Inkscape 0.42 tarballs/etc.
by Ted Gould 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hey Everyone, After months of hard work were happy to introduce an editor beyond, its years, its Inkscape 0.42. Like always, this is a limited announcement until binaries for several platforms can be created. Please wait to tell your friends. Have fun, Ted MD5 Sums: 4af587b942647bf9e27861e2238844c8 inkscape-0.42.tar.bz2 e0a299ff70044fd9a424961bd3ad8c13 inkscape-0.42.tar.bz2.sig 653c81be2fc7c80fd9895e908d3a73f1 inkscape-0.42.tar.gz 04c03f3af1e2700ca92f12d314a37444 inkscape-0.42.tar.gz.sig

final 0.42 tgz
by Kees Cook 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

I'm happy with what I've seen so far with pre3. A few small patches were added and several translation updates. Beyond that, I think all of the "issues" have been packaging. Ted, unless anyone objects, I'd say it's time for the official 0.42 tgz. (Just be sure you see the "inkscape_version.h.mingw" update I added to the "MakingDists" wiki) -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

confusion on the mandriva bug
by unknown＠example.com 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, I posted a bug in the bug tracker few hours ago and it seems that there has been confusion with the post of Lucas Vieites. We are not the same person, but we have (almost) the same bug ! And the same system (Mandriva LE 2005)... Personally, my crash is the following : __________________________________________________ /usr/bin/.proxy.inkscape: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/.proxy.inkscape) Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. Segmentation fault ______________________________________________________ Best, luc estebanez

Proposed plan for 0.43 development
by Bryce Harrington 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

Hi all, As the release of 0.42 nears, I haven't been able to help thinking about what we should do for the next release. I'd like to throw some thoughts out for comment. I think we're all ready for a bit faster release cycle. 0.43 really took a bit too long. Partly that's because we wanted a nice long development cycle, but mostly because we had some extremely ambitious goals. This release, though, the goals are more modest (and already mostly done). As well, we have four Google Summer of Code students producing code, and I think it would serve their learning process (and our own ability to review the code and give them feedback) if they can start getting their code drops out to the Inkscape audience. Thus, I'd like to propose that for at least 0.43 and 0.44 that we shoot for something on the order of a month each: 3 weeks development 2 weeks feature freeze - stabilization / bugfix ~1 week hard freeze release repeat As far as specific development goals, I think we should just set the one goal of having some working code from each of the SoC students, (plus whatever else gets done by others). Some of the students may need our assistance in learning how to integrate code, test it, fix bugs, and so forth. (The originally planned goal of the 0.43 release was to work out how to do extensions, which thanks to hard work by Ted, ACSpike, and others, is already fairly well in the bag.) Anyway, let me know your thoughts on the above, and if it sounds acceptable, we can start on this plan of action as soon as the release of 0.42 is complete! :-) Bryce

What distribution are you using? My guess is that you are using Debian Unstable and that this crash is caused by the currently inprogress switchover to gcc 4.0. I suppose after this all settles down we might need packages build with gcc 3.3 and pacakges build with gcc 4.0. Is this a correct assumption? Aaron Spike Aaron Spike

Inkscape release schedule: Sunday?
by Kees Cook 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

How about we release on Sunday if no serious bugs are found? There is going to be no end of trouble on Debian unstable, but that's because the C++ libraries haven't been recompiled yet. However, this is "not our problem". ITEMS - About screen is "too big". If we don't get this solved, it's not a show-stopper, but it'd be nice. - Win98 crash. No immediate progress, small portion of user base, so it's not a show-stopper, but would be nice to fix. - Static .deb. It'd be nice to have something for the Debian unstable folks to test with. Not a show-stopper, I don't think, since it's fine on Ubuntu Hoary and Debian Sarge. -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

Inkscape 0.42 effects dependencies in gentoo
by Bryce Harrington 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Hiya Zephyr, One of the cool new things in 0.42 is that there is now a way for users to turn on the Effects menu. Effects are basically scripts that the user can invoke to do specialized actions to the drawing. Think Gimp's Script-Fu. However, there's a small packaging issue that I've noticed, that needs to be figured out. The scripts depend on some other language modules (Perl scripts need SVG.pm, python scripts need PyXML), and sometimes some other random bits and pieces (e.g. Sketch for file conversion). In general, if you just emerge inkscape, it doesn't pick up those deps, which is probably correct since they're not truly compile-time dependencies. However, on the other hand it's inconveient to have to manually figure out and emerge all the deps. Anyway, I'm wondering if there could be a way set up for the 0.42 package where users could have a way to choose between having just the compile-time deps installed, vs. having both them and the optional deps installed as well?

