Hi all,
If you are on Windows and and have a little extra time this week, you can help Inkscape out considerably.
There are several _bad_ bugs that are going to afflict Windows users of our new Inkscape release, that we may have a decent chance to eliminate. However, unfortunately our developers don't have access to Win32 machines, so cannot easily test their fixes to make sure they've fixed the issues.
If you are on Win32, and are comfortable installing and running extremely cutting edge stuff (including running gdb), you can help. We need someone who for the next week or two can install the latest code and test out a few bugs we're working on.
This is a great way to contribute to Inkscape and to directly make it better for Windows users, so if you've wanted to do that but felt that your technical skills were a bit light, this may be a perfect opportunity.
Email me if you're interested in helping, or contact Jon Cruz by email or IRC, to get started.

Hi Bryce,
I will have a little (emphasize little :-)) this week to test out.

I am not a developer. I usually download current LATEST.EXE files and put them into a recent complete package download. I have run gdb in the past but not recently. If this is of use then I am happy to help. Just let me know what to download and what to look for. I run Win2000sp4.
regards, Erik

Great, thanks! Several people have expressed interest which is good - the more testers, the easier it'll be and the better the coverage will be.
I would encourage those who will be participating in this testing to join the inkscape-tester list:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-tester
It's low traffic and will allow you to compare notes more easily.

Cool, you will definitely be able to help. Jon will provide more info about specific things to test to the inkscape-tester@ list, how to report back, and so forth.

Erik,
could you pls also test the pre2 package. There are two bugs reporting that the delivered dll's cause problems on the start of inkscape.
Can you confirm that?
