inkscape update to 0.40 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
I don't think the 0.40 release has already been released. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 But maybe it is a good idea to mark version 0.39 stable. Becaus it doesn't have any open bugs. And compiles smoothlessly on my system.
Inkscape 0.39 is _not_ stable... Try opening the Object > Text and Font dialog. Instant segfault.
No segfault here..
Three comments: 1.) This bug can be closed, or not? Inkscape 0.40 has still not been released so this BR is simply wrong... 2.) Is your crash the same as bug 67781? http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67781 3.) 0.39 doesn't crash on my system and I use Inkscape a lot (lets say, 30 minutes per day since 0.39 has been released, makes some full days I think).
I probably downloaded a Development snapshot at that time :\, lets wait until they release it for real.