- The About screen is not there yet. Has anyone contacted http://anarres.deviantart.com/ to get the SVG for #30 from him/her? - My patch for the freeze bug is not committed still. Release wardens, please take note. - Consequently, pre3 is not out yet. - Release notes for Ishmal and Joncruz still not filled out. - No one bothered to respond to my crash report on Win98. Does this mean we'll have to release with that bug? - No one submitted any screenshots for the site. - Reck Beton reports (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604306&aid=1224751&group_…) that we're having a number of regressions with regard to the W3C test suite, compared to earlier 0.42 builds. In particular, he says that styling tests no longer work. Peter, please look into this because that is an important feature touted in the release notes. - Mental has filed another fix-before-release bug: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1240029&group_id=… If JonCruz will not take care of that, patches are welcome. - I _think_ that issue lists such as this one should ideally be compiled by the current release wardens, not me... -- bulia byak Inkscape.

This is CRITICALLY important because after pre1, Bob switched to the new libraries, which are very different (e.g. include gtk-wimp). So we currently have NO prerelease for the users to test these libs (apart from daily builds). It's a pretty drastic upgrade and I insist that we need AT LEAST TWO full prereleases, each with sufficient time allowance, to minimally test it. 2. To illustrate the above point, I just found a crash bug on Windows 98 (Russian) with the latest daily build, Inkscape0507151800.zip. Namely, when I use the Open dialog to go to a directory with a Russian name, opening any file from there crashes it. What's worse, it remebers that initial directory in the prefs, and when I do File>Open next time, it crashes immediately. The program becomes simply unusable until you delete your prefs file. I then tested the same on a WIn2k (Russian) system, there it works fine. However I don't think we can release it with such a bug even if it only affects Win 98 non-English versions. Here's what I get in an error box when it crashes: Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) aborting... Then I get another box with: Runtime Error! Program: C:\INK-LATEST\INKSCAPE.EXE abnormal program termination Then I get yet another box with two messages: Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) aborting... Pango-WARNING (recursed) **: Couldn't load font "MS Sans Serif 7" falling back to "Sans 7" aborting... And then again the "Runtime error" box (so 4 boxes in total before it finally dies). I then tried to get a backtrace but I could not, because when run from gdb (included with the build), it crashes right on startup: C:\ink-latest>gdb.exe inkscape.exe GNU gdb 5.2.1 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions. There is absolutely no warranty for GDB. Type "show warranty" for details. This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-mingw32"...

() #2 0xc95e2824 in ?? () Cannot access memory at address 0x54890187 (gdb) All this worked fine in the builds with previous libraries (without gtk-wimp). 3. And last not least, the "freeze on quit with Transform dialog" but seems to be harder than it seemed at first. Looks like there's not much progress there. And looks like if it's fixed, the fix will involve some pretty deep and dangerous changes, so it will need to be tested for quite some time. 4. Smaller issues: nsis patch not committed yet (waiting for a Windows-savvy tester?), and the new About is not in CVS yet. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Wanted: Windows user to review inkscape.nsi patches
by Peter Moulder 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Release wardens are supposed to act as reviewer for the patches posted to the tracker, but I don't have access to a Windows machine, nor any other reason to learn NSIS. Can we have someone to act as release warden for inkscape.nsi ? Documentation for NSIS files is at http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/ so you don't really need to have any previous NSIS experience to be a better reviewer than I. (I haven't yet asked Kees as to whether he has access to a Windows machine or any familiarity with NSIS.) pjrm.

Hello guys, Bryce and I both presented yesterday which went quite well. We hung out with Carl Worth, Keith Packard and others after our talks and discussed Cairo, etc. More on that later... Anyhow, people here at ddc are asking about the status of the Inkscape release? Where is the release at? Also, is there anyone Bryce and I should talk to about libraries, etc? We can do some mediating... (www.desktopcon.org) Man, it is great to get recognition for Inkscape and Open Clip Art Library.

