issues. The font selector crash [1501150] is easy to reproduce, but also quite easy to avoid.
I know we had a number of font related crashes reported the past couple weeks - did this get investigated and worked out? If not, is the plan to disable font rendering in the selector?
Jon was looking into [1501156] last I heard. I've
This is sort of a "cross your legs, blink three times, and sneeze" type of bug - it is definitely recreatable and should be fixed, but the steps to trigger it are odd enough that I suspect most people won't encounter it. In fact, I'd wager that it's been in there for quite a while with no one noticing it.
been waiting to hear from bbyak about the snapping bugs [1429049]. I think we are going to hear about [1497837] libgc-6.7 a lot but there seems to be a solution. Are we release quality? If not, I think we are very close. What do others think?
I'd like to see the default sensitivity for snapping increased (from 0.4 to, say, 10 or 20). Presently, due to one of the bugs in snapping that's not likely to get fixed before release, the default sensitivity is so low that it essentially does not snap. Increasing the default sensitivity will provide an adequate workaround I think.
I've uploaded a patch that sets the sensitivity to 10. I think this will hide the issue until someone can come up with a better fix for the underlying issue.

- Stable branch. We're switching things up a bit this time. We have had
a slightly warmed over freeze. And we plan to maintain a stable branch for 0.44. Could we perhaps tie up loose ends and tighten down our committing habits tomorrow, Thursday June 8th? Then in the evening US Central time, I will branch 0.44 we can begin the absolute freeze on that branch, all fixes going into the tracker, and reopen HEAD for those eager to wreak havoc. If all goes well cut the release from the branch on Tuesday. Sound like a plan?
Speak up now. :-)
Sounds great!
