Great!
Can you merge the guides code for this release? It's ready for inclusion as far as I can tell.

As you can see here, guides are already included since it was not needed any merge to include them into master, just a simple rebase.
master already include:

• nikitakit_guides
• nikitakit_ducks
• nikitakit_cairo_gui
• genete_advanced_outline

in that order.

Guides work very well as I have tested in my computer.

Oh, I see. I was just confused when I didn't see a merge message right at the top.

yaiy! starting my day with good news, i can't wait to test the RCs, i have been playing with the advanced line layer, it's very interesting but i can't figure out any use for it, it was already possible to achieve the same effect animating the weight of ducks. looking forward to the first RC

yesterday i built a git version (RC1) and play a bit with advanced outline, really nice one! except the rendering hang up my synfig totally, I am considering to report it as a bug.

... and the release candidate for Mac! https://github.com/synfig-osx/tree/mast ... udio-rc.rb (untested as of this moment, but thinking of building tomorrow morning.) It can also build a .app with `brew linkapps`.

The link gives me a 404 error.

The correct link: https://github.com/secondplanet/synfig- ... udio-rc.rb

Morevna project:
Recently completed tasks: Demo released
Top priority tasks: Website reorganization

Respect to translations, I will add to master branch any updated translation at http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/synfig/ until May 15th.
Past that day, I won't wait for any other translator request of waiting. Any further work will be included in next release.

Respect to splash screen, this time it will be a bit different. This splash will remain until 0.64 and won't change between minor releases. Also, there won't be public voting pool. Only Synfig Administrators will select the winner. In case of no entries or not good enough any of them, the Synfig team can choose a finalist of any of the past challenges.

It is planned to have minor releases more frequently, even if only some bugs has been killed.

I've started to translate to French at Transifex, but I think you have to add me in the group to get my changes included, as if I can see my commits only if I'm logged (Synfig Studio to 100% and Core to 83% yet ; My name there is Animtim )

Hey I'm having an issue with the RC (deb 64 on Ubuntu 10.10):

"synfigstudio: error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-render-util.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I think that a dependency link to libxcb-render-util0 is missing, I installed it then now it works
