Do you have further info such as a URL for this bug? Google gives tens of thousands of results for likely keywords. On the basis that exchange is no robbery, this URL might be of interest to people wanting some background on how to choose floats or ints. http://ridiculousfish.com/blog/?p=24 Ben

Inkscape 0.43 mini-status
by Jon A. Cruz 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

I *believe* that we're in hard freeze and about set to do a Pre1. Translators should look into the file attached to RFE 1247694 "No ((parenthesis)) in menu labels.", and see if it should be applied or not. I think we've got a pending item still with Scislac updating the Calligraphy tutorial. There are a few translation patches that still need to be applied. I should be able to get to those tonight.

Got the program from the Inkscape home page (downloads) > 3. Running Windows ver 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4, GTK 2.0, Glib 2.0 Kevin, are these fonts that you see much smaller than the usual ones, or do you want them bigger as usual? If the former, then this behaviour is not normal for inkscape. Font sizes cannot be changed by us, however, that would be done in Gtk I think. Can someone from the list comment on this? Also, if you want to use Inkscape under KDE please read the Known Issues in the 0.43 Release Notes. ralf

Testing framework Crucible 1.3 released
by Bryce Harrington 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Crucible is a testing framework backend, allowing for automated testing of software such as GUI applications, libraries, services, or the Linux kernel. This is the first public release of the software. It can be downloaded here: http://crucible.sf.net/crucible-1.3.tar.gz It is also registered with freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/crucible Some of Crucible's unique features: * Allows for separate scheduling of test runs, to enable smart queue management such as distributing test runs across multiple machines. * Uses NFS for file sharing and remote procedure invocation between test driver and SUTs. * No database needed! Customization and operation can be controlled directly with normal file system operations. * Virtualization, power management, serial console capture, reimaging, etc. can be configured modularly on a machine-by-machine basis. Note that this is not an all-in-one testing harness, but rather a core engine for driving a test system. You'll need to hook up your own front end and report post processing tools if needed, and add in your own test programs. (Separate front end and reporting tools are in the works and will be released later as add-ons.) Bryce

Jabber logging
by Bryce Harrington 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

We've turned off logging on the Jabber channel, at Ishmal's request. He felt it would give a better sense of privacy for discussions if there were no logs. The logs up until Oct 30 will be kept. We have also added a robots.txt file to prevent google searching/caching of the old logs. Bryce

future node tool enhancements
by Aaron and Sarah Spike 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Can we compile a list of enhancements that people would like to see made to the node tool? Just ideas not necessarily plans. 1) Preserve curve shape as much as possible when deleting nodes. Look into feeding the curve fitting function in bezier-utils.cpp a list of sampled points to find the best single segment approximation. (Recently mentioned) 2) Curve dragging mode in which the end tangents are preserved at least for smooth nodes, so as not to disturb adjacent segments. Look at hacking the current curve dragging function to only apply the component of the motion vector that is parallel to the end tangent (right words?). Don't know how it will behave, mostly just to satisfy a personal curiosity. 3) Segment draging. ie grab a segment with a single click and drag both nodes and the corresponding control points around preserving the curve of that segment. I find I want to do this a lot while doodling but using the rubberband breaks my work flow up. Wonder if it would be useful to people doing real work. Aaron Spike

Libre Graphics Meeting website
by David Neary 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi all, The Libre Graphics Meeting website is online at http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org - it's still pretty sparse, and is powered by spip. If anyone would like to be a writer or editor for the site, please contact me off-list, and I'll sort you out. People with some design sense especially appreciated :) Proposed edits to existing pages are welcome too, but I'm a bit busy at the moment, so becoming a writer or editor's probably quicker :) Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary bolsh@...85...

Nope. We already have that. This would be a special case of the same functionality. Aaron Spike
