February 2009 - Inkscape Devel

New OS X Package
by Milosz Derezynski 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Dear Inkscape team - it's a package. The package was built on 10.5 and is Intel only. The package was built from SVN rev. 20630 and it uses Gtk+/Quartz instead of X11 windowing. There are a few bugs when running Inkscape on Gtk+/Quartz which I'm attempting to fix at the moment, once I have them fixed I will upload an updated package accordingly. I hope that despite the limited usability of the package (Intel-only) it can find some use. The package can be downloaded at: http://futurepast.free.fr/inkscape/ M. -- Please note that according to the German law on data retention, information on every electronic information exchange with me is retained for a period of six months. [Bitte beachten Sie, dass dem Gesetz zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung zufolge jeder elektronische Kontakt mit mir sechs Monate lang gespeichert wird.]

GSoC 2009
by Josh Andler 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hey all, Given that there will be a smaller number of students available via GSoC this year, do we have any volunteers to take care of coordinating our overall participation to ensure we can get the most possible? Primarily we just need someone who would be willing to stay on top of what is going on with GSoC, and to relay information and respond in a timely manner. Aaron, you had handled it last year, is it something you're interested in doing again? Cheers, Josh

I'd rather replace it with a new one. Could the guy who pushed the magic pledgie button last year do it again please? :) Alexandre

Snapping toolbar
by Diederik van Lierop 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

New as of revision #20491: the much requested and long overdue toolbar with snapping controls! Please test it and report any bugs. Question to you all: do you think we can remove the "snap" tabs in the document properties dialog, except for the snapping distance sliders? If you don't need it, just turn it off and it won't bother you again. If you don't like it, then please draw me some new icons. Please forgive, these are the first icons I've ever drawn :-). Obviously, there are no Tango icons yet either. On Linux, please don't forget to do a "make install" to install the new icons.svg file. Diederik

Hi, I've noticed that on this page: http://www.inkscape.org/svn.phpthere's a link that points to: http://svn.sourceforge.net/inkscape This is not correct, it should be: http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/ Cheers, -- Lucas Vieites

Re: [Inkscape-devel] LPE cleanup
by unknown＠example.com 02 Feb '09

Hi all, I just moved almost all 0.47 LPEs to the "experimental" section in the code. This means that they will not show up in the normal 0.47 builds. We need to make sure they work and don't crash, that there is a testfile in the testsuite and that they are useable too. If you want to build Inkscape with experimental LPEs, make sure "LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS" is defined. You can do that by editing config.h (in build.xml for windows, on linux I have no clue), or by editing /src/live_effects/effect.cpp at the start somewhere put: "#define LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS" Cheers, Johan > -----Original Message----- > From: Engelen, J.B.C.
