Hi everyone,

Bryce and Adib have added the pre5 prerelease, the page

https://inkscape.org/en/download/development-versions/

has been updated to include it.

Below, find Bryce's plan, which he sent to the devel list, for the release, and his message about the release meeting (if anyone has a couple of minutes to come to the board meeting and offer help with release planning tonight, that would be cool, too. I think we still need someone to write that announcement...):

=================

Hope everyone is having a great holiday!

We're nearly done with 0.92.0 - great work everyone and thanks especially to everyone fixing up bugs and updating translations.

Final RC will be cut Wed the 28th. Translation updates are ok to continue landing until then. Bug fixes please check with me and expect some friendly pushback.

I'd like the final RC to be identical to what we release, so we don't release with anything untested. So ideally there should be NO changes after the 28th. In practice some minor polish is probably acceptable; but if there are any significant changes we'll need to do further RC's.

The 0.92.0 release will happen this weekend or very early next week, assuming we don't need further RC's. We need short turnarounds for packaging so we can get announcements out swiftly. I think we can do it.

We can start planning for a 0.92.1 release. There's a healthy amount of energy going into bug fixing right now, and our users will appreciate if we continue. Some fixes will need string changes, so I'll propose we also encourage translation updates. I would like to shoot for early February with this release.

Additionally, a focus for 0.92.1 could be on bug management tools. I.e., warning dialogs, workarounds, and bug reporting helper scripts. Josh mentioned that having a button to reset old prefs could work around some mesh problems, and I'm betting there's more we could do like that.

Hi all,

We'll be holding an Inkscape Committee meeting this Friday the 30th of December, on #inkscape-devel, at Noon Pacific.

http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Board_Meetings

All in the Inkscape community are welcome to attend.

Since I suspect many people are on vacation this week, we'll play the agenda by ear, but give focus to issues relating to the release and current status of Spreadshirt.

Thanks, Bryce
