OpenMP fix
by Krzysztof Kosiński
I just discovered that OpenMP support (used to parallelize Gaussian
blur) is not functional on Linux and OS X because of a missing
AC_DEFINE. Here is a patch that fixes this problem. Admins: please
apply to 0.48 branch also.

Poppler internal API problem
by Krzysztof Kosiński
We are still using the internal Poppler API to import PDFs. This is
very bad, since the internal Poppler API is not stable, and will keep
breaking. (We already don't build with poppler > 0.12.1)
How about using the public Glib API to render to a Cairo SVG surface
instead? This is how pdf2svg works, and to be honest I had to use that
utility several times to augment Inkscape, because it handles text
much better. What are the advantages to using internal Poppler API
directly?

re ndering arcs - Bug 653315
by Alvin Penner
Hi,
I wonder if anyone could point me to the general location of the code that
is responsible for converting a circular arc to its corresponding cubic
Bezier approximations for the case where the arc has no sodipodi attributes.
I know that the file src\sp-ellipse.cpp does this if sodipodi attributes are
present, but it appears that the non-sodipodi case is handled separately.
This is in reference to LP Bug 653315, which points out some rendering
problems in this case.
tia,
Alvin

How to include examples in an Extension?
by Pieter Barendrecht
Hi all,
I'm currently working on an expansion of the L-System Extension (just
for fun, getting to know XML and Python). I implemented an extra
parameter "Factor", such that the fractal scales with each level. More
info about this at the Inkscape Forums:
http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6411
The thing is, I would like to include some examples in the extension. I
thought of a drop-down menu (an "enum" type), with entries like "Koch
Snowflake" and "Pythagoras Tree".
|<param name="Examples" type="enum" _gui-text="Examples:">
<item value="Koch_Snowflake">Koch Snowflake</item>
<item value="Pythagoras_Tree">Pythagoras Tree</item>
</param>|
When the user clicks on such an entry, appropriate values should be
assigned to the fields (e.g. Axiom="F", Rules="F=F+F+F", Factor="0.5",
etc.).
I wondered whether this is possible using XML, or the Relax NG schema
language?
So to be clear, the GUI-part isn't a problem. The UI looks like this at
the moment: http://www.redpanda.nl/ExamplesInkscape.png
However, the "auto-assign" function needs to be implemented yet.
Thanks,
Pieter

0.48.1 next week
by Alexandre Prokoudine
Hi,
We were planning to release 0.48.1 around October 25.
Are there any issues of satble version somebody is working on or
planning to work on in the coming days?
Do we have Windows and Mac packagers at the ready for that?
Do you know of any reason we should postpone this point release?

Can someone tell me why we have a non-vector format in the save as list?
One that seems redundant and apparently with less functionality than the
normal export. Is this for testing purposes?

It works when selecting the text with one of the shape tools, which was
unexpected to me, but it allows to change the knots of the pattern.

Confirmed: when using a shape tool to scale or rotate a pattern of a
text object tons of patterns definitions with 'patternTransform' are
created.
Does already happen with Inkscape 0.47 (using the node tool) and 0.48
(using one of the shape tools) when transforming a pattern of a text object.

Text import extension does not load in Ubuntu
by Alex Valavanis
Hi everyone,
I'm helping to maintain the Ubuntu package of Inkscape. I mentioned
in bug #479944 that the text import extension does not load in Ubuntu.
I'd be grateful if anyone can offer any extra debugging assistance
with this - I can't see any obvious reason why the extension does not
load. As I mentioned in comment #7, extension-errors.log doesn't
report any problems.
Thanks,
Alex

NEW: mouseover cursors in Selector
by bulia byak
Selector tool has a new mouse cursor (arrow with an open hand) for
when your mouse is over a selectable object, and another (arrow with
clinched hand) for when you're dragging an object. This improves
precision of selection and UI consistency (previously, the mouse
cursor over a selectable object was different across platforms, e.g.
hand icon on Linux or four-way arrow on Windows).
