Snap for Inkscape
by Ted Gould 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Howdy, So I (with some help from others) was trying to make a Snap for Inkscape. My goal was to make it so that, when we have it, we can get the 0.92 release to Ubuntu users on 16.04 LTS. Snaps do work for other Linux distros, but it is preinstalled on Ubuntu. The snap that I built is available here: https://code.launchpad.net/~ted/+snap/inkscape I have it built for i386 and amd64 right now for testing, but we can enable other architectures (armhf? arm64?) when we start getting to a real build. The snap is unoptimized and needs further testing, but I'd love it if other people could install it and send me their results. One major thing missing is the Python libs for the extensions. That's next on my TODO. For information on installing snapd on a variety of Linux distros you can get info here: http://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install Eventually I'd like to get a per-commit build going for the GTK3 release on the edge channel, but trying to get the stable release version working first. Thanks for feedback, Ted ##SELECTION_END##

CMake migration in trunk
by Alex Valavanis 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Dear All, I have completed the migration of Inkscape trunk to use CMake as its build system. This is already the preferred option for the 0.92.x release, and the PPA build has been using CMake successfully for the last couple of months. You will still be able to use Autotools or btool builds as a fallback option for the forthcoming stable Inkscape 0.92.x releases (lp:inkscape/0.92.x) but you will need to use CMake for the latest trunk builds (lp:inkscape), and for all future stable releases (0.93 onwards). This is part of a long-running plan to improve our build system, and will be much easier to maintain, and offer much better cross-platform support than our previous solutions. This represents a change in workflow for many developers and maintainers, so please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. We will very gratefully receive any bug reports, or answer any queries about this transition and use them to improve the package. Best wishes, Alex

GSoC progress report
by Adrian Boguszewski 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hi all, I've already finished my GSoC task, which is "P5. Better data structure for selections". In details I've done: - created ObjectSet class to be a base class for Selection - ObjectSet has a multi_index_container from Boost ( http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/libs/multi_index/doc/tutorial/basics.h…) instead many containers like vectors, lists and sets - created appropiate tests for this class in GoogleTest framework - replaced some functions returning vector to return range ( http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/ad… ) - replaced own children list implementation from SPObject with boost intrusive list - added tests for new children list - replaced parameters in some functions (Selection with ObjectSet) - improved spray tool (there is no need to use selection now) Changes are ready and exist on my branch ( https://code.launchpad.net/~adrianboguszewski/inkscape/adrian). They will by merged to trunk in the near future. I'm waiting for c++11 flag :) As I still have about three weeks till GSoC end, I decided to start another project, which is new SAX parser. Best regards, Adrian

Isometric Inkscape logo
by Martin Owens 06 Aug '16

06 Aug '16

I thought this design was really interesting and wanted to share with the rest of the inkscape community: https://inkscape.org/it/~Alex_L/%E2%98%85inkscape-icon-for-kde-breeze-i con-theme It's been made so the icon can be visible on dark themes. I kind of like the look, and if we ever did a special version for CNC/cad this is the logo I'd use :-) Best Regards, Martin Owens

1607698 Crash on 0.92.x on file open
by Jabier Arraiza 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Hi Alex and all. Investigating about the bug blocking the GTK migration on trunk, I find we can easy remove the widget in a temporary way, retaining the bug open to fix it but having a "working 0.92". Ping me if want to comment a line that cause the problem while the rendering bug is fixed. Also resend the Alex question: ¿If this bug is fixed, can we move trunk to GTK3 now? ¿Any objections? Cheers, Jabier.
