Over seven months after its previous 1.4.2 bugfix release, the popular open-source vector graphics editor Inkscape has issued its latest version, 1.4.3, as the third maintenance update to the 1.4 series, which includes roughly 124 bug and crash fixes.

Twenty-four of them fix crashes and freezes, many of which previously prevented users from opening specific files, exporting objects, or working reliably with text, paths, and Live Path Effects.

Several of these crashes affected common operations such as PDF export, text-on-path editing, layer manipulation, and alignment tools.

If most are relatively minor issues, then I think it's sensible to not release until the few major issues were fixed

Is there a lot of overhead to making a release of this type/size of project? Otherwise I would just release the fixes as they come, maybe one a week/month depending on fix rate. But maybe there's a cost to making a release, I dunno.
