Roadmapping for 0.39-0.50
by Bryce Harrington 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

Hi all, This weekend we're going to try to flesh out the roadmap for the next dozen releases or so. Not to cast anything in stone but simply to identify what we'll need to implement when, and to outline priorities. In the old roadmap we had identified 0.39 for implementing Extensions, however that presupposed we'd be further along in terms of identifying an internal API to hook them to, and having some conceptual/design documentation. Instead, we're thinking of pushing that forward, and let the focus of 0.39 be the incorporation of the AST and ECMA work, that has been going on in two branches. As well, we'll finally pull in GtkMM and start work on converting code to use that, including a layers dialog. We also need to determine the internal API for hooking extensions, etc. to, since that's a major dependency for Extensions. So in general 0.39 would be a much more development focused release, and we'll encourage deep work on internals that we've discouraged previously due to stability concerns. We will advertise 0.39 as more of an experimental release and encourage users needing a high level of stability to stick with 0.38. How does this approach sound? Bryce P.S. If you're interested in giving feedback to the roadmap including longer term goals, join us on Jabber as we continue revising it. We'll update the high level roadmap on the main website as we go this weekend, and flesh out the detailed roadmap in wiki later on.

win crashes
by bulia byak 06 Apr '04

Fred, simarilius@...36... managed to get debug info for his win32 crashes. Here it is: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Annoying_Crash First is the backtrace of today's build with bpath_liv on, crashed when drawing freehand. Then bpath_liv was turned off, which cured freehand, but node tool still crashed (see second backtrace down the page). Please contact him directly for more info, or join the inkscape jabber (we are there now). _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

When I change stroke-style to a dotted line and the change stroke-offset. The stroke becomes crazy. This happens on nightly Win32 snapshots. Can someone confirm this behavour?

wonderful icons

I really like the new button and menu icons. They're very nice to look at, and they're very functionally clear. Just thought I'd mention that while I'm trying to crash the current CVS. :) -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

The last big patch (thanks Adib!) is in, and we're in deep freeze intending to release in the coming days. Please everyone try to do as much testing, tweaking, abusing Inkscape as possible. There may still be crashes lurking in the woods - catch them and display proudly. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

>Win32 2000. autobuild 1 April. > >The save as command is not adding SVG extension to files. This has happened >in the past and was quickly fixed. Today it's the first day ever that Inkscape can auto add extensions at all, so I'm not sure about how this could happen in the past. There's now a checkbox for this in the Save/Save as dialog - is it on? _________________________________________________________________ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

>I am still getting the "GdkPixbuf - Critical" line 59. message frequently >when I open files. The file seems to have a bitmap in it. Does it happen for files with bitmaps only, or for any other files, or during Inkscape startup? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfee� Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…
