[Inkscape] GNOME Themes Extras 0.8.1 released
by Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller
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.

[Inkscape] Announcing Inkscape 0.41 Release
by Bryce Harrington
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.
