In https://www.w3.org/TR/svg-strokes/#issue5 described an issue: > How does this apply to open path segments? How are end caps handled? Adobe Illustrator applies stroke alignment property only for closed paths, if path becomes open - Illustrator immediately removes this property and applying center alignment. Can we standardize same behavior in Inkscape for solve this issue? -- Best regards, Alexey Murz Korepov. Email, Jabber: murznn@...400...

Inkscape Hackfest Summary - How do I make a new article on the Inkscape website?
by C R 20 Sep '18

Never done this before... Is there a way to publish markdown and pictures to a news story on the website? I can then link to it in a G+ press release. Thanks. :) -C

One of the moderators on our Inkscape G+ feed is blocking comments and slinging insults
by C R 20 Sep '18

imho, they should not be in charge of moderating the Inkscape's g+ feed. The name of this moderator is Grady Broyles. They have: 1. Falsely asserted that pngs are lossy. (not good for the project) 2. Falsely asserted that pngs are locked at 96dpi (just plain wrong, esp for those wanting to print their pngs) 3. Abused their moderator status by blocking arguments proving his statements incorrect. 4. Engaged in personal attacks. imho, this person is not fit to moderate the Inkscape G+ feed. Thanks for your attention to this matter. :) Here is a screenshot of the above: https://imgur.com/a/2ToD1VT This was in response to my comment (which did not fit in the screencapture): +Grady Broyles <https://plus.google.com/117132892207917418648> I've been exporting pngs from Inkscape at 600dpi A4 for the last 7 years... what on earth makes you think it is locked at 96 dpi? -C

Thanks, Josh!

Regressions Tracker
by unknown＠example.com 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Dear developers, One of the discussions we had in Kiel was the potential to host a tracker to document some of the regressions that we have on GitLab. While we're keeping the inkscape issues tracker closed for now, I've created a project to hold the regressions for 1.0. These are mostly for programmers to document errors and talk between ourselves about possible solutions, rather than end user issues. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/regressions I don't think this'll interfere with anything, but let me know if it opens too many problems and I'll close it down. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Rocket.Chat / chat.inkscape.org
by Bryce Harrington 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Hi all, The Vectors team, after experimenting with a number of different online discussion tools, has selected Rocket.Chat as the best option for their team's discussions. Thanks to hard work by new Inkscaper Manuel Recena, this is up and running in Inkscape's official hosting, and is just about ready for use. While this is specifically set up at the request of the Vectors team, other teams are welcome to use it too if they wish. The #inkscape and #inkscape-devel freenode IRC channels will continue to be our primary discussion channels, no changes are planned for that. There are a few decisions that still need to be made on how Rocket.Chat is configured and used. We figured these questions deserve broader discussion, so are bringing them here. Ryan, could you reply on this thread with what decisions need to be made? Bryce

Cusp corner cap even with rounded corners active (stroke)
by Maren Hachmann 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

Jabier asked me to share this file via mailing list. The shape in it has a stroke with round caps. Only one corner looks as if it has another type of cap. The cap type depends upon the size of the path. When you make it larger, it starts to look as expected. In Firefox it looks as expected at any size. (Hackfest bug reported by Robert who is visiting us and uses Inkscape for teaching students about building technology) Maren

License header cleanup: Need feedback

Inkscape source license clarification
by Maximilian Gaukler 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Dear Dmitry, ./src/main-cmdlinexact.cpp and ./src/main-cmdlinexact.h are licensed as GPL-v2.x-only. This is a problem because inkscape has implicitly switched to GPLv3 by including widget code from GIMP. Is it okay to relicense your code to "GPLv2 or any later version"? Otherwise I fear that someone would have to rewrite or remove it. Greetings from the Kiel Hackfest, Max