Scribus Team Releases 1.3.0 - La Liberté
by PLinnell 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

The Scribus Team is pleased to announce a technology preview of the next generation of Scribus - Open Source Desktop Publishing. The aim for this release is to bring improvements and enhancements for both professionals and beginning users alike. 1.3.0 improves Scribus' abilities in areas like performance, accessibility and workflow. With this release, we also commence support for Scribus running natively on Windows and Mac OS X. While it is very stable and usable, there are a number of under the hood changes which will continue through the 1.3.x series * Work is on-going to make Scribus more platform independent and alpha quality builds of Scribus are already working on Win32 and Mac OS X. A native Mac OS X build is available here: http://aqua.scribus.net * There is a new undo system, which includes an undo palette that has the undo history with details of each action. Undo also has object specific capabilities. The number of undo/redo steps can be set in the preferences. * Revised document and application preferences. Extensive attention has been placed on making preferences easier to use with document and application preferences distinctly separated. * Scribus now has "scratch space" which can be used to store objects partially or fully off the page. * Scribus can now generate Tables of Contents, based on user definable/selectable attributes. * Scribus now has its own built-in pre-flight verifier for printing or exporting to PDF. The pre-flighter is designed to look for issues which might cause problems when printing or exporting PDF. * More professional DTP features like adding ciceros for measurement units and support. Scribus now has true facing page support and page objects such as images can span them. * Scribus now has more extensive support for CMYK images, as well as clipping paths in TIFF files, CMYK-JPEG, as well as new support for native Photoshop ® PSD files. 16-bit RGB/CMYK TIFF and PSD support will follow soon. ICC color management of for these image formats is also upgraded. * New image effect features including tinting, greyscaling, blurring, colorizing and sharpening. * Scribus 1.3.0 now supports PDF 1.5 features including layers in PDF. * Scribus 1.3.0 uses an intermediary file format based on the Scribus 1.2.x format. The new format to finally replace this intermediary format is in design and development stages and its implementation will begin soon. For future development versions, we will be announcing competitions for icon sets and splashscreens. The Scribus Team would also like to thank Anduin.net/Øverby Consulting and n@...886... GmbH, Hamburg for gracefully sponsoring our Scribus Documentation site, our Bug Tracker and Anonymous CVS server. Also, a note of thanks to University of Salford - School of Media, Music and Performance for providing continued hosting of www.scribus.net and upgrading the server hardware. Getting Scribus 1.3.0 You can: Download from our Sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=125235 Download from: http://www.scribus.org.uk/ Get the MacOSX build from: http://aqua.scribus.net Screenshots: http://scribus.sourceforge.net/gallery/

Hanging on close.
by Bob Jamison 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hi, all, Since most of you guys (esp Bulia and Mental) are not on Jabber during the day while I am logged in, I thought I would send a bit of info to this list regarding finding the hang-on-close bug. I have been trying for the last day or so to find the reason that event processing, and thus gtk_main_loop() keeps running when all views are gone, and one or other of the dialogs managed by DialogManager have been displayed. Three things I know: 1) It is not the SPView in imageicon.cpp messing with the View-tracking code. I commented it out, no change. 2) It is not the result of wrap()-ing the SPView in a Gtk::Widget. Again, I commented it out with no change. 3) The DialogManager's destructor code seems to never be called, so explicitly deleting the managed dialogs would be a moot point. But if you think about it.. a dialog undisplayed with F12 is hidden, not killed. Of course it is still processing events. Below is the part of interface.cpp that is used for View deletion. sp_ui_close_view() is called by the verb for the File/Close menu item, while sp_ui_delete_view() is called by clicking the close [x] button. (I don't get that one. It seems to be a read-only function) By tracing, I found that sp_ui_close_view() always reaches the end of the method, and calls gtk_destroy_widget(). I can only guess that the persistence of Gtkmm objects is different from C Gtk objects, and that maybe we cannot just use the same idea that when all visible frames are gone, the application will just "go away." Maybe some explicit frame-counting and deletion would be necessary. Maybe transientizing needs to be done differently. Maybe maintain a std::map<Glib::ustring, SPView *> map of name->view of all editing windows.. When it goes to zero length, explicitly quit. This would also give us the ability to have a "Windows" menu. Bob (ishmal) ==== SNIP ====== void sp_ui_close_view (GtkWidget * widget) { GtkWidget *w; if (SP_ACTIVE_DESKTOP == NULL) { return; } w = (GtkWidget*)g_object_get_data (G_OBJECT (SP_ACTIVE_DESKTOP), "window"); if (sp_view_shutdown (SP_VIEW (SP_ACTIVE_DESKTOP))) { return; } gtk_widget_destroy (w); } /** * sp_ui_close_all * * This function is called to exit the program, and iterates through all * open document view windows, attempting to close each in turn.

