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 For many more details, see the complete Release Notes for 0.44: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_Notes Community submitted screenshots: http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/ 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.

pdf export
by Alexandre Prokoudine 25 Jun '06

Hi, Should we explicitly mention that Inkscape's native export to PDF means export to PDF 1.4? Is it a known bug or a misfeature :) that text is not saved in PDF (beta3 for windows)? Alexandre

Report on a review article of vector programs (including Inkscape 0.43)
by Colin Marquardt 25 Jun '06

25 Jun '06

Hi, I finally wrote the report I wanted to write since weeks... :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Report_on_c%27t_article_12/2006 This is a report on a review article of vector programs (including Inkscape 0.43) in the German c't magazine, issue 12/2006, subtitled "Inexpensive vector drawing programs for amateurs" The article can be bought at http://www.heise.de/kiosk/archiv/ct/06/12/168/ The price limit for programs in the test was 100 EUR. Besides Inkscape 0.43, the following programs were reviewed: Tribar Inform 1.0 (http://www.tribarsw.net), Zoner Zoner Draw 5 (http://zoner.com), Serif DrawPlus 8 (http://www.serif.com), Purgatory Intaglio 2.7 (http://www.purgatorydesign.com), Xara Xtreme 2.0f (http://www.xara.com), Microsoft Expression Grafic Designer CTP (formerly Acrylic) (http://www.microsoft.com) They say Expression is likely to cost more than 100 EUR once it's out of its preview phase, so it would not belong in that test anymore. In short, Inkscape got the following rating (from --, -, ., +, ++): Import and Export: - Exact Drawing/Freehand: ++/- Text design/Prepress: ./-- Efficient work/Documentation: +/-- Winners were DrawPlus and Xara, with Expression and Intaglio still better than Inkscape, the rest got lower ratings than Inkscape. The article text itself is IMO more friendly toward Inkscape than the rating says. The text lists some highlights (both positive and negative) of each program, and for Inkscape, they were: * is a bit sluggish * has dynamic connectors * one cannot find help for a specific tool * uses SVG internally and thus is restricted to SVG features; so gradients are limited to linear or radial ones * potrace is far ahead in the quality of its tracing * no justified text * no artistic strokes apart from calligraphy, but it uses the angle information from a tablet, and also supports thickness by mouse speed * writes EPS but doesn't read it in again - this hinders easy exchange of drawings with other programs * bitmap export is limited to PNG * SVG files are included only as a link, if one wants to send a drawing to someone else, one has to take care to manually include all necessary files * documentation is SVG where one can directly use the tools, but one doesn't have links nor an index * documentation cannot really be searched - search is limited to the current document and doesn't jump from hit to hit, but just highlights them all, and the user has to comb though these * an extensive guide is being built at http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.html * normally is stable, but slower than the other programs * is under heavy development, but documentation makes it hard for newbies * usable for productive work I'm now picking some of the good points of the other programs that they deemed worthy of mentioning: * features for web designers (slicing, connect with links, rollover buttons) * animation features and export to animated GIFs * CAD capabilities for technical drawings (dynamic dimension lines) * no program supports connected text boxes * movies for documentation * natural brushes * bitmaps can be distorted * user-defined styles * centrally defined colors that can be changed later (derived colors also change) * device profiles, Pantone, process colors, overprinting when doing color separation, color control bars, crop marks * cliparts, symbols, schematic symbols, fonts * vector and bitmap layer, when changing layer type, tools also change * distortion grid * node sculpting * pressure profile of a tablet stroke can be adjusted retroactively * randomization of strokes in width, hue, transparency * hyphenation, spell checking, indentation, tabulators, multi-page documents * when drawing a path, nodes (or even the node control points) can be moved without finishing the line first * dynamic guides * measurement tool with selectable unit * shadows get more fuzzy with increasing distance from an object * user-defined line ends * copies of an object can be aligned along a path (Please keep in mind that I'm translating this from German, if something is unclear, just ask: colin (at) marquardt-home (dot) de)

Compiling on RHEL 4 (GTK+ 2.4), patches
by Yue Shi Lai 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

Hi, I noticed various issues when compiling on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4: 1. Various source files use system functions printf(), sscanf(), mkdir() but did not include the appropriate header files and are therefore GCC fails complaining about the missing prototypes. One might want to add "#include <cstdio>" when using the first two functions, and refer "man 2 mkdir" for the requirements of mkdir. 2. While configure specifies "gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0", there are a few changes that made Inkscape in fact requiring at least GTK+ 2.6, while the changes themselves would be easy to adapt to GTK+ 2.4. 3. One might argue whether this is Inkscape's fault, but similarly, Inkscape did not catch the annoyance of glib 2.4 headers contain macros that are colliding with libintl.h, in a graceful fashion. This can be solved to include libintl.h each time before glibmm/i18n.h (and extern "C" is needed because "#ifdef __cplusplus" is missing in libintl.h from older glibc headers). I also made a (not really useful) patch that at least make --with-perl link properly.

Stroke width rendering bug when switching between normal and outline display mode
by Jasper van de Gronde 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

I just downloaded 0.44 from SF (Inkscape-0.44-1.win32.exe) and found that when I switch from normal to outline (or vice versa) the stroke width is maintained (even though the color does change). Zooming in or out fixes it. Does anyone else have this problem or am I overlooking something? (it seems so obvious a bug that I thought I'd check before filing a bug report) Steps to reproduce: - Set display mode to normal. - Create a line with a stroke width that's visibly larger than one. - Now switch to outline mode. On my system the line retains its original width on screen, zooming in or out changes it to a hair line (as I'd expect in outline mode). To see the reverse, after having zoomed in or out, switch back to normal mode. Now the line remains a hair line, zooming in or out makes it look like it should again.

Hi, I didn't found a webmaster adress so I post it here : On that page : http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/ The link dead for example : http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.44-outlineview.png and : http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.44-clipandmask.png Instead of seeing the file, we get 16x16 dead png... That whould be great to fix it...

Char * file names
by Bob Jamison 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

Hi, all, After digging around the code looking for a particular bug, I was struck by the fact that although Inkscape went through the "c++ification" process almost 2 years ago, a great many of the classes are still merely wrappers of the legacy code. One thing I noticed in particular was that char *'s are still used in most of the code for the storage of file names and xml string data. Wouldn't this cycle be a good time to convert these to Glib::ustring? We would get at least three benefits: 1) A uniform container and set of methods for Unicode data 2) Greater pointer safety if we can avoid countless explicit alloc/frees. 3) It would be harder to go out of bounds, since the string carries its size. And if you do, it is an exception, not a malloc or stack corruption. I'm not talking about the GC'd stuff, but those so frequent snips of code like this: if (uri) g_free(uri); uri = g_strdup(newuri); In addition, shouldn't a document's "DocumentBase" uri (and resources it references) be a real W3C URI, or even an IRI? That way we can get a consistent method for referring to things, rather than always calculating paths explicitly all over the code tree. Just a suggestion! :) bob
