Inkscape 1.1 is the latest major release of Inkscape, following one year
of development after the 1.0 major release.
The highlights of this release are:
* A Welcome dialog, where the look of Inkscape can be selected, and
some choices for the new document's size or file to open are available
* A Command palette that opens when the '?' key is pressed, that allows
to search and use many functions without having to use a keyboard
shortcut or going through the menus
* It is now possible to copy, cut and paste parts of paths with the
Node tool
* The dialog docking system has been rewritten, which resolves many
issues with Inkscape's docked dialogs and allows you to dock dialogs on
either side of the screen
* New Outline Overlay mode that displays object outlines while also
showing their real colors
* Preferences options are now easier to find by using the new search field
* It is no longer necessary to remember to click on 'Export' in the
PNG
Export dialog, as the exporting will already happen after the click on
'Save' in the file selection dialog.
* Export as JPG, TIFF, optimized PNG and WebP directly from Inkscape
* When pasting a copied object, Inkscape now pastes it directly on top
of the currently selected object by default
* An extension for updating extensions and installing additional
extensions, called the Extension Manager (currently in beta stage)
We also introduced a long list of new features outlined in detail and
illustrated at
https://media.inkscape.org/media/doc/release_notes/1.1/Inkscape_1.1.html .