_load_uri fix
by bulia byak 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

Whether or not we're in a hard freeze yet, I thought I need to give a heads up on a bug I just discovered and fixed. The function _load_uri in extensions/internal/svg.cpp did not convert the UTF-8 uri into local filename encoding. (Jon Cruz & me added these conversions to all places we could find, but this function was added by Bryce more recently, in the 0.42 cycle). Therefore filenames with Cyrillic characters did not work from command line or from recent file list. Now fixed, please test and review. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Remaining critical bugs
by Bryce Harrington 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

Looking over the remaining level-9 bugs, here are my thoughts: 1230742 etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc broken in windows build *** ======================================================================== Sounds like it should be fixed for this release. Doesn't sound too hard. Not sure what the cause is, though. 1227186 0.41 won't start; uses 90%+ of CPU ======================================================================== This may be a packaging issue unrelated to Inkscape, and not a must-fix bug. 1227185 Layer Add Then Move Crash *** ======================================================================== This sounds fairly important, but it appears to be Win32-specific and we do not have a backtrace. I think someone on Win32 should test it and report some additional debugging info, and we should treat it as a must fix. 1226498 WIN: crash on open/import tiff ======================================================================== This bug simply requires use of libtiff3.dll in the windows package. If that's included in the latest package, then we can close this bug. However, I don't think I'd rank this one as a must fix, since it's an uncommon function and apparently occurs just on Windows. 1221401 WIN 2003: Loading the Tutorial crash Inkscape ======================================================================== Sounds like it's an issue with Gtk on Windows 2003 SP1, rather than Inkscape. It works on other Windows releases, so I think this is rare enough that it doesn't qualify as must fix. 1221398 WIN 2003: Saving a file crashes Inkscape ======================================================================== Possibly the same situation as 1221401; also it lacks enough debugging info to troubleshoot. If it can be replicated more widely, and if we can get better debug output, maybe this could be a must fix, but as it stands currently it doesn't qualify. 1217361 freeze on quitting with transform dialog *** ======================================================================== Sounds like it's pretty pervasive, and causes a crash, so this is a must fix. 1210100 Selecting corrupted embedded images crashes *** ======================================================================== I think this may be fixed now, but we need someone on Win32 to confirm. Since it only happens on Windows, and only when using corrupted files, I'm not sure it qualifies as must fix, but since we have a patch to fix it, I think we may as well put priority on getting it done. 1202453 CRASH: effects ======================================================================== We do not have a reliable way to reproduce this. If someone can find a way to reliably reproduce it, I think it should be a must fix, but without that I don't think we should let it hold up the release. 1198534 The XML windows stops in a loop-search blocking program. ======================================================================== No one seems able to reproduce this one. It might be windows-only. Without some way to reproduce it, or a back trace, we can't consider it a must fix bug. 1169396 Crash on startup (win32) ======================================================================== We need someone on Win32 to verify this still exists; it may be fixed now. If it does still exist, it's a must fix, but unless someone can confirm and provide some updated debug info, I don't think it should be listed as must fix. 1167897 missing units.txt *** ======================================================================== We really need someone on Win32 to sort this one out, but I think it qualifies as a must fix. 1157125 crashes on startup - document.cpp line 367 ======================================================================== Possibly just a packaging issue; not enough info to debug it. It's also old and we haven't heard from the reporter for a while, so since no one can reproduce it, I don't think it qualifies. 1119649 Inkscape-0.41-1 One or more extensions failed to load ======================================================================== The bug that would not die. :-) The changes we've done for 0.42 will reduce the visibility of this bug, but since people are still reporting it, this bug should stay open to give them a place to add their comments to. 1108732 New releases still ~ARCH in Gentoo ======================================================================== I've been pushing to get 0.41 listed as stable in Gentoo, and have succeeded for 4 different architectures. Ironically, though, it's still not listed as stable for x86. In any case, this is completely external to the Inkscape codebase, so not really relevant to our bug fixing cycle. 995815 markers: markers don't take object color ======================================================================== This is more of a feature request, for an SVG 1.2 feature, so doesn't qualify as a must fix. Sure would be a nice feature to have though... 1220959 Scripts with Dependencies Crash Inkscape CVS ======================================================================== Since extensions are an optional feature, I don't think this is a must fix bug. Also, I suspect this one is going to require a LOT of work to get sorted out, so not something we can achieve in the near term anyway. Okay, those are my thoughts on the critical bugs that are must-fixes. Please speak up if you disagree. I think we may be able to get these fixed within a week or two. >From reviewing the bugs it is clear that we are extremely desperate for more Win32 people to get more heavily involved in the QA process.

