Graphics-by banner
by Ana Saiz García 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hi all I've been searching for the typical "graphics-by" banner to put it in a web and let all people know I've used Inkscape to make some of the graphics on the web, but i didn't manage to find anything. I don't know whether there is already something like that, but I've done one on my own and I wanted to share it with you in case somebody else want to use it. I don't know if I can send attachments to this list, so I give you two links from where you can download it. Here is the svg: http://david.f.v.free.fr/ana/imagenes/gfx_by_inkscape.svg And here is the png, with a more appropiate size for a banner: http://david.f.v.free.fr/ana/imagenes/gfx_by_inkscape.png Hope you like it :o) Ana -- "El más baldío de todos los días es aquél en que no hemos reído" (de Chamfort) http://www.cosasdedos.net http://ana.cosasdedos.net

Final release candidate for Inkscape 0.40
by Bryce Harrington 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hi All, Tonight we are entering the 'Hard Freeze', the very last phase before the final tagging and branching of 0.40, which is planned for tomorrow evening. Ted has created the final release candidate, 0.40pre5, which is now available from the website. Testing is essentially complete, however we're encouraging people to give the release a quick review. We're looking for silly mistakes like forgetting to update the version number, packaging problems, and major show-stopper bugs. But also add anything else you find to the bug tracker, and we can sort those issues out during the next development cycle. During this Hard Freeze phase, we're going to let the dust settle a bit, do a once-over, and then proceed with packaging and delivering the release. As with all prior releases, once it's cut we need to switch into marketing mode, in order to get the word out. This is where Inkscape users can make a big contribution. We want to get word out on all the major blogs, articles into relevant online magazines, and word of mouth to friends and family. Stay tuned. :-) Bryce

I'd say the following note from MSDN explains it all: --------------- Note The _popen function returns an invalid file handle, if used in a Windows program, that will cause the program to hang indefinitely. _popen works properly in a Console application. To create a Windows application that redirects input and output, read the section "Creating a Child Process with Redirected Input and Output" in the Win32 SDK. --------------- If you're interested in some code that does work with Win32 I'd be happy to provide it (I have some code lying around that would only need minimal changes).
