Files in SF
by Ted Gould 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

Okay, SF was up for a few minutes, and I seem to have gotten files into it. I've also updated the front page to link there. Here's the link: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=991… Also, I'm not sure that I did the whole GPG thing right. I just did a 'gpg -s tarball' and it made the .gpg file. But I thought it would have been smaller. Does this seem right? --Ted

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Strange bug in Windows build?

>>Thanks, that helps. It would be even better if you could send a couple of >>"before" and "after" files that are only different by the offending >>convert to path operation, > >Here are the before and after svg's. The original has a 100.0x100.0 square. Thanks - now that I see it, I think this is actually a known bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=857311&group_id=93… The reason being that your Windows (Icelandic?) seems to use comma instead of period for fractional numbers (e.g. 927,38287 instead of 927.38287), and this drives Inkscape crazy. We'll need to focus on this bug, among others, for the next bug-fixing release. Please attach your before and after examples with comments to that bug, they may be helpful. As a temporary workaround, you can change the number format in your Windows settings - please let me know if this helps. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

0.37 Release Tarball
by Bryce Harrington 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

Hi all, Ted has tagged and cut the tarball for the 0.37 release. At this time we're asking for packagers to download and produce the packages according to the instructions on the CreatingDists page in Wiki. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CreatingDists Since SF is down, we've uploaded the tarball to the website temporarily: http://www.inkscape.org/inkscape-0.37.tar.gz Make sure to follow the naming scheme when making your packages, and then upload them to SourceForge's file manager, or post them someplace convenient and point me, nathan, ted, or one of the other SF admins at them to pick up.

>The thing is that if I use the freehand tool ( or any other tool than the >predefined shapes ), as soon as I release the mouse button the shape >literally goes haywire, that is, it becomes a big spindly mess. Never seen anything like it. The important questions is, do the actual nodes of the path become displaced to (0, -infinity), or is it only a rendering problem while the nodes are where they need to be? Can you save such a broken file? If so, is it displayed broken when you reopen it in the win build? or in linux build? If the saved SVG really becomes broken, please send it to me (and file a bug attaching your screenshots and the broken SVG). Otherwise this problem may be hard to solve because it will have to do with the renderer which is much more difficult to debug. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms…

RE: [Inkscape-devel] Possibility of tutorial translation

>May be it is reasonable to add gettext function to sp_help_tutorial: > >sp_help_tutorial (void) >{ > sp_file_open (INKSCAPE_PIXMAPDIR _("/tutorial.svg"), NULL); > >Then it will be possible to support translations of tutorial. Good idea, I'll do that. If you can provide a translation of the tutorial that would be even better :) _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

accelerated scrolling
by bulia byak 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

The tutorial and keys reference look nice but are a pain in the ass to scroll, especially in zoom-in. Until today. * Previously, Inkscape canvas tended to "stick" after mouse release when you were panning a complex document by middle mouse button. This is now fixed. * Accelerated scrolling: if you press and hold Ctrl+arrow to scroll canvas, Inkscape will gradually speed up scrolling. This makes navigating in complex documents much faster, without losing precision. The power of this acceleration is given by the pref value options.scrollingacceleration. I set it to 2 by default; please test and report which value works best for you (edit your ~/.inkscape/preferences.xml). The value of 1 means no acceleration, but even at 1 it still scrolls faster than before because it gobbles sequences of keypresses and, for n key events, will scroll once by scroll_step*n instead of scrolling n times by scroll_step. I plan to apply the same acceleration approach to areas other than scrolling, such as zooming and nudging by keyboard. I will also fix sticking after mouse release in dragging objects and nodes, freehand drawing, etc. Suggestions welcome. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Remaining Tasks for 0.37 Release
by Bryce Harrington 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

Here's the specific things to do before the feature freeze: * Review #if 0 code in bonobo/ * Review #if 0 code in desktop*.cpp and svg-view.cpp files [ted] * Review #if 0 code in sp-gradient.cpp, sp-root.cpp [tvon] * Review #if 0 code in file.h, interface.cpp, geom.cpp, inkscape.cpp, and style.cpp [ishmal] * Review #if 0 code in *-chemistry.cpp and seltrans.cpp [pjrm] * Review #if 0 code in svg/ * Review #if 0 code in display/ [mental] * Review #if 0 code in xml/ * Convert all tabs into spaces in codebase * Rename all 'SPFooBar' routines to 'FooBar' and put into namespaces [mental] * Update coding-style.txt from the Coding_Style page in wiki When all of these are done, we will feature-freeze, and the focus will be on bug fixing. There are 10 bugs rated critical, that will need fixing. 5 of these do not yet have an owner so we need volunteers to take care of them. We also need to review the lower priority bugs to see if there are additional critical ones that will need fixing. Once the critical bugs are fixed, we will establish the stable branch for 0.37 and the release team can get to work on packaging and creation of binaries. Once we have binaries for Windows, OSX, and a couple common linux distros, we can begin sending out announcements. :-) Bryce
