CVS branches
by Arpad Biro 05 Aug '05

Hi, Besides HEAD, is there any other CVS branch that we should commit (translations) to before 0.42.1? I only committed new translations to HEAD as usual -- but not sure if 0.42.1 will be based on that branch... Arpad Biro __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Mike, Thanks for that information. More that a few users have noticed this problem so I'm copying the list with this reply.

0.42.1 and Ubuntu Feature Freeze
by Corey Burger 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Hey All, As some of you already know, I am trying to get 0.42 in the next version of Ubuntu, due in October. Inkscape is a supported program, and thus there are strict dates for uploading, one of which we have already passed. Now, the Feature Freeze is rapidly approaching (Aug 11). and I hear of crashers in 0.42. I already know that several of you already use and promote Ubuntu. It would truly suck if 0.42.1 missed Breezy. Corey

Vers 0.42 in Debian Unstable ?
by John Taber 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

I'm aware of the gcc issues but I thought it was mentioned that .42 was available in Debian unstable but I dont' see it there (latest 0.41-5). Any word? If it's not going to be there for a while, what is the best alternative, autopackage ?

AW: [Inkscape-devel] 0.42.1 status
by Taraben, Adib 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Bulia, I tested just yesterday with Win98 +latest libs and German umlauts in the filename. So I can confirm the non ASCII-filename-crash - the dialog shows the file-name with some cryptic characters (this might be UTF8 for the special character) - opening this chrashes Inkscape - I have not found the place where I can put the filename in a inputline - the very latest gdb 6.3 needs an other lib which only exists under WinNT+above. Adib -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: inkscape-devel-admin(a)lists.sourceforge.net im Auftrag von bulia byak Gesendet: Fr 8/5/2005 08:39 An: MenTaLguY; Bob Jamison; Jon A. Cruz Cc: Inkscape ML Betreff: Re: [Inkscape-devel] 0.42.1 status Update on the open dialog crash: fixed by upgrading to newest libs (thanks Ishmal). However I run into another problem: Cyrillic filenames crash on open in Win98. I traced this down to fp = std::fopen(filename, how.c_str()); in io/sys.cpp, line 169. This fails, so fp == NULL. However, Inkscape::IO::file_test on the same filename works, using g_file_test. So I thought that if I replace std::fopen with g_fopen in the above, it may work. Unfortunately this fails at linking: libinkscape.a(sys.o):sys.cpp:(.text+0x2a7d): undefined reference to `g_fopen(char const*, char const*)' Ishmal: is this function missing in your libs? Can you add it? -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Implementaion of Division Command
by Kevin Wixson 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

What's the reasoning behind Inkscape's implementation of Division as opposed to having two overlapping shapes resulting in three pieces, including the exclusion area of the top (stacking order) shape in addition to the exclusion area of the bottom object and intersection? I illustrated the question at http://www.angelfire.com/mi/kevincharles/inkscape/division.html Thanks, -Kevin

Congratulations on 0.42!
by mike＠...869... 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Hi guys, I just wanted to congratulate the entire Inkscape team on the 0.42 release. I tried the final version and it works really well - in fact I've been using it at work to do some of the graphics for a commercial product we're working on. You guys have one of the best managed and most approachable open source projects around, and you should be proud of that. I'd also like to thank you all for bearing with us as maintainership of the Inkscape autopackage transitioned away from me to Aaron. It's a young technology but judging by the number of people using the Inkscape package, it seems to be working OK. You can see how many people are installing an autopackage for the first time by looking at the runtime download statistics. Notice how much higher todays figure is already than yesterdays (which was the first full day of counting) - and it's only 10:30am! That's the impact of your release: http://autopackage.org/stats.php I'm at work at the moment (so can only play with the Windows build) and have no net access where I'm currently staying, but I'll see if I can take home the autopackage on my mp3 player and test it on my laptop. Finally, I just realised that mail2web.com was breaking threading on the list ... sorry about that. If anybody knows a better IMAP->webmail gateway please let me know. Again, congratulations! I can't wait to see what goodies the next version has in it. thanks -mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Put your menu where your mouth is
by Ted Gould 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Okay, So, for a little project I made all the menus configurable by a file in your home directory ~/.inkscape/menus.xml. They use the verb ids, and you can pretty much move things around how ever you'd like. There are still some rough edges, but it should be stable enough to have people start passing around files of how they'd like the menus for discussion. Then people can try them out. Okay, I'm going to bed. --Ted

It's trying to work.... > Mike, any idea what this is about? See this page: http://autopackage.org/help.html The solution is to run "yum install compat-libstdc++-33" as root. Fedora dropping libstdc++.so.5 so quickly and with such blatant disregard for binary compatibility caught us off-guard. A solution for this problem will appear in the next stable release of autopackage (1.0.6), which will come out either: a) At the weekend, if I get time to do it or b) When Hongli gets out of lazy-mode :) Basically the "fix" involves us simply registering an autopackage repository containing the libstdc++.so.X libraries so that if they're missing it can depsolve them onto the system automatically. Thanks for bearing with us while we deal with the mess Red Hat and other distros have made (this change breaks the official Mozilla installer, most games, RealPlayer ... virtually everything). thanks -mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
