ANN: Crucible 1.7 released
by Bryce Harrington
Hi all,
Crucible is the automated test harness we've used for testing Inkscape.
It's also in use for a number of projects including Cairo, GEGL, Linux
NFSv4, and Linux CPU Hotplug to do automated building and testing. Much
has changed in this release; most notably is the new installation
system, making it possible to get Crucible up and running in a matter of
minutes.
Kees and I have also installed it on the quad PPC machine he received
for Inkscape testing. Some work is still needed to hook things up but I
hope to get that finished within a week or two.
The code is available here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/crucible/crucible-1.7.tar.gz
Crucible provides a powerful, flexible backend for building automated
testing systems. It allows for conducting tests on multiple machines
(via NFS), including patching, rebuilding, and booting new kernels,
libraries, and services. Configuration and customization can be done
through simple config files and bash scripts. It is suitable for
performing tests of GUI applications, services, libraries, and kernel
patches.
Changes: A new installation system is in place, which should make it
straightforward to getting a basic crucible install up and running
quickly. Lots of documentation has been added. There is a new
post-installation test 'make installcheck'. Directory locations have
been abstracted. Internals have been abstracted and generalized, giving
more flexibility for customization/extension. Several new subcommands
added to 'sut' script for managing system images, adding new machines,
etc. A new queue_plan script is added for doing easier one-off
testruns. Kernel building is more robust and generalized.

patches in the tracker
by Jon Phillips
Hi all, could you all take a look at what is in the inkscape patch
tracker so we can get some flow through there.
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=browse&group_id=93438&atid=604308
I closed out my assigned patches which took about 15 minutes. Hopefully
a few more people could do this as well.
It really helps churn up activity and get more developers attracted to
the project.

Feature request: DPI value of imported graphic shouldn't be ignored
by Vladimir Savic
While doing some graphic design for printing I'm often obliged exchanging
pixmap and vector graphics between GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus.
Inkscape discards DPI of GIMP exported graphics, which is really unintuitive.
Drawings that GIMP displays exactly how they were saved previously (I'm
referring to format here -- A3, A4, B5 etc.) Inkscape opens at wrong DPI thus
they're a few times bigger.
Not a big deal when the whole page is exported from gimp (just scale picture
at format's dimensions) , but makes things complicated if many smaller
components are imported to be assembled in Inkscape. I must write down every
single component's width or height and scale it proportionally. Really time
consuming...

This would be a killer extension to have....
Make registration marks and/or make crop/cutline marks! Whoa!
ACSpike, what do you think? Bulia? Others?

NEW: more stuff in Help menu
by bulia byak
Since none of our standard libs could offer a cross-platform, easily
available way to launch an URL in the user's default browser, I looked
around and found exactly what we need in Python (which we carry
anyway) - the standard "webbrowser" module. So I created some Python
extensions to launch various URLs using webbrowser.open calls, and put
them into Help menu:
- Inkscape Manual links to
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php, do you think
we should host a redirect at inkscape.org instead?
- Command line options: http://inkscape.org/doc/inkscape-man.html
- FAQ on wiki
- Release notes for the current version
- "Report a bug" page
- SVG 1.1 specification at w3.org
I tested this and it seems to work well in Linux and Windows. Let me
know if you have any problems. Also feel free to suggest other "launch
an URL" commands for Inkscape (openclipart? wiki? inkscape.org?
Aaron's extension page?)
The only change I made in the core of Inkscape was to allow an inx
file to specify <effects-menu hidden="yes"/> so that these new
extensions don't automatically show up in the Effects menu.

PDF Export
by MenTaLguY
We've got two Cairo PDF exporters right now -- the regular one and the
"experimental" one. Which one should we focus on polishing for the 0.45
release?
