New Inkscape 0.92 breaks your previous works done with Inkscape

It's a bit ranty (Devoy seems very frustrated - which I can understand 100%), but it's certainly also good to be informed about this kind of thing.

An interesting point here is the idea that he as a user/FOSS-proponent could be "blamed" for the symptoms of a bug. I'm not sure, how far that could go, but it puts a new perspective on the issue.

Does anyone have insights on how projects best deal with similar issues?

Don't they use regression testing? How hard could it be to render a bunch of images and compare them to the ones from previous version. I'm still on 0.91 though.