Hi, ¿Does anybody know about a program for viewing SVG slices?(Linux/Windows) I would like to use Inkscape, because it lets me draw for selecting items, but I couldn't hide the main menu, and there is no such a thing like a page. ¿Isnt it? Bye Jose Hevia

Hard freeze
by Bryce Harrington 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

Let's plan on entering the Hard Freeze today, at GMT 2000 (about 6.5 hrs from right now). The release wardens for this release will be Kees (drb) and Peter (pjrm). Their job is to do final QA of the codebase, review all of the last minute changes to ensure that nothing has been broken, and to review/apply any patches that people wish to add prior to the release. At this time, please refrain from directly checking in code to the codebase, but instead post to the patch tracker. If you have any outstanding bug fixes, translations, or tutorial updates, please submit them ASAP. Kees and Peter will review and apply the patches they deem necessary for the release. When they are satisfied with the state of the codebase, they'll announce it is ready for release, and apply the official 0.42 tagging. This normally takes a few days. After it has been tagged, we will allow a day or two for packagers to create and test packages, and then announce! :-) Bryce

bug at bezier-utils.cpp
by João Rafael Nicola 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

Hi, I am using inkscape-0.41 at an Athlon64 machine. The program was crashing whenever I used some tool which uses bezier curves (caligraphic tool, free hand tool (i think), etc.). The programa failed on a assertion, requiring the last member of a double array to be 1.0, like in: g_assert("bla".., u[len-1] == 1.0) This kind of comparision (equals) on double is unreliable, since rounding errors may introduce subtle differences between two values which we would expect to be equal. The correct way to verify this should be like: g_assert("blas",u[len-1]>=0.999 && [len-1]<=1.001). Where the constants are chosen accordingly. The code that creates this array is in the function chord_length_parameterize This is a snipped of chord_length_parameterize: gdouble tot_len = u[len - 1]; g_return_if_fail( tot_len != 0 ); if (finite(tot_len)) { for (unsigned i = 1; i < len; ++i) { u[i] /= tot_len; } } else { /* We could do better, but this probably never happens anyway. */ for (unsigned i = 1; i < len; ++i) { u[i] = i / (gdouble) ( len - 1 ); } } In both cases, u[len-1] should be very near 1.0, but not necessarily equals 1.0. I added the line u[len-1] = 1.0; after the loop. And the problem stopped. However, the true bug lies in the comparision (u[len-1]==1.0) By the way. Thanks for developing this excellent program. I am now deploying it at an workplace in place of Corel Draw. Yours, João Rafael Moraes Nicola

Blinking rectangle
by De Winne, Joris 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

Hello, Is there a way to change the fill color from a rectangle without reloading the whole document. Normally this is done by using animated svg. In Batik it's possible to do it using the Update Runnable Queue. An example: I've a rectangle extension tag taking the normal rectangle tag parameters, but also two clors. Now every second I want to switch between the colors resulting in a blinking effect. Is there a way this can be achieved using Inkscape. Note: I'm not using the Inkscape editor, but I'm direct using the Inkscape programming code. So a possible way is to use a thread changing something on an object every second and throwing an event. The problem is I've no idea what object to change and what event to throw. Any suggestions, ideas or help is always welcome. Joris

Ok, fd.o admin daniels has setup planet.inkscape.org for us which points to where planet inkscape is located on the fd.o server. Who can setup inkscape.org to point to this on freedesktop.org? I actually don't know how to do this...I'm admitting out of tiredness and lack of wanting to :) Actually, I would like to know how. Bryce or Nicu said that Mental knows how to do this on sf.net? Who can change this on sf.net so that we can start pointing to planet.inkscape.org? You all can go ahead and start forwarding your blog links over to nicu (nicu@...398...). Thats right, if you don't have a blog, get one and hand over that RSS feed. If you want a good free one, try tribe.net, or use livejournal.com.

trimming trailing zeros in output
by Peter Moulder 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

