0.45 Critical Bugs
by Bryce Harrington 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hi all, I've gone through all of the critical bugs (level 9) that are still open and knocked out all the ones that are still needing info or that don't lead to crashes/deadlocks/dataloss/etc. These are the bugs that remain: 1633884 make check failure in svg-color.cpp 1633685 Crash on undo connector 1630756 memory limit 1 GB 1630101 crash inkscape click in connectors network align 1624076 Crash after changing canvas size fields by click 1612057 memory limit at 1GB 1587063 Infinite loop / Deadlock on Windows 1576715 Crash when ungrouping connectors 1565938 crash in sp_font_selector_size_changed 1557355 Crash when clicking on the "Object style" button 1551606 Crash when selecting font 1547502 ** Inkscape crash when Text dialog called 1543598 Crashes when in Latin1 path name 1537529 CRASH with shape tool and popup menu mouse clicks 1503564 win2003 SP1: crash on start 1499971 detect and warn about installed libsmooth 1467137 Shrinking a pattern causes lock-up 1441003 flowRoot error with inkscape's svg It'd be a miracle if all of these were closed prior to the 0.45 release. There is only one bug that I am truly concerned with for the release (marked ** above), but even that one is not being hit by everyone (although I suspect one of the other font bugs is a dupe of it). What do others think? Are there any bugs above that you feel would ruin Inkscape 0.45 if we didn't fix in the release? Or any bugs that aren't listed, that you think should be? Bryce

Inkscape svn head unfrozen - return to regular development
by Bryce Harrington 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

With the 0.45 release branch now established, all developers may now return to regular unfrozen development on svn head. :-) Changes for the 0.45 (like translations, bug fixes, tutorial updates, etc.) will need to be committed to both HEAD and the release branch. Bryce

Inkscape 0.45 release branch established
by Bryce Harrington 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hi all, ACSpike and I have created the release branch for Inkscape 0.45. With this, we are now ready to move to into Feature Freeze. All further release work (translations, tutorial updates, bug fixes, etc.) will need to be done on the release branch. You can check it out like this: svn checkout \\ https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/branches/REL… \\ inkscape-0.45-release-branch Note that whereas in previous releases, the branch was made AFTER the feature freeze; this time we're doing it BEFORE the feature freeze. The reason for this is to enable svn HEAD to return to regular development. So please, if you have changes that must go into the release, be sure to commit to both the release branch -and- to svn HEAD. Bryce

Josh, I think showing off the improved gradients would be cool. Wear a black turtleneck :) Can you also demo how blur works ? Showing off the new about screen should really wow people (it certainly wowed me). You will have one of the free passes. ps: let's shoot for a group dinner - last year it was a lot of fun. john Joshua A. Andler wrote: > I'm waiting for my FSA refund to get my tickets and hotel.

"plain svg" is 1.2 not 1.0
by Alex Mac 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

saving as plain svg creates an svg document that claims to be svg 1.0 and yet contains things like flowRoot and flowRegion from 1.2 Is there any way to flatten an inkscape document to plain valid svg 1.1? Its a bit inconvenient to have to use "convert to text" on each text flow in the document

SCALE INkscape BOF
by jtaber 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Our BOF is on. I figure we can give 3-4 short demos (like 5 slides or so) of different aspects. I have offered to do one on layers / GIS usage. Here are some other suggestions for others: * Release .45 features * Showing gradient/blur features - the new about dialog is awesome - we need someone artistic that can show how this is done (Josh ?). Maybe this can show the use of a tablet as well. * any other favorite features I think it's important to keep the demos short so there is lots of time for questions John

Effect->Color->Brighter
by Tavmjong Bah 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hi, I am having trouble understanding the logic of the Color Brighter effect. The Color Darker effect is quite simple... it takes each RGB component and multiplies it by 0.9 resulting in moving the color 10% of the distance towards black. I would have thought that the Brighten effect would move a color 10% of the distance towards white. Instead it has logic that changes Black (0,0,0) to (10,10,10), any R, G, or B value less than 10 to 11, and any R, G, or B value greater than 10 gets divided by 0.9. This results in a greater change, the brighter the source color. A simple replacement for the current Brighter effect would be: r=int( (25.5 + 0.9 * r); g=int( (25.5 + 0.9 * g); b=int( (25.5 + 0.9 * b); One can see easily see that these equations have the right limits for what I would have expected.

arrowhead color bug
by jtaber 13 Jan '07

13 Jan '07

Arrowheads that remain black regardless of line color remains a problem. There are various bug postings for this - some showing closed others showing open. All have been given a priority of 5. Yet this is a real usability issue. I've tried to look at the code without success but it seems that the arrowhead takes the alignment from the line so it should also be able to take the color. Can someone have a go at this before .45 ?

