Hi all,
We are closing in on the 0.42 release, and getting the last few bugs
fixed.
There are a _number_ of bugs which appear to be Windows-only.
Unfortunately, since the developers are linux-based, it's hard to
determine how to fix them and to check that the fixes worked. Thus, if
you are a Windows Inkscape user, we really need your help right now, in
the run up to the release.
Please review the Bug Tracker, and in particular look at the bugs that
are ranked at '9'. Install both 0.41 and a version from CVS, and try to
recreate each bug on each copy. Then add a comment to the bug report
about whether you can or cannot replicate the error.
Make sure you're logged into SourceForge, so the developers can contact
you with more questions or to verify if a change fixed it. If you do
not have a SourceForge account, please include your email address.
If you want to help even more, it is extremely valuable to have
backtraces. You can learn how to make backtraces on the Report A Bug
page on the website. The more you can do to help narrow in on where the
bug occurs, the more quickly it can be fixed.
Please try to find a couple evenings over the next week to devote to
doing some testing; even if you can only test a few bugs, you will help
make Inkscape on Windows that much more robust.
Thanks,
Bryce