Appended is a patch to trim trailing zeros after the decimal point, so that `10.000000' becomes `10', and `1.500000' becomes `1.5'. (A couple of people have complained about our trailing zeros.) Given that we're so near to release, I didn't want to commit without discussing here first, i.e. whether to wait until after 0.42. This affects both SVG and eps/ps output, and possibly other formats. Are there any situations where e.g. `4' would have a different meaning from `4.0' or `4.0000000' ? E.g. in C `4.0 / 3' means something different from `4 / 3'; are there any similar cases in postscript or something ? Testing done so far: Inkscape compiles, and passes its test suite (make check). HEAD-inkscape --export-plain-svg=a0.svg share/examples/art-nouveau-P3.svg trim-inkscape --export-plain-svg=at.svg share/examples/art-nouveau-P3.svg diff -du a[0t].svg | less (manual checking for bad differences) # Compare eps output from the trimmed and HEAD versions of inkscape, # in an attempt to pick up differences in meaning of the two SVG # files. HEAD-inkscape --export-eps=a0-0.eps a0.svg HEAD-inkscape --export-eps=at-0.eps at.svg diff a[0t]-0.eps # produces no output trim-inkscape --export-eps=a0-t.eps a0.svg trim-inkscape --export-eps=at-t.eps at.svg diff a[0t]-t.eps # produces no output diff -du a0-[0t].eps | less (manual checking for bad differences; though I'm not very familiar with postscript) # Generalize the gives-same-eps test. for i in share/examples/*.{svg,svgz}; do HEAD-inkscape --export-plain-svg=$HOME/tmp/a0.svg $i if trim-inkscape --export-plain-svg=$HOME/tmp/at.svg $i; then :; else echo "$i to plain failed" fi for f in 0 t; do HEAD-inkscape --export-eps=$HOME/tmp/a$f-0.eps ~/tmp/a$f.svg done diff -u ~/tmp/a[0t]-0.eps|head|grep -q . && echo "$i has diffs" done At the time of writing, I haven't actually run inkscape in its gui mode: I've done the change remotely. Of course I'll do that too before committing. Another thing I'll do before committing (but haven't yet done) is to create a new unit test. What are people's comments about whether to include this in 0.42 or not? What further testing would be needed if it were to be in 0.42 ? pjrm.

Error when building on win32
by Joshua A. Andler 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Since Arpad had done the round of updates to the .po files a few days ago, I get the following error when building on win32. make[1]: Entering directory `C:/cvs/inkscape/inkscape/po' c:\gtk26\bin\msgfmt -o am.mo am.po make[1]: *** [am.mo] Error -1073741515 And then it gives a windows error dialog with an OK button that says msgfmt.exe couldn't find intl.dll. It was building perfectly fine up until that commit and he said he just did the updates like normal. I'm not sure what was changed, but compiling errors out since he updated those files. It may affect more than the "am" files because it dies on that one, which is the first for it to process. Anyone have any thoughts? Should I file a formal bug? Thanks! -Josh

New w3c proposal for xml:id
by Bob Jamison 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

W3C has a candidate proposal for specifying the rules for the id="" attribute. http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/PR-xml-id-20050712/ Note how it says that W3C "licenses" the attribute "xml:id" for this purpose. Apparently, the purpose of this document is to more cleanly separate xml:id from other types of attribute. This will likely add the ID type to the DOM spec, as attributes are Nodes, too. This probably won't affect how we use the id attribute, but it is an interesting read, and might help with decisions on how we use it. Bob

Bug status for Inkscape 0.42 release
by Bryce Harrington 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

There's still a few more days before we officially kick off the bug fixing phase of the 0.42 release, however I'm going to start posting bug stats. For the 0.40 release we set a target of 150 points worth of bugs, but hit 360 points by the time we stopped counting. Pretty damn cool. :-) For this release, I'd like to up the challenge by setting our target to 300 points. We did it before without breaking much of a sweat, and we have over 200 bugs open currently, so I think this will challenge us to really beef up Inkscape's quality for this coming release. Once we've achieved the 300 point total, we'll doublecheck the list of critical bugs and identify ones that must be fixed. Hopefully we can close enough of these early that this will be a very short list.

win32 compilation error

by mike＠...869... 12 Jul '05

> I can remember what they are and perhaps we can finish my tutoring. That > "ABI" message comes to mind, as well as static linking. Yeah, for now don't worry about that, I'm making sure Inkscape isn't affected by the ABI problems for now. The good news is that real C++ support (based on binary deltas and double compiling) is in CVS, and 1.2 is shaping up nicely for a release in the next few months. Basically, as long as you can build the current packages nightly builds aren't too difficult, it just requires a build server. thanks -mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Release wardens for 0.42 release?
by Bryce Harrington 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

As we move to the next phase in the release process, it is time to select the two people who will be responsible for our final QA check. Our process is to have one person from the previous release, and add one new person. Last time, if I remember correctly, the release wardens were Bulia and Kees. That was Kees' first time and Bulia's second, so the rotation would have Kees and one new person. Jon, would you be available to serve in this position for this release? Kees and Jon, I suspect we may be ready to go into final release next weekend. Do each of you have sufficient time next weekend (and possibly on into the following week) to do this? Thanks, Bryce

