The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

"Getting Started with Development" instructions
by Maximilian Gaukler 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Hi everyone, I am about to update the "getting started" instructions for new developers: https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/ If you have any further suggestions, feel free to answer. I'd like to consolidate all changes into one big edit because every change needs to be translated. Here's my list of changes: - git SSH -> change to HTTPS (as discussed a few months ago) - "Install build dependencies": replace old "apt-get" instructions with the new script from inkscape-ci-docker. Download and run the script to install all requirements: wget -v https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/raw/master/install_dependenc… -O install_dependencies.sh bash install_dependencies.sh --recommended - "/usr in the example" -> "in the example, it is installed in inst/ inside the source folder" - "Versions <= 0.92" -> remove from tutorial, move to Wiki remove mentioning of autotools, as CMake is now the default - do not mark optional arguments with "[ ]" so that copy-paste into the shell works. Also, omitting some of these arguments (e.g. ccache) will horribly slow down compilation, so they aren't truly optional. Instead, just add a note that these arguments may be omitted. - after changes are published: remove redundant info from the Wiki page https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=CompilingUbuntu Have a nice weekend, Max

A Big thank you from a long time inkscape user
by Victor Westmann 30 Dec '19

30 Dec '19

Hi Everyone, I would like to thank everyone for the hard work you all had during the past 10 years or so. I am an inkscape user since 2007 and I couldn't be more satisfied. This project came such a long way both in the application and in the team structure. I remember we were using mailing lists in source forge. And when our website was not using Django. What makes me the happier is to see that the application now have layers, floating panels, dark theme (spoiler for 1.0 version!), more features, more languages, and it runs on Mac without X11! I got really surprised when I realized that a lot of the feature requests were accepted and even implemented in the project. So thank you very much for caring. And for reaching out. I still feel I don't have a lot of knowledge on the program (yes, this is how I feel) and my time is limited, just like anybody else, but I will do my best to commit to help onboard more users whenever possible. Thank you so much for everyone involved in this project. Inkscape makes the world a better place for everyone. Thanks, Victor

Possible bug in Inkscape 0.92 Export Plot extension
by G Jenkins 24 Dec '19

24 Dec '19

Hi folks I'm emailing the developer list to see if I need to submit a bug report for an issue I haven't been able to resolve through the User Forum. I am using Inkscape 0.92 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 to cut vinyl using a Liyu SC631 cutter, connected using a USB port. Before I updated to Ubuntu 18.04.3 I used Inkcut without any problems. I understand that Inkcut is now deprecated so I have been trying to use the Export/Plot extension instead. The issue is that when I do this the cutter cuts an extra, unwanted, line direct from the last point of the drawing back to the origin, spoiling the item being cut. The problem does not occur when I use Inkcut. Is this a case of "operator error", in which case what am I doing wrong, or is it a bug which I need to report? Any replies gratefully received. Gareth

Inkscape shape to path algorithm development
by Bryce Harrington 24 Dec '19

24 Dec '19

Happy Holidays everyone! I had lunch with one of the Fontforge developers the other day, Skef Iterum. He's been working on improvements to their glyph outline stroking support, including some algorithmic work that he thinks would be relevant to Inkscape as well. Once Inkscape 1.0 is done and the codebase is open for feature work, he may be interested in seeing if the same algorithmic work could be applied to Inkscape's codebase. He's not conversant in Inkscape's C++ coding conventions (fontforge is C) but has been going through 2geom and livarot and sees some areas for improvement. Marc, I suggested you'd be a great guy for Skef to bounce ideas and plans around with, and offered to introduce you to him. Would you be around to chat with him on IRC some time? Bryce

Read the docs Manual administrative backup
by Maren Hachmann 15 Dec '19

15 Dec '19

Hi everyone, can you help by volunteering as an administrative backup for the beginners' guide at https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io ? (as there's no official project email address, I'm not sure how else to make sure that someone else has access there, too) What I'd need from you is your readthedocs.org user name. Currently, that position comes without any additional work, as I'm able to take care of what needs to be done. It is only a backup thing, as there's currently a bus factor of 1. I'd like to have at least two other persons in the project registered with it. Thank you! Maren
