Builds

I have been more regular with Win32 builds lately in this dir: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/inkscape/builds Just look for the latest InkscapeYYMMDDhhmm.zip file. The one for this morning is: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/inkscape/builds/Inkscape0503040733.zip In the very near future, I'm going to attempt to gather and build -all- of the sources to get gtkmm/libxml/etc working on W32 without the use of other people's binaries (OPB), so that we can have a clean dependency tree of our own. Maybe supply a single source bundle and a build script to simplify the build for others. On another note, I also occasionally build a copy of firefox with svg/cairo on FC3. It seems to work on my recent Gentoo install nicely, too. It is here: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/inkscape/files/firefox-i686-linux-gtk2+xft+s… (built today). I attached the .mozconfig that made it, in case anyone wants to build their own. A good test is to look at the svg files on http://croczilla.com/svg Bob . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/objdir ac_add_options --enable-svg ac_add_options --enable-svg-renderer-cairo ac_add_options --enable-system-cairo ac_add_options --disable-ldap ac_add_options --disable-calendar ac_add_options --disable-mailnews ac_add_options --enable-extensions="cookie,xml-rpc,xmlextras,pref,transformiix,universalchardet,webservices,inspector,gnomevfs,negotiateauth" ac_add_options --enable-crypto ac_add_options --disable-composer ac_add_options --enable-single-profile ac_add_options --disable-profilesharing ac_add_options --disable-shared ac_add_options --enable-static ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --enable-toolkit-gtk2 ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 ac_add_options --enable-xft ac_add_options --disable-freetype2 ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --disable-accessibility ac_add_options --disable-installer ac_add_options --enable-strip ac_add_options --disable-toolkit-qt #ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -march=i686" ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2" ac_add_options --enable-official-branding

Website news section CMS
by Jonathan Leighton 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

We previously discussed the idea of using a CMS such as WordPress to handle the news part of the Inkscape website. No real conclusion was reached, so I thought I'd send out this email asking for votes/opinions for and against. If we decide to go for it then I could probably get it done this weekend. Cheers, Jon -- Jonathan Leighton aka. Turnip http://turnipspatch.com/ | http://digital-proof.org/

I got a donation from 'OSDN / VA Software' for Inkscape the other day, in the amount of $3.54 ($5 less PP/SF fees). I'm not sure what to do with it... I'll hold onto it for now until we either get a general fund set up, or it's needed for something for the project. The breakdown of the transaction appears below: Donated amount...........................: $5.00 PayPal fee...............................: $0.46 SourceForge.net fee......................: $1.00 TOTAL TO YOU.............................: $3.54 Comment from the donator: make inkscape even better - be blessed! Thank you The SourceForge.net Team Bryce

URGENT BREAKAGE: preferences loading/saving
by bulia byak 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Someone's recent change (likely the repr changes by swingincelt) broke preferences loading and saving. Now upon exit, a new <inkscape> element with all its children is nested at the end of the ~/.inkscape/preferences.xml instead of replacing the existing <inkscape>. Thus the size of the file grows by 13K on each run of the program, and any changes you make to the prefs are not read next time you run. Please fix ASAP.

Adobe Illustrator CS SVG files + incompatibility
by Jon Phillips 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

My girlfriend just made all these images for the clipart library by tracing them in Inkscape (rock!) and then editing and composing them with Adobe Illustrator CS. However, they cannot be opened in Inkscape. I'm writing this to let everyone know that there are about 10 images available at this link, http://openclipart.org/submissions.php, done by Linda Kim that would be good for testing interoperability of Adobe SVG and Inkscape. I created a bug on this and a new category for import bugs. If this one fits your fancy, it should be easy to write a script to strip out what Inkscape doesn't support, as can be done by hand in a text editor. However, to get Inkscape to allow for various unsupported features, or compliant svg that we don't suppor yet, might be more difficult. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1153207&group_id=9… Also, if anyone needs more examples, I can get those created in Adobe Illustrator CS.

Inkscape.org and the image/svg+xml mimetype
by Bob Jamison 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Could someone please add these entries to /htdocs/.htaccess on the web site? AddType image/svg+xml .svg AddType image/svg+xml .svgz Inkscape.org can't serve svg at the moment, which can potentially be embarassing. ;-) This might need to be added to the wiki code, too. Bob

SVG+Xforms demo
by Bob Jamison 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

One of the guys on irc.mozilla.org/#svg (nick: woo) showed me a demo of svg-enabled Firefox with the xforms extension from mozilla.org. It is a little calculator demo, implemented using svg and xforms. Very nice. http://artforms.progressivex.com/mozilla/svgcalc.xml Bob

web site proposals
by bulia byak 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

I'd like to propose two things regarding the Inkscape web site. Volunteers are welcome: 1 Create an RSS feed for the main page news. 2 Create a new header graphic to replace the boring white "Inkscape" on blue. As a graphic app, we are starting to deserve something more sophisticated. The web site itself is OK, I don't think we need to drastically change the entire design (although suggestions are welcome), but the top panel is decidedly dull and pathetic. Show off your graphic talent! Send your submissions to the devel list for people to discuss. The best one (if the winner is not obvious, we may need to do a voting) will make it to the site. One technical note: the banner cannot be fixed width, because our site is not fixed width - so it must be either one piece for the top left corner or two pieces for two corners, with some flat color fill between them. The minimum screen resolution is 800x600.
