by Josh Andler
Greetings!
The Inkscape community is proud to announce the stable bug-fix release of
Inkscape version 0.48.5. This is the fifth bug fix release for 0.48 and it
contains over 60 bug fixes to improve stability and functionality on all
platforms (over 190 for OS X since our last available package). Check out
the release notes [1] for a summary of some of the fixes and improvements,
the milestone page [2] for the full list of closed bug reports, or just
jump right to downloading [3] your package for Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.
We will be focusing our efforts on 0.91 and are not currently planning any
further bug-fix releases in the 0.48 series at this time. Stay tuned for
more news!
Cheers,
Josh

Compiling 0.91 branch for RHEL 6
by Shamit Verma
Hi All,
I am trying to build Inkscape for an environment where only RedHat 6
distribution of Linux is available.
Has anyone tried to build .91 codebase on this distribution? What would be
the dependencies that I would need to build this codebase ?
Regards,
Shamit

0.48.5 packages needed
by Krzysztof Kosiński
The Windows installer is up at sourceforge.net, and the tarballs are
at Launchpad. We still need the portable version and the Mac bundle
before we can announce the new release. Anyone up for it?

Re: [Inkscape-devel] 0.48.5 packages needed
by Jared Meidal
Josh, I tested the OS X package on two Mavericks systems yesterday and they seemed to work great. I tried it on a Snow Leopard system today with a good install. Thanks! Initially the load time for the newly installed version seems to take 2-3 minutes, but subsequent loads are under a minute. --Jared

trunk vs. experimental: Snapping with alt-drag
by Johan Engelen
Hi Diederik, all,
There is a discrepancy between experimental and trunk with regards to
snapping when alt-dragging.
When the grid is enabled, alt-dragging should move the selection in
grid-spacing steps. But when the movement is less than one grid-spacing,
there is no snapping.
Diederik, can you look into this?
Thanks,
Johan

Here is the Windows portable version:

I think we need to get this signed by a PortableApps person, but there's
the base installer.

New swatches dialog and questions
by Tomasz Boczkowski
Hi!
I'd like to post a video of a new swatches dialog[1]. It displays color
swatches and patterns as preview tiles divided into palettes. The palettes
are read from .gpl and .svg files in stock directories. One category
"Current document" is special, as it shows paint servers from currently
opened document.
The dialog allows applying swatches to fill and stroke. It is also possible
to create new swatches based on current object solid fill or stroke. New
pattern can be created by invoking "object to pattern" command from add
menu.
How do you like it?
I still have some issues to be implemented and I'd like to ask you some
questions about it.
1) I would like to implement modifying existing patterns. My original idea
was to create new dialog "swatch properties". Now I think using existing
"object attributes" and "object properties" dialogs would be simpler and
more versatile. After clicking a modify button a popup will appear [2].
Each option would show appropriate dialog.
The content of the property dialogs is based on current selection, and
there is no option to display the properties of arbitrary objects. I have
two possibilites:
* set selection to swatch element (having solidColor, gradient or pattern
tag). Selection API allows it, but only visible objects are selected in
inkscape so far.
* modify the property dialogs to enable editing arbitrary objects by adding
a setObject(SPObject *) method.
Which of the options is favourable?
2) The dialog should enable removing swatches. I think placing, rather
long, implementation of this feature in swatches dialog class might not be
the best solution. Where else can I place the code?
3) Old swatches dialog supplies an "auto" palette. It consists of swatch
objects from current document that have "obs:swatch" attribute defined. The
new one displays all swatches from current document. Should I keep the the
palette?
Regards,
Tomasz
