Developer Meeting Notes, March 26th 2023
Hi Everyone,
This is our first online meeting since the hackfest. Last week's meeting was canceled, so don't worry, you haven't missed any previous notes.
Event: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/1/ Present this week: Lazur, Martin, Jonathan, Tav, Thomas, Jabier, NPJ, Marc, Mikekov, Rafael Next Meeting: Monday, April 3rd
# Release Plans
The alpha release has been uncertain because of reports of deadly crashes on undo. The reports have been a little anecdotal though. The general consesnsus at the meeting is that we should release the alpha right away and then re-release a new alpha if this issue can be confirmed in the latest versions after several fixes. Users can be asked to be brave so long as they understand the risks.
Martin created the 1.3 and 1.3-alpha0 release objects on the website and Marc is planning on pushing the alpha out in the next two days. The mushroom about screen was used as the graphic for the alpha.
We have a few outstanding merge requests which we can merge immediately. The developer team spent some time looking at these merge requests for our activity at the end of the meeting to clear the backlog for the release.
# Jabier
Wants to merge some branches, some are minor fixes but need to have better and more descriptions to help reviewers understand what they do, we managed to merge two and attach reviewers to three others. Martin wanted to make sure the corners LPE upgrade is scheduled for after 1.3 since it's quite large.
# Jonathan
Some reverse engineering of the AI format and helping Nicco putting together the ai importer. Progress is going well, text is likely to be supportable.
Asked tav about the mesh gradient and having a number of nodes on the edges of the patches.
Gtk4 proposal is ready and waiting to be sent to the PLC. An email got lost and has been resent to Marc and Tav was asked to push the PLC election, nominating the proctor Pono to run the election.
# Marc
Has been busy and sick, with appologies.
# Martin
Recovering from travel. Made a video for the hackfest which has been well recieved. Bug accellerator program fixes are submitted and merge request management and pushing for the alpha release. Some website fixes for the about screen contest voting.
# MikeKov
Looking at a bug #4186 with the new preserve path functionality and trying to work around a fitting alogorythem. We could detect when it's not going to work well and then try a different method, or try to remove the constraints but with bad output. Bug has been assigned and tagged for 1.3.
#NPJ
Experimenting with Apple archetecture.
#Rafael
Worked on bugs as part of the accelerator program. Fixed four issues this week, one fix actually fixed two issues. Currently looking into a regression in patterns, where you can't see a marker using a pattern as a context-fill. Pair up with Martin to look into the problem.
#Tav
Spent a little time in the last week playing with Gtk4, try out the new Gtk List View, it wasn't performing quite as expected. It only generates widgets for things which are on the screen, but this makes the scrolling weird. Made a lsit of 10,000 items, it would scroll for a little bit but then it would jump around.
# Thomas
Doing some experiments for how to fix menus in macOS, contuing the work from the hackfest to see if there's an upstream patch that can be created.
# Team Activity
We looked at five merge requests with the Approve Please tag, and merged two, and assigned the rest to reviewers for further testing.
Thanks to everyone for coming to the meeting, see you all next week!
Thank you for the update, Martin!
