Announcing librsvg 2.11.1 aka 'Brownish paper bag'
by Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller
The librsvg team is happy to announce librsvg 2.11.1
librsvg is a SVG rendering library maintained by Dom Lachowicz and Caleb
Moore and used among other places in the GNOME desktop.
This release of librsvg contains a few critical fixes. It fixes the dpi
API which mistakenly got broken in the 2.11.0 release. It also improves
the pattern used to recognize svg files in the gdkpixbuf loader so that
your desktop SVG files will once again work.
More information on the librsvg homepage:

You can download librsvg from:

Requests/Suggestions from Artists.
by Dan Ostrowski
Hello all,
A while back I emailed David Vignoni (Nuvola icon set fame) and told him
about some new features in Inkscape. He emailed me back from aKadamy recently
with this:
> Hello Dan,
>
> I'm at aKademy and me (i'm the nuvola guy) and nuno pinheiro we are
> working on a new full svg icon theme for kde. I'm still using
> illustrator and he is using inkscape. Nuno is going to provide some
> feedback since he's using inkscape really a lot and doing very nice
> stuff with it. We hope oour feedback may help in some way your great
> software.
I guess he assumed I was on "the team" but I was just trying to spread the
word about Inkscape. *shrug* Anyhow, Nuno emailed me too with this feedback:
> Hi my name is Nuno Pinheiro, and i love inkscape :) !
>
> Well one of the things we want to try to implement, is a color pallet,
> to use it i have to make an text file that i recour every time i need
> a specific colour, that i need in a specific point of an gradient.
> so the feature i would really appreciate would be the collorpick on
> the edit gradient layout. that is i think, a simple feature to add and
> one that would have the most deep impact on the productivity side of
> things.
>
> i have many more little features to ask but i will leave that to an
> other time!
> cheers
I don't know if this is of any value to you, but Nuno will be helping David on
the new KDE icon set, so he seems like a source of quality feedback. I've let
them know that I passed their comments along, mentioned the swatches in 0.42,
and let them know that hopefully someone more knowledgeable than myself would
be contacting him.
Hope this helps,
Dan Ostrowski

Inkscape still does not work on FC
by Artur Rataj
Hello!
Static binary 42.0 did not work, the latest sources 42.2 compiled but
did not work.
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x09557d60 ***
As for now, I can use some old versions and read about the latest
Inkscape features on your site ;)
Cheers,

Clip Art Browser 0.39
by Greg Steffensen
I'm releasing version 0.39 of the clip art browser. Naturally, this is an
almost-ready snapshot of the next major release, 0.4. Installation works the
same as with past releases, although I don't think Jon's very cool Makefile
will work. The two big missing features that will be added for 0.4 are
making the "Import Clip Art" gui (it requires threading, and pygtk threading
always drives me nuts), and some kind of progress bar during the retrieval
of large result sets.
For this version, a ton of code was revamped, and the result is a
significantly more usable and more extensible product (I think). The
interface, in particular, was violently redone.
http://sharelinux.org/?q=node/1
You'll have to index your clip art using the indexClipart.py script before
using it. Also, for now, I wouldn't reccomend using the ocal_net module with
it, simply for performance... once I have a progress dialog, that will be
more doable. There's a ton of changes in here, most of which were inspired
by the recent thread about the project on this mailing list (in particular,
Nathan's xml category-hierarchy idea proved useful). Also, this version is
significantly more independent of Inkscape. I'll provide more documentation
soon, but check out the config file; you can now have it open up images in
arbitrary programs that you specify, all cleanly integrated into the UI.
Feedback, as always, is very welcome. I'll try to have 0.4 out by, oh say...
Wednesday :).

Re: [Inkscape-devel] CVS compile broken
by Ralf Stephan
Hello,
First, an explanation. Recent fowlups with my commits not compiling
(although they do here) happened because my process here is not fully
automatized and single files were not committed. No excuse.
Thanks to David, cvs compiles again. I owe you one. Will close the
automation gap.
Sincerely,
ralf

virtual functions in GObjects
by MenTaLguY
You can't use virtual functions in GObjects. At all. Introducing a
virtual function to a class changes the resulting object layout in a way
that is wholly incompatible with GObject.
If you need something virtual-like before a class hierarchy has been
transitioned away from GObject, you _must_ use the normal GObject
mechanisms for that (i.e. adding an entry to the GObjectClass-ish vtable
and then writing a (non-virtual) wrapper method that calls explicitly
through that function pointer).

Bugs in Stroke Dialog
by John Taber
On Inkscape 0.4.2.0, I've run across a few bugs with strokes:
1) With end markers, Left arrow is bigger than right arrow (assuming
something like Arrow1Sstart, Arrow1Send) - seems to do this for
large,medium,small arrows
2) The entry box for dash spacing will not accept any values
3) The combo popup for line end types gives different choices -
sometimes large arrow is available, pick another marker, then large
becomes available again. Plus there is often a large blank portion of
the combo list.
