my understanding, people have been posting builds via their own accounts with online storage services such as skydrive, dropbox, gdrive, ubuntuone, etc. Unfortunately, we don't really have anything arranged officially as a project currently. If I'm not mistaken, graphicall.org is also an option.

0.49 release status update
by Josh Andler 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hey All, It's almost time we move on to Feature Freeze, at this point I'm saying let's put it out there as November 30th. I had delayed it to get in a couple new features and the reason I'm not just saying it's today is to leave it open for John Smith for a shortcut editor akin to GIMP's (if it can be completed in time). The current list of bugs milestoned for 0.49 is at 50... and that is quite high. Can people help reduce this number some? My guess is things like the tutorial updates for 0.49 are not likely to make it for example. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-import… The real issue though is that we currently have 13 blocker bugs, all but one of which are regressions caused by the new renderer or rendering cache. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-import… In addition to these blockers, we still have a security bug that is blocking 0.48.4 and will also block 0.49. Please focus efforts on fixing bugs rather than enhancing features at this point. The two exceptions to this are for the shortcut editor and the newly committed symbols dialog, polishing things like this is good. String Freeze will go into effect on November 30th at this point, but I HIGHLY recommend translators get started now if they haven't started already (as was previously recommended). Unfortunately, it does not look like we're going to be able to get the release out this year as originally hoped. At the current rate I hope we can get it out in Q1 of next year. Sorry for not giving an update sooner. I hope all is well with everyone! Cheers, Josh

Do you use online platform for translating

Hi I'd like to ask you if you use any online platform like launchpad or Transifex while translating Inkscape. Regards, Muhammed Azmi Al-Hashemi.

transifex is collaborative tool for simultaneous translation
by ValessioBrito 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Hi all, I wonder if there's more projects using some online tool for collaborative translation, if so, what? We are using the transfix[1], like the simplicity and functionality of the tool. However, I think the whole environment could use the same common platform, reinforcing a standard procedure and documentation to assist with translations.

Hi there, I work in an University in South of Brazil and we have here one teacher who want to make students of Information Systems learn English by software/documentation translation, so, I came to as you if you need help on pt_BR translation, who I need to talk to know how it will be done and, then, I will put the teacher to talk with this responsible for translation. Thanks and congrats for the project. -- Att... Ricardo Felipe Klein klein.rfk@...5...

SourceForge Upgrade
by Josh Andler 07 Oct '12

07 Oct '12

Hey All, SF.net is upgrading their site and all projects. I wanted to give a heads up that I've initiated the transition for us and we are in their queue. Hopefully this will not negatively impact our usage of SF, but, it is something they're going to do to all projects that they host. I apologize in advance that they will be notifying everyone with commit access of code access changes, and I'm sorry if they send other emails to everyone else. Hopefully this will all be for the good in the end, as it's going to be mandatory. Cheers, Josh

Inkscape Board - election results
by Josh Andler 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Hey All, I'm happy to announce that Tavmjong Bah & Johan Engelen have been elected and have accepted their positions on the board. A few people had voted off-lists, however, it does not affect the results in the end (they actually had more votes including those). So, to Johan & Tav, congratulations and welcome aboard! :) Cheers, Josh
