Expected ';' before 'char' https://pastebin.com/hq4yCG5Z 'makefile' https://pastebin.com/GpMNQvHZ It has me stumped but I hope it's obvious to someone else.

re-visiting old thread (make selection easiser)
by brynn 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi Friends, I had started a thread a little over a year ago now. The question was, would it be possible for the mouse pointer (holding or dragging nothing, just by itself) to snap to something like nodes. Because selecting a number of individual nodes, in a situation where dragging a selection box wouldn't work, I was thinking if the mouse pointer (Node tool) could snap to nodes, it would make it much faster to select them individually. https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/35137850 So there was a long discussion, and some people actually came up with some functionality using a key combination (I think Shift + something, iirc). So when the mouse pointer was within some distance of a node, pressing the key combination selected that node. But the whole thing kind of died when it turned out the only available key was on the right side of the keyboard, which would be awkward for me (probably most right-handers). But I see in the draft for the release announcement, for 0.92.2, that some more keys have been freed up for user-defined shortcuts, which were not available before. So it got me thinking, and I wonder what those keys are, and whether it would bring this idea back to life. Thanks for comments :-) All best, brynn

Hello All, In June we had an excellent meeting with a number of you who were interested in helping spread the love about Inkscape (meeting notes <https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/r.93b6af2384cc1de450dd70166ad5cd50>). During that meeting the team decided upon a new name, the Inkscape Vectors, and to have our next meetup on Mattermost, a free alternative to Slack. If you missed the meeting, but are still interested, *come join us on Mattermost* <https://teams.freecreatives.org/login?redirect_to=%2Finkscape>*.***Our next meeting time/date will be discussed there. The group has a broad mission and is open to individuals of diverse talents. So if you're a writer, marketer, designer, developer, artist, student, researcher, or just passionate enough about Inkscape to do /something/, we invite you to join now! -- Ryan Gorley @ Dijt <https://dijt.co>

0.92.2 Release Meeting
by Bryce Harrington 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

== Release Meeting == Following the board meeting, 1pm Pacific time Friday, will be an opportunity to review status ahead of the release this weekend. This meeting will be held on #inkscape-devel. Everyone's welcome to attend, but particularly people who have been testing or developing the release candidate to gather feedback on any remaining issues. I'd also love to see members of the new Vectors team to discuss announcement plans. Agenda: * QA status / issues * Translation team status * Vector team status * Web team status * Release team status * Final Go/No-go on release * Other business There was also a question recently about policies for versions of dependencies (i.e. what do we target for LTS). Time permitting we could discuss this a bit as well. Thanks, Bryce
