[Inkscape] Announcing Inkscape 0.38 Release
by Bryce Harrington
= Inkscape 0.38 =
The focus of this release has been our Bug Hunt. Of the 57 open bug
reports at the time of our last release, only 12 remain; of the 107 bugs
submitted during this bughunt, all but 17 are now closed; the ratio of
open to total bugs went down from 33% to 10%. Of the 285 bugs reported
since the inception of the project, fewer than 30 remain. In total,
over 135 bug reports were closed during the Bug Hunt. Countless other
bugs were discovered by the developers and exterminated on the spot
without ever going into the tracker. We are especially appreciative of
the many users who have helped us identify the various bugs and verify
the solutions.
Aside from bugfixes, a good deal of new features and usability
enhancements went into this release:
* Text and fonts: full kerning and spacing support, better installed
font detection, better alternate font matching, better usability
* Path operations: new commands to cut paths, less distortions, better
usability
* Gradients: full support for multi-stop gradients, bugfixes
* Shape tools: polygons, dramatically better usability with the top
panel, bugfixes
* Libinkjar: a library for compound document support of packaged SVG and
PNG files
* Pure usability: canvas autoscrolling, accelerated scrolling, inversion
for visibility, more intuitive cut-and-paste, per-object selection
indication, save dialog, new icons
* Paraphernalia: new and expanded tutorials, clipart, translation
updates

[Inkscape] Inkscape Project Stats - April 4, 2004
by Bryce Harrington
Project Status
Sunday, April 4, 2004
We've achieved the goal set forth for the 0.38 release. The ratio of
open-to-closed bug reports has been reduced from 33% to our goal of 10%,
representing over 160 bugs closed during the 0.38 development cycle. Of
the total of 285 bugs registered against Inkscape since the project's
inception, fewer than 30 remain.
We're ready at this point to make the release, but want to do some final
QA, doublecheck that the contributed translation work is incorporated,
and see about getting a couple critical Windows bugs patched.
Looking forward, we've greatly revised our roadmap, stretching it out as
far as the 0.51 release. Note that our roadmap is a reflection of what
developers anticipate needing/wanting to work on, rather than a
cast-in-stone set of orders, and is expected to change as we learn more
and as new developers with new interests get involved.
For this next release, we'd previously identified Extensions as the
focus, however we're not as far along in terms of design as we need to
be, so instead have pushed that back a couple releases, and will be
focusing on adopting first Pango in 0.39, then GtkMM in 0.40. The Pango
adoption is expected to solve a wide number of rather deep bugs and
fundamental limitations in the text system, while the GtkMM change has
been long anticipated for helping us get the GUI code in better, more
maintainable order.
