Vote: Extend "Bugfix Accelerator 2026.2"
by Martin Owens 19 Jul '26

19 Jul '26

Dear Leadership, I've worked through with the help of Roland, all the data for the first 2/3rds of the Bug Accelerator program to assess if we should extend it. There are two factors for the extension itself: 1. Productivity and Focus The project so far has cleared about 55-60% of the 1.5 marked bugs. There has been a great deal of activity in both categorising, reviewing and fixing issues. The list of issues fixed can be found on the Inkscape membership blog. I assess that this has been remarkably successful. 2. Availability The second part is the availability of the three contractors to work for three more months. One programmer Sean, will not be available for an extension while the other two will be available. In order to keep the strength of the team and the dynamic of merge request reviews I recommend that we contract out to the next available person who applied for the original contract. Conclusion: I recommend we extend the program a further three months as originally planned. The same number of hours as we currently have. With the additional selection of a replacement programmer. Total renewal budget: $49,500 Terms: Same as "Bugfix Accelerator 2026.1" ========== VOTE ========== a. Approve the budget for BFA 2026.2, b. Disapprove c. Something else Thanks everyone! Best Regards, Martin Owens

Apple Developer Program
by René de Hesselle 09 Jul '26

09 Jul '26

Dear all, Background: ----------- Creating properly signed and notarized releases for macOS requires a paid membership in Apple's developer program. This membership comes in the form of a yearly subscription. So every year we get to decide anew if we see enough value in signing macOS releases to warrant the expense of 99 € that comes with it. It is possible to distribute and use unsigned apps on macOS just like on Windows. The downside is that a user has to take additional (but not overly complicated) steps to make this work while macOS itself discourages people from using unsigned apps. Proposal: --------- We've been creating signed macOS apps since 1.0 and I propose to continue this practice at the expense of 99 €. Additional information: ———————————------------ The last two years I payed for the membership out of my own pocket. Votes: ------ a. Agree to spend 99 € on the Apple Developer program b. Disapprove participation in the Apple Developer program c. Other: ________ René

Developer Meeting Notes; July 8th 2026

Hey Devs, Event: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/1/ Attending: Martin, Sean, Roland, Tav, Josh Tav has been working on fonts support. Found an interesting problem, added a new CSS attribute which enables the OPZ (optical size) axis. An interesting issue with the flood filter from being compiled. Has an MR which removes the 500x font size in 8041. Martin asks about font fallbacks and Tav asks about optical size support in pdfoutput. Martin asks to confirm that the optical is applied at document scale and not at zoom scale. Tav confirmed this is how he's done it. Sean is working on merge requests. One issue which he had a question about, the layers and objects dialog current is confused about selecting a layer, and multiple selection of layers and changing a layer in the layers manager. Martin explains the Ux situation and the history for why we are here and then suggests that using shift or other modifiers should always nulifiy layer manager functionality and focus on object selections. A small discussion about pages. Martin talks about his work; reserected the group translucency work which is now ready. A small node editing feature to confine to the curve of the line with cleanups. The rendering engine work is paused but is a bit delayed by the next steps which is going to be the final wiring which will upset a lot of functionality, and a small discussion about the dificulty with reviewing such a large merge request. Roland reports the happenings in the bug accelerator program; 60% done, various testing to make sure we are incorperating a lot of issues to improve the quality of the release. We talk about an AppImage issue that causes tablets not to work in X11. Martin suggests strongly that this shouldn't be a blocker, and shouldn't be on BAP's list since it's a minor issue of a testing build for a small number of users. Tav agrees and wants to have a look at it himself, since he has a tablet and an X11 distro to test in. Josh asks for the new rendering engine merge request to test: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7767 Martin warns that running inkscape won't see much, only runnings tests will exercise it until they can wire in the actual rendering. Thanks everyone for coming to the developer meeting. Best Regards, Martin Owens
