I may have missed them, though I don't see those links. Regarding your question, personally, I'd add those possible solutions to your reports, though I'm not part of the Inkscape team, so let's wait what Josh says.

Hi Liam, I think you meant to send this to the list, let me know if I'm being naughty by publishing your response back to the list.

These are checked by the server, compare the windows download to the source package: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/3860/ There are four levels: no signature, an md5 hash, a gpg signature against your own public key and a gpg signature and you being in the "packagers" team. Thanks for testing everyone. Martin,

Meassure improvements, Speed and Phantom mode
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

Hi to all. A just commit a new feature in meassure tool, allowing compare two measures, creating greyed version of current meassure in a temporary way. Based in a comment on original code I could improve the response of the tool. Also want to make numeric inputs for start and end point, thinking add it as a modifier for the knots instead puting them on the toolbar. Here a video: http://jabiertxof.marker.es/2016/02/meassure-tool-phantom -and-speed.html Cheers, Jabier.

Impressions on Inkscape after extended usage
by Michael Grosberg 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Hello, In the past several months - closer to a year, actually - I've used Inkscape in a tight production environment almost daily. I have produced hundreds of illustrations for a computer-based technical course. During that period I used Inkscape 0.48.5 and lately switched to test builds and release candidates of 0.91. All of this time I have kept a list of the problems I ran into using Inkscape. Some are plain bugs, some are more complex problems for which I have no idea for a solution. After testing the new version to see whether some of these problems have gone away, I thought I might share this document with you. Before I go on, I just like to say that these are mostly minor points. I am an avid user and promoter of Inkscape even though my workplace has provided me with a legal copy of Adobe Illustrator, which I think is inferior in ease of use. I think Inkscape on the whole is a brilliant piece of software and I'm thankful for all your efforts. But some problem just kept popping up again and again. So without further ado, here's the document (it's a google doc): http://bit.ly/1yLzn0y Thank you for any comment or feedback you might have. - Michael Grosberg

Infected Windows Installer Reported
by Martin Owens 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Dear developers, The file Inkscape-0.91-1.exe has been reported by Andrey Krylov to contain Win.Trojan.Ramnit-8177 This concerns this resource file: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/3944/ If someone using windows (and theadib) can check the file using anti-malware scanner so we can make sure it's clean. Thanks guys, Martin Owens Website Admin

Website Update: OK
by Martin Owens 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Dear developers, The website is pretty much back to speed. Some help from OSUOSL was vital in understanding so a big thanks to them. What went wrong was a couple of points. The first was the mo file issue where django was trying to open files from the disk hundreds of times per request (and failing). Provisioning it with the files stopped that. Then there was the caching. I installed memcached on the server and enabled it's use. This cut down on the amount of memory because wsgi processes are able to share the same cache and reduced mysql load because we didn't have to cache things there any more. I put the number of parallel requests back up to 4, since 2 doesn't really help with all requests and created some backlog. Please continue to test. You will notice gallery pages, user pages are slower than cms pages and this is mostly because those apps don't use cache (something to look into for the next version). Sorry for the disruption. Martin,

Win32 devlibs update and Windows XP support
by Nicolas Dufour 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Hi all, Work on a new win32 devlibs branch is currently in progress (see https://code.launchpad.net/~jazzynico/inkscape-devlibs/trunk). It's goal is to replace our old devlibs with the most recent ones, compiled with TDM-GCC-5.1. It's almost done, but there are some issues that will affect our win32 devlibs in a near future: * Harfbuzz can't compile on Windows XP (but runs fine). Vista or 7 can be used instead (I'm going to test with a virtualboxed 7). Of course, Harfbuzz is required by lots of other libs (pango, rsvg, imagemagick, gtk...). * Glib doesn't compile on Windows XP and 7, due to recent changes in Glib-2.43. So we're stuck with 2.42.2. Side effect, we can't compile the latest glibmm and atkmm libs (and maybe others, I haven't try Gtk and Gtkmm yet...). I don't know if it's directly related, but there's an old thread in the gnome mailing list that question Windows XP support (see https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2014-December/msg00055.html). Note that Gnome no longer provides binaries for XP on their download page (http://www.gtk.org/download/windows.php). So be aware that maintaining Windows XP (and even win32) versions is going to be harder and harder... I'm going work on the branch until it's done (or blocked), but I'm seriously considering switching to my old cross-compiled branch, which was far easier to maintain. Regards, -- Nicolas

Nightly builds, download points???
by mathog 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hi all, Is there a nightly (or even weekly) build for Windows 32 and 64, and if so, is there a download link for it? In bug 1480651 we have an end user who has a problem with the way a particular piece of software that neither Alvin nor I own interacts with Inkscape, and it would help if we could get him a copy of a current trunk binary.