Alt-Click shortcut
by Bryce Harrington 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Currently Inkscape uses Alt-Click for various things (select-under, randomize star, etc.) However, generally this shortcut is taken by the desktop environments. In fact we have a bug in our tracker and in Ubuntu's tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1250110&group_id=9… It is possible for the user to recover this shortcut for Inkscape by disabling it in the desktop environment's configuration settings, but this has the obvious downside of disallowing the shortcut for other programs beyond Inkscape. In playing around with it a little, I notice that Alt-Ctrl-LeftClick appears to produce the same behavior as Alt-LeftClick. Since Alt-Ctrl-LeftClick is not taken by the desktop environment, there is no conflict. Thus it would seem that we could address the bug easily without any code change to Inkscape, by simply altering the documentation to indicate use of Alt-Ctrl-LeftClick instead of Alt-LeftClick. For users who prefer the Alt-LeftClick behavior, that will remain working so no functionality is lost. What do others think of this approach? Bryce

A brazilian wiki with scripts tutorials and gallery
by Popolon 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Didn't know this before. Yemanja say there was a good brasilian wiki about inkscape. She has the project to do another in french, with same spirit : http://twiki.softwarelivre.org/bin/view/InkscapeBrasil/WebHome There are cool SVG (galeria section), some nice tutorials (screenshot should be enough for people knowing inkscape but that doesn't understand portuguese). And some inkscape scripts from a guy linked in the gallery. Inkmoz a script using mozilla gecko to apply javascript on svg documents (english + portuguese): http://colibre.com.br/bin/view/Aurium/InkMoz Only described in portuguese, a script for designer that cuts a svg for webpage : http://colibre.com.br/bin/view/Aurium/InkscapeAreaCuter (sorry only understand words that are near from french ones). I will post another message when the fr wiki will be OK.

Buildtool fix
by Bob Jamison 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Hi, Everyone who is building on win32 will want to 'svn up' and recompile buildtool.cpp: g++ buildtool.cpp -o btool Johan pointed out a bug to me where the .mo files in /locale were being copied to the wrong place. That is now fixed. This is -very- important to have before 0.45. Thanks, Johan! bob

Note that it is not that hard to get correct builds from 'make': only Makefile.mingw.common has to be updated a bit which was real easy. My question is therefore: should this be done in future and be committed to SVN? Maybe only for this release for the last time? And then after the release, delete all mingw makefiles, so there is no confusion anymore?

Schedule for 0.45 release branch
by Bryce Harrington 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

For this release, we're doing things a little differently in that we'll be tagging the release branch earlier in the process than usual. This is primarily to enable developers not focusing on the release process to continue with development work. During hard freezes we require use of the patch tracker instead of svn anyway, so it shouldn't hurt to return svn to regular developer access anyway. So, we're planning on tagging the release branch this weekend - perhaps as early as Friday. The main requirement is that we want to be able to pass 'make check'. Ideally, I'd like to see us pass on all platforms (Linux, Win32, and OSX), but at least we must pass on Linux. Bryce

NEW: perspective extension
by bulia byak 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

I have committed the Perspective extension from our patch tracker. Like Envelope, it morphs one path to fit another path with 4 nodes, but it does it differently using with perspective distortions. One thing it requires is the Numeric Python package. Since we're carrying our own Python on Windows, can we add it to the package too? Otherwise this extension is unusable on Windows. There are more issues with this extension, such as it not working properly for me :) http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1600298&group_id=9… Also it displays a window with some Python/Inkscape warnings after it is run. However I decided to commit it, since being an extension it will not destabilize the program, and because more people will find it and test it and hopefully fix it. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

how to detect a selected node in an extension
by unknown＠example.com 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Hello, I try to do some manipulations on paths within a python extension. As I saw a selected object is passed as argument with its id to the python script. Now I am interested in finding out which node of a path is selected in single-node-manipulation mode (don't know the exact name in English). Is there a way to get an list of selected indices or something like that? Thanks Werner Arnhold

Building Inkscape on Win32
by unknown＠example.com 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Currently we use 'buildtool' to build Inkscape on windows, which works perfect. Should we therefore still keep Makefile.mingw and its friends up to date? I cannot 'make' Inkscape with gtk210 because "-I$(GTK)/include/cairomm-1.0 \" is missing in the include paths. When added it works fine, for the first files, but compilation stops at /dom/io/socket.cpp (plus i get a GLIBMM_DLL redefinition warning for a lot of files) Also, I tried the latest build from http://inkscape.modevia.com/ and it crashes when the global pref window is opened. Lots of build problems right before the release :S Note that when I do 'buildtool dist' I get no errors and a nice working Inkscape distribution (that does not crash on opening pref dialog), but with the locale language files not properly copied. 1. Should 'make' be made to work properly on Windows. If yes, with gtk2.10 of gtk2.8? 2. inkscape.modevia.com crosscompiles I think; does that cause the crashes on pref. dialog?

Inkscape 0.45-pre0 released
by Bryce Harrington 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

This is the first pre-release of Inkscape 0.45. The purpose of this release is to give packagers a package to test their procedures on, so we can identify where problems are in time for the pre1 release. Much work still remains before Inkscape 0.45 can be finalized. Download here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=9911… Please experiment with creating packages (rpms, debs, zips, etc.) of this package and report any problems to the bug tracker. Here's the issues I already know about: * NEWS - release notes are not yet complete; we'll replace this with the finalized version later * About screen is missing. Pending contest. * keys.de.html is empty. This file was missing, and I created a 0-byte file just so make distcheck will pass. There is a bug in the bug tracker about this. * For win32 there is a new 'buildtool' for building Inkscape, however the dist packaging notes in Wiki still reflect the old build approach. If other steps should be performed, someone please update the wiki to document the correct steps for the new system. Bryce
