Hi, >From what Leslie wrote in the mentors list it's quite obvious that this year all organizations willing to participate should make an early start to get best proposals, because amount of projects is somewhat cut (no details given at this point) in comparison to last year. Since a number of principal developers had agreed that we indeed should take part at GSoC2009, I've just dared to publish news to encourage potential students looking at list of projects and blueprints and thinking about participating. If you find it necessary to edit the news text, please do so :) Alexandre

Hi, some download links on inkscape.org/download/ are defective (i.e. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/Inkscape-0.46.win32.exe instead of http://downloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/inkscape-0.46.win32.exe). Same goes for the win 7zip download. Didn't check the others. HTH Daniel

JavaFX 1.0 exporter update
by Sergey Esenov 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hi all, I am very interested as well in getting JavaFX 1.0 support ready for Inkscape. I 've spent last holiday time to play with previous version and made some developments for javafx-out.cpp, javafx-out.h. I had no previous experience with inkscape, but I pretend to support the following features... - JavaFX 1.0 syntax - gradients with some limitations (bugs) in radial gradient support - gaussian blur - images - texts I tested everything under openSUSE 11.1 (x86). Of course, I am using netbeans 6.5 with Mac version of JavaFX 1.0 :) I've checked my updates against some known examples I found on the web. The most useful for me were ... http://chrisdesign.wordpress.com/2008/02/14/simple-metal-orb-using-gradient… http://howto.nicubunu.ro/shiny_web_buttons_inkscape/ http://openclipart.org/media/files/axcesar/3660 If somebody is interested, copy updated version found in attachment into ../src/extension/internal and just rebuild inkscape. Hope somebody may look at the code and do further improvements. Cheers, Sergey

My guess is that the problem (if it is just one) was introduced between 28-12 and 04-01, because three of the rendering tests suddenly started crashing during that period. At least one of the tests crashes in Path::AddPoint (the pts.push_back line) in Path.cpp (while being called during Glyph rendering, I can provide more details if needed). I haven't looked closely at the other three, but it is at least suspicious that all three tests have text in them (while pretty much all other tests don't). The "crash on start" bug seems to crash inkscape right AFTER calling (and exiting) the first idle loop. I haven't looked deeper into this, but from what I'm seeing I'm guessing there is some memory corruption/initialization issue. This could also explain the different behaviour on different platforms.

Where to start ...
by Koen Ribus 17 Jan '09

17 Jan '09

Hello *, I'm new here at 'devel' of inkscape - browsing the sources is quite overwhelming. However I succeeded in making a build myself (on windows) and think I fixed my first bug ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/318246 :-) A good start I hope ... Just not sure on what to do next ... maybe I need some pointers on how to proceed ... Regards, KoRi. --

Mac Build
by step21 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hey, my newest build is now available here: http://rapidshare.com/files/184307760/Inkscape.dmg It's bigger than the previous ones cause this time I included all the python stuff. I also ditched the launcher. Because the launcher install script also compiled/installed the clearlooks theme, the theme is not included for now. But this should be easy to re-add. I'm not really sure if this fixes anything, but I'd like everyone who can to try it, and maybe post the error logs. Thanks.

Cannot compile on XP
by Preben Soeberg 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Problem compiling version 20513: Make error line 285: problem compiling: src/document.cpp:48:30: error: inkscape-version.h: No such file or directory src/document.cpp: In function 'SPDocument* sp_document_create(Inkscape::XML::Document*, const gchar*, const gchar*, const gchar*, unsigned int)': src/document.cpp:294: error: 'version_string' is not a member of 'Inkscape' As part of my build, I always run "btool.exe touchabout", which deletes inkscape-version.h. (and maybe the new version of build.xml does not handle this?) Preben

prompt interrupting compilation
by Felipe Sanches 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

I am getting a prompt about overwriting inkscape-version.cpp that interrupts the compilation and waits for user interaction. I dont like it. I think that the build should always complete without need of user interaction. Juca

interactivity-related new feature
by Felipe Sanches 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

I have just added event attributes (onclick, onmouseover, etc) to the object properties dialog. it is working nice for Inkscape SVG but not for Plain SVG. how do I preserve these attributes in plain SVG also? Also I am unsure about the usage of onload attribute but I have put it there since it is defined in the spec. JucaBlues commit log: added interactivity attributes to the object properties dialog. If you want to test it, create a new document, draw something, select it, ctrl+shift+O, expand the Interactivity expander and set: onclick to window.location="http://xkcd.com" onmouseover to this.style.cursor="pointer" Save as Inkscape SVG (currently not working for Plain SVG) then open this SVG file in Firefox to see the result.
