Zero Install metadata for Inkscape 0.44
by Thomas Leonard
I've added the RPM for 0.44 to the Zero Install interface file. I've put
up a copy here:
http://0install.net/tests/Inkscape.xml
Run this way, the RPM works on Debian/unstable, Debian/testing and
Ubuntu/5.10 (if you have libglitz, libstdc++6, libgtkspell0,
libgnomevfs2-0 and libxslt1.1 installed). It does not work on Debian/sarge
(due to a (bogus?) dependency on pangocairo).
If you'd like to host this on the inkscape.org site, the steps are:
1. Download the XML above:
$ wget http://0install.net/tests/Inkscape.xml
2. Get 0publish (if you don't have it already):
$ 0alias 0publish http://0install.net/2006/interfaces/0publish
3. Set the URI to the address on the inkscape site where it will be made
available, and resign with your GPG key:
$ 0publish Inkscape.xml \
--set-interface-uri=http://inkscape.org/2006/Inkscape.xml \
--key=Jean
4. This will also create a .gpg file with your public key. Upload both to
the same directory on the web-server.
People will then be able to install it using:
$ 0alias inkscape http://inkscape.org/2006/Inkscape.xml
or by dragging to their GUI installer.
Thanks,

Summer of Code mid-program reviews
by Bryce Harrington
The forms for filling out reviews are now available. Google extended
the deadline a bit - we have until the 5th to get reviews in.
All mentors should go here and fill it out (it's quick!)
http://code.google.com/soc/mentor_home.html
In your review, one thing to consider is if the student has published
some code, and if it has been integrated into the main codebase.

0.44.1 stable
by Ralf Stephan
Hello,
in my opinion, there is now evidence of the most urgent things that
should be patched in 0.44.1. For every except one of these (gcc-4.2)
there is a patch in the tracker. Maybe some are not urgent or safe
enough for stable, so I ask mental to review the following:
- compile failure with gcc-4.2.x (working with submitter)
- 1510462 crash bug 1509854 (maybe unsafe, untested)
- 1512200 ODG export problem (by ishmal)
- 1513113 OSX problems when space in path (by mwybrow)
- 1498946 PNG export now saves resolution (deemed safe by me)
-----------------------------------------------------------
- 1509634 Full en_GB translation
- 1512096 Slovak strings for Windoze installer
- 1509834 Polish strings for Windoze installer
- 1507788 Vietnamese strings for Windoze installer
- 1509842 French update to keys and other svgs
- 1509828 German update to translation
- 1509487 Spanish update to translation
Already fixed in stable head (and added to 0.44 Release Notes) is:
* fix a crash on Windows ("python.exe can't find msvcrt71.dll") by
providing that dll in the package;
* added missing German version of the advanced tutorial and made
corrections to the calligraphy one; added missing Czech, German, and
Brazil-Portuguese tutorials to tarball;
* several changes to allow compiling on glib-2.4 systems (e.g. RHEL4);
Please decide which to reject,
Regards,

copying of arrays / gcc-4.2.x
by Ralf Stephan
Hello,
with version 4.2.x of gcc (and Intel's icc) it is no longer possible
to circumvent ISO restrictions like this (selected-style.cpp:115):
- _drop((void*[]){0,0}),
- _dropEnabled((bool[]){false, false})
Please use normal per-element initialization in the code now.

Wiki Users Page
by David Wilson
I notice that there are a lot of users with wiki pages in the main
namespace (ie # BryceHarrington). Each user of the wiki has a page
under "User:username" if people that have user pages that do not start
with "User:" please merge and redirect your old page.

Greetings,
This is an automated quota-overage notice. Do not respond to this email,
instead follow the instructions below if you have questions or concerns
regarding this mailing.
You are receiving this message as your SourceForge.net project,
inkscape, is currently over its quota in its project group directory
located on the SourceForge.net shell server. Your project has a 100000 k
soft quota and your project is currently using 574040 k of disk. This new
quota system allows us to track quotas granted to projects. Follow the
instructions below to request a quota increase for your project to stop
future mailings like this one from being sent to your project. The
following command can be run at any time on the project shell server to
check your project's disk usage:
du -skx /home/groups/i/in/inkscape/
Please take action to reduce your project's disk usage as soon as
reasonably possible, but no later than 2006-07-03. For your quick reference, you
may access your user home directory using any SSH client:
Host: shell.sourceforge.net

https://www.sf.net/docs/E07
If you wish to request an increased quota for your project, or have further
questions or concerns regarding this matter, submit a Support Request to
the Alexandria project on SourceForge.net. However, please review your
project's current disk usage, and prune out unneeded data now, before
requesting the increased quota.

Filters UI
by Hugo Rodrigues
It's probably early to start working on it, but where should the filters UI
be placed?
I suppose the most obvious choice would be having a new "Filter" entry on
the "Object" menu, and on context menu. Another option would be to modify
the "Fill and Stroke" dialog to incorporate a new filter tab, but I think
this would be a bit out of context.
Another issue is the layout within this filter UI, which can become very
complex if not handled correctly... Any ideas?
Not urgent questions, but it would help to hear the community's opinion on
this.

Inkscape Announces 0.44 Release :: http://www.inkscape.org
by Jon Phillips
Inkscape Announces 0.44 Release :: http://www.inkscape.org
The Inkscape community today officially released the latest version of
its vector graphic drawing software. Inkscape 0.44 adds many new
features, is faster and more usable, better supports SVG, is translated
into more languages (17 on last count), and adds a lot of polish and
refinement.
Major new features include Layers dialog, support for clipping and
masking, improved PDF export with transparency, configurable keyboard
shortcuts, innovative "node sculpting" capability in Node tool, and the
Outline mode. Significant gains are achieved in performance, especially
in screen rendering and Node tool.
Noticeable user interface changes include docked color swatches,
interactive style indicator in the statusbar, a redesigned preferences
dialog, a text toolbar, and new icons. Our SVG compliance has also taken
a step forward, with the added support for the <switch> tag and ICC
color profiles for images. This release also includes hundreds of
smaller features, usability enhancements and bug fixes.
For several releases, a collection of extension effects was shipped with
Inkscape, but the Effects menu to access them was turned off by
default. With this release, it has become mature enough, with effects
working out of the box on all platforms, so this menu is enabled.
The Inkscape developer community would like to thank Google for their
sponsorship of five students to work, during the summer of 2006, on
several Inkscape development efforts: SVG Filters, Inkboard protocol,
PDF export with Cairo, and memory optimization.
Download Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X packages:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438

About Inkscape
Inkscape is an open source drawing tool that uses the World Wide Web
Consortium's ([[W3C]]) scalable vector graphics format (SVG). Some
supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers,
clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In
addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons' metadata, node-editing,
layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, text-in-shape, and SVG
XML editing. It can also import EPS, PostScript, and
most bitmap formats, and exports PNG, PS, PDF and various vector
formats.
Inkscape's main motivation is to provide the Open Source community with
a fully [[W3C]] compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool. Additional
work includes conversion of the codebase from C/Gtk to
C++/Gtkmm, emphasizing a lightweight core with powerful
features added through an extension mechanism, and maintaining a
friendly, open, community-oriented development process.