Inkscape Status July 3, 2005
by Bryce Harrington 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Oops, a couple days late on the stats this time... Project Status - Friday, July 1, 2005 Attention is focusing heavily on bug fixing now. We're over the hump, and the release is within sight (probably a week or two). Many of the remaining bugs are Windows-specific, so we need some more developers and testers on that platform to grind those out. The About screen contest has closed and is in voting phase; if you've not already, please go check out the really cool screens that have been submitted, and vote on your two favorites: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1227185&group_id=… Statistics May 15 Jun 1 Jun 15 Jul 1 ========== ====== ====== ====== ====== Max Week's Rank on SourceForge: * 38 33 35 Total SF Page Views * 1,935,964 3,679,803 3,797,037 Total SF Downloads * 254,647 270,500 283,789 Total Freshmeat URL Hits 18,691 19,149 19,482 19,809 Total Freshmeat Subscriptions 181 183 186 189 Lines of Code in src/: 373,651 374,180 375,836 376,319 Code lines 259,984 260,236 261,201 261,600 Comment line 67,053 67,136 67,657 67,724 Blank 53,244 53,443 53,632 53,651 Lines of Docs in doc/: 26,848 27,790 27,792 27,792 Lines of content in website: 39,865 42,490 42,610 42,700 Size of the Inkscape wiki: 27,052 26,729 27,712 28,525 Bugs open/total: 208/1196 215/1223 199/1271 196/1312 Features open/total: 442/ 712 453/ 728 466/746 471/ 767 Patches open/total: 11/ 221 11/ 230 18/247 10/ 268 CVS Commits (as per inkscape-cvs) 11,897 12,040 12,181 12,372 Inkscape-devel membership: 173 179 180 188 Inkscape-announce membership: 197 202 207 217 Inkscape-user membership: 242 248 257 258 Num Translations: 33 33 33 33 Ave Translation Ratio: 47.0 47.8 48.3 48.6 * - Statistics unavailable

assembler messages

Facing problem while using COMPRESSED SVG extensions
by Swapnil Khandave 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Hi, I am facing problem while using extensions. I am only concerned about extension for COMPRESSED SVG. When I try to run the executable it shows message box containing following message: [One or more extensions failed to load The failed extensions have been skipped. Inkscape will continue to run normally but those extensions will be unavailable. For details to troubleshoot this problem, please refer to the error log located at: D:\Documents and Settings\swapnil\Application Data\Inkscape\extension-errors.log ] AND extension-errors.log contains: [Extension "SVGZ Output" failed to load because a dependency was not met. Dependency:: type: executable location: path string: gzip] and I don't get the facility for compressing the SVG file. I have downloaded gzip exe and I have placed it in the system path, so what is the problem? What else it want? Can any one help me? Thanks in advance. Regards, Swapnil

Are there "print" extensions"? Uhm, yes, but not the way that you're thinking. There are print extensions, but they don't really match the architecture of the rest of the extensions systems -- they were added separately. They're really more like pluggable renderers. So Postscript is done this way, where certain functions can be implemented, and used to render the document a different way. This means that there isn't a scripting interface implemented for this (I have no clue to how you would). Anyway, no, there isn't currently a way to put that into the pipeline as a "print extension". But, you could have a "Save as multipage" extension with an autogui for all the settings you want... --Ted

inkscape-shadow.README installed as executable
by Wolfram Quester 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Hi, while preparing the package of 0.42pre1 for debian lintian was not happy: W: inkscape: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkscape-shadow.README This file gets the x-bit during installation since in share/extensions/Makefile it is listed as extension. Perhaps "otherstuff" would be a more appropriate place for it? Or better yet, shouldn't these READMEs be installed in the documentation directory, that is /usr/share/doc/inkscape? With best wishes, Wolfi

Inkscape build test system + current results

A couple weeks ago, Kees and I set up an automated test harness for Inkscape. It's been running smoothly and collecting test results. Currently, the harness simply retrieves the nightly snapshots and builds them, logging compilation or installation problems. Anyway, I notice it's found a few warnings: ### BUILD ### Making all in src display/canvas-arena.cpp: In function `void sp_canvas_arena_class_init(SPCanvasArenaClass*)': display/canvas-arena.cpp:91: warning: invalid access to non-static data member `SPCanvasArenaClass::arena_event' of NULL object display/canvas-arena.cpp:91: warning: (perhaps the `offsetof' macro was used incorrectly) display/sp-canvas.cpp: In function `void sp_canvas_item_class_init(SPCanvasItemClass*)': display/sp-canvas.cpp:112: warning: invalid access to non-static data member `SPCanvasItemClass::event' of NULL object display/sp-canvas.cpp:112: warning: (perhaps the `offsetof' macro was used incorrectly) libnrtype/Layout-TNG-Output.cpp: In function `const char* Inkscape::Text::weight_to_text(PangoWeight)': libnrtype/Layout-TNG-Output.cpp:226: warning: enumeration value `PANGO_WEIGHT_SEMIBOLD' not handled in switch livarot/float-line.cpp: In member function `void FloatLigne::Affiche()': livarot/float-line.cpp:518: warning: long unsigned int format, size_t arg (arg 2) livarot/float-line.cpp:524: warning: long unsigned int format, size_t arg (arg 2) Making all in po am.po: parsing error for `<defs>': #: ../src/main.cpp:326 msgid "Remove unused definitions from the <defs> section(s) of the document" msgstr "" (repeated for each language) WARNING: Bad markup found in translations.

