Inkscape 0.47 Downloads Page - Translations needed
by Joshua A. Andler 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hey Translators, I have updated the downloads page for 0.47 located at: /inkscape_web/trunk/download/download-en.inc It appears that we have had cs, de, es, fr, it, ja, and ru translations in the past just so people are aware. Also, my grep skills seem to be failing me as I can't find the file which contains the version information "$actual_version". So, if anyone knows where this is located or has better luck finding it, if you could bump it to 0.47 that would be appreciated. (I will continue looking though) Cheers, Josh

scroll horizontally by mouse wheel
by Wolf Drechsel 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hello everybody, on my box (Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, PPC), the scrolling horizontally with "shift-mouse wheel" doesnt work - neither in X11 nor in aqua, neither 0.46 not 0.47. I found a gtk-bug on that: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/3644 but nothing in the inkscape bug tracker. Could it be a configuration issue? - I the box "mouse wheel zooms instead of scrolling" in "scrolling" is unchecked. Greetings, Wolf

0.47 - Mac OS X aqua
by Wolf Drechsel 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hi everybody, I tried the Mac OS X aqua adventure again and am running into strange occurancies: (Mac OS X 10.4.11, PPC) ./autogen results in >> I am testing that you have the required versions of autoconf, >> automake, glib-gettextize and intltoolize. This test is not >> foolproof and >> if anything goes wrong, there may be guidance in the file HACKING.txt >> >> checking for autoconf >= 2.52 ... yes (version 2.59) >> checking for automake >= 1.10 ... Too old (found version 1.6.3)! >> checking for glib-gettextize >= 2.0.0 ... >> You must have glib-gettextize installed to compile Inkscape. >> glib-gettextize is part of glib-2.0, so you should already >> have it. Make sure it is in your PATH. >> checking for intltool >= 0.17 ... >> You must have intltool installed to compile Inkscape. >> Get the latest version from >> ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/intltool/ Intltool should be new enough: >> port installed intltool >> The following ports are currently installed: >> intltool @0.40.6_0 (active) … so should be automake: >> bub$ port installed automake >> The following ports are currently installed: >> automake @1.11_0 (active) Hints appreciated… Greetings, Wolf

Trunk is NOT open, please stop committing!
by Joshua A. Andler 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Sorry to yell... but seriously people, everyone needs to be patient. We are switching to a dvcs as mentioned numerous times. If we need to disable offending committers on SF SVN to get people to adhere to this, so be it, but I would rather avoid that. As mentioned a few times now, a notice will be sent to the devel list when trunk re-opens for development. No such notice has been sent. Please make no further changes until a notice is sent out. Again, we are sorry about the delay in this transition to bazaar but there is a desire to do a few things in a more friendly way if at all possible. Ted, will these commits affect anything negatively? (I can't imagine so, but I figured I would ask) Cheers, Josh

Can't edit the wiki - content gets erased when saving
by Lucas Vieites 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi, I trying to create this wiki page: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047-es with the copied content from http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047 but when I save the content keeps getting erased and appears completely blank. This only happens when I copy the complete text of the original release notes, not when I copy small parts of it. I seems to break at a certain number of characters. Is this a known behaviour? (I'm using Firefox 3.0.13 on Suse Linux) If this persists, what can I do? Should I breakthe Release notes in two pages? Thanks, -- Lucas Vieites Blog: http://blog.codexion.com/

Packages and Future releases
by Joshua A. Andler 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

Hey All, I think we should have a strategy for future releases where all packages are uploaded at once (perhaps a private staging area where packagers upload to first). We have had a bunch of release "announcements" and links to the packages on SF showing up on Twitter. It would be nice to control this better in the future. Cheers, Josh

The status of that is on that wiki page. I've signed up for a handful of places, can't say I've seen others...

So, PR crew, do we have things lined up to get the word out, places we need to post, articles we can write, interviews we can go on, etc. :-)
