I have succesfully built Inkscape 0.40-1 via Fink under Mac OS X 10.3 After I have moved to "~/Desktop/Inkscape.app/Contents" following the way explained for the Gimp.app The application lauches itself with a double-click and it is available there http://niwaconcept.free.fr//x11/Inkscape.zip But if it can be stored there that would be better. The file is 60 Mb do dwnload, and then 280 Mb for the software itself. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CompilingMacOsX ____________________ PowerMac G4 400 Mhz 1 Gb RAM Mac OS X 10.3.6 Ubuntu Linux PPC 4.10

[Inkscape] GNOME Themes Extras 0.8.1 released
by Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

A new release of GNOME themes extras is out. This is a pure maintenance release with some updated translations and all theme engines removed. Since both smooth and industrial gtk theme engines now are in the gtk- engines package this release of gnome-themes-extras have them removed. The future if gnome-themes-extras is quite uncertain. People interested in helping out with maintaining it are welcomed as most of the themes are now either completely unmaintained or only slowly progressing. So I am sending this to the inkscape,librsvg and openclipart lists with a plea for some new artists to come on board to help complete the themes. Witohut new contributors I will probably decide to stop maintaining g-t- e and instead split out Nuvola in a separate package as its the only theme which have new icons made for it at this point in time. More information and screenshots can be found here: http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/theme.php Anyway you find the latest release on ftp.gnome.org: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-themes-extras/0.8/gnome- themes-extras-0.8.1.tar.bz2 Christian

[Inkscape] Announcing Inkscape 0.41 Release
by Bryce Harrington 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

The Inkscape community is proud to announce the release of Inkscape 0.41, "A Cross-platform Open Source Vector Graphics (SVG) Drawing Tool" today. The primary focus of 0.41 has been bug fixing. With over 100 bugs fixed since the 0.40 release, this significantly strengthened Inkscape on Windows and for international users. We owe deep thanks to the many users who have worked patiently with us to report the problems and validate these fixes. Several serious crashes, memory leaks and mis-features are now corrected and certain areas are noticeably snappier thanks to user submitted bug reports. A couple new features also found their way in. First, the black and white tracing functionality introduced in 0.40 has been improved to also allow conversion of color and grayscale images. Second, is the addition of a new clone tiler facility which creates patterns, tesselations, and other sorts of geometric tiling arrangements. User requests and comments also stimulated a number of improvements to units handling, extensions, the Invert Selection command, layers selector, icon theming, and several new translations. A number of large scale changes are planned for the 0.42 release, including converting the interface to use Gtkmm and the incorporation of a new Document Object Model (DOM), which will provide the core to build scripting onto. This should keep us busy for a while! If you'd like to join in the work, please drop by. Inkscape. Draw Freely.