New Inkscape Tutorial Article
by Jon Phillips 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/56/Inkscape_Vector_Graphics.pdf I also added a link on the wiki: http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ArticlesAndPresentations It is in Issue 56: July 2005 of Linux Magazine. It is a nice little article covering how to draw with Inkscape. The PDF above has the whole article! I also noted in my daily scan of the linux magazines that the PR we send out for OCAL and Inkscape makes it into most of the magazines now, if only a little blurb...soooo....great!

Blogs for Inkscape contributers (mainly SoC)
by Jonathan Leighton 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Hi everyone, I am going to be setting up WordPress blogs for those who would like one, in response to the request for them for SoC people. Any Inkscape contributer is eligible for a blog, and you are very much encouraged to write one : ). I am going to set them up on the default "Kubrick" template, but if you want to customise yours you are free to do so. I will help people out with admin issues... but if such issues are created by you writing a template, adding plugins, etc. I won't be able to help (sorry, but I don't have time). Details I need are: 1) Name 2) E-mail address 3) A 'title' for your blog When it is set up I will email you details so that you can log into your account and begin blogging. You will be the administrator and responsible for doing any configuration that you need/want (don't worry there's nothing hard). However, as I say, I am willing to help with problems so long as said problems are not the result of plugins or themes you've added. Jon -- Jonathan Leighton aka.

Okay... I think it's time to take our SVG QA up a notch. ;-) SVG_RenderTest is a new test program for doing regression testing of SVG rendering. You can download it from the Inkscape File downloads page, or directly from here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=157… `runtest` is a bash script that takes *.svg files in the current directory and attempts to render them into png's using Inkscape, librsvg, cairo, and batik. It reports PASS or FAIL for each. )See the README for the full list of programs that this test expects to be installed.) It also performs a visual 'diff' of the rendered images using the Motiontrack software. This calculates a score showing how relatively different the images are, and also generates a PNG that visually displays the brightness difference of the files. Here is an example of the results this test generates: 1.inkscape PASS : 0 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.librsvg PASS : 0 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.cairo PASS : 0 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.batik PASS : 0 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.cairo-mdiff FAIL : 2 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.inkscape-mdiff FAIL : 8 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 1.librsvg-mdiff FAIL : 2 b_w_tiger_susan_park_01 2.inkscape PASS : 0 daggers 2.librsvg PASS : 0 daggers 2.cairo PASS : 0 daggers 2.batik PASS : 0 daggers 2.cairo-mdiff FAIL : 7 daggers 2.inkscape-mdiff FAIL : 8 daggers 2.librsvg-mdiff FAIL : 7 daggers 3.inkscape PASS : 0 sword_hanger 3.librsvg PASS : 0 sword_hanger 3.cairo PASS : 0 sword_hanger 3.batik PASS : 0 sword_hanger 3.cairo-mdiff FAIL : 1 sword_hanger 3.inkscape-mdiff FAIL : 8 sword_hanger 3.librsvg-mdiff FAIL : 1 sword_hanger The numbers in the third column are either the exit code or, in the case of mdiff, a score that shows the relative difference between batik's output and the output from the given program. The higher the score, the worse the difference. You can see examples of the visual diffs here: http://www.inkscape.org/svg_rendertest_example/ The motivations for this test are to help: 1. Regression testing of known bad SVG's (i.e. for Inkscape QA) 2. Compliance testing of Inkscape against the W3C test suite 3. SVG compatibility testing between different SVG rendering engines 4. Testing of the Open Clip Art Library images (ob OCAL thread) This first release works well enough on my machine, but certainly leaves plenty of room for improvement. ;-) Please send me patches if you have ideas for improvements or spot bugs. Enjoy, Bryce
