Have there been any discussions as to when the next version of Inkscape will be formally released? We've been on 0.48.4 since December 2012. In mid-December 2013 you announced that version .49 would be released as version .91, but since then there has been no information since about version .91 -- what it would do, when it would be available, nothing.
Obviously Inkscape works well enough for my needs, since I'm still using it, I'm just wondering what the plans are for moving it forward.

I'm not a dev so I don't have the full info on when. But the what is clearly documented: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.91
Thanks, Alex
Thanks for that link!
.49 is occasionally mentioned on the list, because people use it. That is one of the nice things about Open Source projects, you can use development / testing versions if you are willing to deal with the occasional bug (I have withheld myself because I am still learning the full capabilities of .48, and I have heard .49 is sufficiently different). When people ask about a feature or bug, sometimes one of the developers will say that there is a fix / addition in the codebase that will be released when .49 is. So there has not been nothing about 'what it would do'. I too would be interested to see a timeline of expected release, but I trust from the occasional mentions of it on the list that it is proceeding basically as planned. I am sure there is even more discussion on the developer list. -Arlo James Barnes
Sorry for the duplicated info, for some reason my email client did not display the previous two emails until after I had sent mine. Cheers, -Arlo James Barnes
