Changed a string
by Joshua A. Andler 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hello Translators, I am so sorry to have to tell you that I had to change a string during String Freeze as it was not clear enough in English. Again, it relates to the Save page in preferences. Given that this happened we will give you all a few extra days for translations. It would be great if the translations could be completed by next Wednesday. Cheers, Josh

Hi, attached is a fix for bug 402274. It's trivial and I cannot imagine it causing any problems but I'd be glad if someone could take a quick look anyway in case I overlooked something. Thanks, Max

by Docsonic 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

When I try to build the latest svn (22396) under 32-bit windows, I get an error - Make error line 413: executeCommand : could not create process : the system cannot find the file specified. Make error line 413: <staticlib> problem: When I look at the build.xml file, line 413 says - <staticlib command="${archutil}ar crsv" file="${build}/libinkscape.a"> I was going to change the value of archutil but I am not sure what it should be set to? Currently it is set to - <property name="archutil" value=""/> Any ideas?

Fix for LP 273767; was: Re: [Patch] Fix for LP 402274
by the Adib 04 Oct '09

Joshua, release warden, I do not have "the" solution for https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/273767 But I have a fix in post #6 of this issue that might prevent further crashing by range overflow. The other one has a deeper impact in everything so I can not judge how it behaves on the other end. PLs review the first patch and commit. I agree to concentrate on release critical issues. so please summarise what is still open. And what has to be done. Thanks, Adib. On 10/4/09, Joshua A.

Imported PNG file not displayed.

Hi, In the past few days, importing a PNG file seems to have been broken. The svg:image data seems to be correct but the file is not displayed. Does anybody else see this? Tested with latest SVN on Fedora 9 and 11. Tav

by Tobias Jakobs 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Hi, I build Inkscape from recent SVN and it crashes on startup. I have Ubuntu 9.04 and build Inkscape with: make clean CFLAGS='-g -O0' CXXFLAGS='-g -O0' ./configure --prefix=/home/tobias/dev/bin/ make make install This is the console output if I try to start Inkscape: http://paste.ubuntu.com/284467/ And this is what I get if I start it with gdb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/284470/ And this is the output from valgrind: http://paste.ubuntu.com/284474/ Regards, Tobias

Path reading: implicit lineto
by unknown＠example.com 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Hi all, Attached is a patch to fix reading of rare svg strings. This fixes one of the cxxtests, and also helps for the basic/markers.svg testfile in the testsuite. "M 1,2 ... z L 1,1" is now correctly interpreted as "M 1,2 ... z M 1,2 L 1,1", instead of ignoring the 2nd path. Ciao, Johan

Font dialog mis-match
by Thomas Worthington 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

In SVN 27277 (Gentoo Linux) there is still the problem that some font styles are selectable in the dialog box but do not display in the actual text object. To see this in action, one needs a font like Helvetica Neue installed: 1. Select "Thin" as the style; the sample changes to something that looks pretty much like a thin version of the font. 2. Click on "Apply"; the style changes to "Ultra-light", the sample display changes to this new style, as does the actual on-the-page text object. 3. Re-select "Thin"; the example text changes once more to the thin style. 4. Re-apply; the dialog box ignores this, apparently thinking that this is the style already in use. The sample text remains thin but the text object is not changed. 5. Close dialog. 6. Re-open the dialog (keeping the text object selected); the style is listed as "Ultra-Light" but we appear to be back at the state represented by point 3, not that represented by step 1. That's about all I've got and it is font-dependant in that the styles available differ from font to font, so for Futura the issue shows up for the style Medium (which changes to Bold on application), while Frutiger switches Ultra-heavy to just plain Heavy. The really odd bit is that the font dialog has no obvious problem displaying these styles. TWW
