localizable strings

Everyone don't forget to wrap your user-visible strings with _( ) Like so: "Some string" becomes _("Some string") This marks it for translation. I've added these to the debug dialog and the align dialog. -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

last change to gradients
by bulia byak 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

I made the automatically created new gradients garbage-collectable. I hope this is the last change to gradients for this release, it was necessary because otherwise it was easy to grow the gradient list out of proportions (though it was also easy to shrink it by vacuuming defs, but this could crash Fill&Stroke; now it does not mind when gradients are deleted from under it). However when a gradient is edited (e.g. stops added), it is not autocollectable anymore. Please test this as thoroughly as you can. Here's the complete Release Notes entry for gradients: * When you switch an object to gradient fill or stroke, the new gradient is created with that object's previous fill or stroke color going from 1 to 0 opacity (instead of the hardcoded black-to-white fully opaque gradient as before). New objects do not share gradients now, except when you switch to gradient multiple selected objects with the same fill color (you can also explicitly set two or more objects to use the same gradient by selecting it in the list in the Fill and Stroke dialog, or by pasting style from one object to another). Newly created gradients are automatically garbage-collected when no longer used; however, when you edit a gradient in the Gradient Editor, it becomes sticky and can only be removed, when not in use, by the Vacuum Defs command.

Project Status 2004-11-01

01 Nov '04

We're in the run-up to another release, and as can be seen by the dent in the bug count since last report, things are going well. Some progress was achieved this weekend on the layer UI, but there is still work to be done. There's also now nearly a full year's worth of status data, and it's interesting to compare today's numbers with those we started from. To me the most striking number is the linecount. According to the statistics, Inkscapers have added almost twice as many lines of code and comments as we started with. The growth in documentation is also quite noteworthy. Also for the first time we have more subscribers to our announce list than membership on our devel list. I wonder if that indicates something? :-) Statistics Nov 15 May 15 Oct 15 Nov 1 ========== ====== ====== ====== ===== Lifetime Rank on SourceForge: 4391 1028 687 684 (68.5%) (92.7%) (95.2%) (95.2%) Max Week's Rank on SourceForge: 62 36 124 62 (99.6%) (99.8%) (99.3%) (99%) Total SF Page Views * 475,000 1,339,114 1,487,659 Total SF Downloads * 27,400 63,869 69,078 Total Freshmeat URL Hits 746 * 11,465 11,849 Total Freshmeat Subscriptions 16 74 124 125 Lines of Code in src/: 115,901 189,116 303,783 306,602 Code lines 147,471 216,027 217,198 Comment line 16,757 52,421 53,262 Blank 25,886 41,872 42,699 Lines of Docs in doc/: 1,135 4,544 16,841 16,841 Lines of content in website: 1,173 6,008 7,840 8,121 Size of the Inkscape wiki: 3,700 18,638 22,459 18,977 Bugs open/total: 9/15 57/365 135/653 104/683 Features open/total: 18/18 183/238 263/406 279/426 Patches open/total: 1/ 6 4/ 83 7/126 7/130 CVS Commits (as per inkscape-cvs): 481 3391 7,860 8,279 Inkscape-devel membership: 49 78 109 108 Inkscape-announce membership: 9 43 98 113 Inkscape-user membership: 71 138 144 Num Translations : 33 33 Ave Translation Ratio: 35.0% 38.5 * - Statistics unavailable

typos, but this time in source code
by Arpad Biro 31 Oct '04

Hi, The current CVS does not compile, possibly because of #include "extenstion/extension.h" lines in src/extension/init.cpp and src/extension/system.cpp. Arpad Biro __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

one gradient for multiple objects
by David Christian Berg 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

When you want multiple objects to have the same userpace gradient you have to group them now (was already this way in the build I had from cvs in mid october). That sucks, since maybe you don't want to group them because there are objects between them (z-order wise). Now, I think the problem is that for each object there is a new gradient created on switching to gradient from solid. Therefore right after the switch you have two objects with two different gradients selected and hence can't edit the gradient(s).
