[Inkscape] Inkscape 0.92.4 bugfix release
by Bryce Harrington
Inkscape has launched version 0.92.4 with increased stability. This
update delivers some notable performance improvements for filter
rendering, saving and moving paths (with a live path effect), and the
measure tool.
Download Inkscape 0.92.4 packages here:
https://inkscape.org/release/
The key improvements in this version will enable Inkscape users to do or
experience the following:
* Align multiple objects as a group relative to a single object
* Write image data to standard output
* Experience extensions working faster within complex documents
* See improved speed when deselecting a path with many nodes
* Ungroup text elements won’t result in changed font size of children
* Able to print and / or print correct paper size with printers
(especially Canon, EPSON, Konica Minolta)
* See improved performance of the measure tool when grids are visible
* See proper opacity of partially transparent embedded bitmap images in
PDF export
* Able to Shift/Ctrl-click on control handles of shapes without crashing
* Build Inkscape with up-to-date poppler library 0.72.0 – useful for
Mac users building with Homebrew
Translation and documentation updates
-------------------------------------
The Icelandic and Brazilian Portuguese user interface (UI) translations
have been updated. Inkscape’s Ukranian and Hungarian documentation
translations have also been revised in this version.
Join an Inkscape project team
-----------------------------
There is always room for developers, especially those who can help with
the following:
* Package version 0.92.4 for Mac
* Prepare the upcoming Inkscape 1.0 to be usable on MacOS
* Help with programming a great UI for some of the new features in 1.0
* Help fix bugs and implement new features
* Wrangle Python
Head here https://inkscape.org/contribute/ to find out more about
joining the ranks.
Inkscape is always happy to welcome new contributors to help complete
documentation and other elements of the project that are translated into
many different languages. The project is seeking support with interface,
documentation and other content translation. If you would like to
contribute, head to https://inkscape.org/contribute/translations/
Another great way to help Inkscape is through Vectors, who are the
marketing, outreach, and promotion team for Inkscape. Designers,
artists, marketers, writers, and anyone enthusiastic about bringing
Inkscape to more people in more places, is welcome to join.
Inkscape alpha version 1.0 seeking testers
------------------------------------------
As the project advances towards an alpha release of version 1.0, the
Inkscape teams are seeking developers interested in testing the alpha
ahead of release.
Download 1.0 alpha at:
https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.0alpha0/
Report new issues in Inkscape's Inbox:
http://inkscape.org/inbox
Watch Inkscape.org https://inkscape.org/ and social media channels for
the latest details on the progress of the 1.0 development work.
Mac OS: Inkscape needs your help
--------------------------------
As few Inkscape volunteer developers use Mac, the project needs someone
who knows how to automatically package a .dmg file, to enable Mac users
to test the alpha version, along with Mac equipment to run continuous
integration jobs.
If you're interested in working on this, please introduce yourself on
one of our discussion channels, and keep an eye out for other Mac
volunteers to work with on this important task.

Thanks, yes that is the better link.
Or use the shortcut Martin set up for us, which I believe is going to be
inkscape.org/report/.

[Inkscape] Issue tracking for Inkscape moves to Gitlab
by Bryce Harrington
Hi all,
As of this week, the Inkscape project is shifting to Gitlab for issue
tracking in place of Launchpad.
https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/-/issues
We've been using Gitlab for our code hosting and other purposes for a
year and a half now[1], and have found it to be reliable and
convenient. We didn't migrate Issue Tracking until now, so we could
take time to make sure we had a plan:
1. Going forward, new bug reports should be filed only in Gitlab.
2. Launchpad will remain available as a historical archive of our bug
reports. Filing bugs there will remain possible for now, but
discouraged.
3. Bugs in Launchpad that are still reproducible in Inkscape 0.92.4 or
newer can be re-filed on Gitlab and closed on Launchpad.
We are planning efforts to help organize the migration work and keep
track of progress. More info on this will be coming soon.
Eventually, when the necessary bugs have been migrated, bug reporting in
Launchpad will be shut off.
We're enthused about this change, and hope you too will find gitlab a
more user friendly way to report issues, and we'd love your help
triaging and solving Inkscape bugs.
Bryce
