Nondestructive booleans
by Miguel Lopez 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

I'm not a expert in earlier Inkscape version as I have no experience in those, but I have heard about earlier Inkscape supporting nondestructive booleans. Did it? Is there anybody looking to restore this? I would find it interesting because that opens up to a lot more possibilities in SVG editing. What about earlier features that some Inkscape users use, but they aren't found in Inkscape .92.

Hi Rohit, welcome :) I'm not sure if maybe you've already received a reply via other channels, but just in case you haven't, I'm forwarding your message to the developers' mailing list, and will try to give some small kind of reply. A good (and only recently updated) source for getting started with Inkscape's website development is http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite The bug reports for the website currently live on launchpad [1] and on gitlab in parallel. If you haven't yet, and Bryce or Martin haven't already given you another 'starter task' or have one in mind, you could browse around and look if one of them catches your interest. @Bryce or Martin, I think you've both volunteered to be a GSOC mentor, maybe you already have some task in mind for GSOC students pre-application phase?

What are your development plans for 0.93?
by Bryce Harrington 25 Feb '17

25 Feb '17

I've marked off the 0.92 items that were done from the Roadmap. A few things weren't finished and I've bumped them forward to 0.93. Some stuff I'm not certain of; if anyone else knows please update accordingly. The 0.93 list of objectives looks more ambitious than I suspect the project can achieve within the coming year, and should be realigned to better forecast what's likely to be done. A few items from the 0.93 roadmap are already under way: * Gtk3 & drop Gtk2 * Git & drop bzr * CMake & drop autotools/btools/etc. * C++11 compiler hard requirement I think we could safely add: * OS X native packaging What else could be considered to be added? These I'm not so sure about, and might be candidates to postpone, if no one is looking at working on them presently: * Flip y-cooridinate to match SVG * Dependency reorg * Unit test framework and major test case expansion * Windows uninstaller * New Swatch dialog Thoughts on the above? Or any other Roadmap modifications that should be discussed? Bryce

Fwd: What are your development plans for 0.93?
by Vladimir Savic 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

After using that patch for all my work for about a month, there are some things I have to add. It improves Inkscape a lot, A LOOOT, I mean! Yale has already stated where it fails to deliver improvements (high zoom level of blur), but there is no way to improve that with vectorization anyway. The only bug I've seen on my system is that color related operations sometimes get messed up. For example color picker picks wrong color from canvas and imported bitmap's colors are wrong sometimes, but not always. I can investigate that further for you, Yale. Although, no idea if that has anything to do with your work only or it is your improvement interfering with ongoing inclusion of Styles dialog. Yale, we should definitively make a small and amateurish video presentation. ;) Vlada P.S. I've sent this mail accidentally to Jabier only. Sorry about it. Forwarded to list...

Inkscape 0.92 review in German
by "Christoph Schäfer" 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi guys, I've published a review of Inkscape 0.92 in the Swiss "Publisher" magazine (http://publisher.ch/fachzeitschrift_detail.php?t=Zwischen%2Ballen%2BSt%25C3…). While I did my best to highlight the major improvements, the overall judgement was: "half-baked" and largely negative. I'm sorry for that, but I hope you get your act together soon. And please add adequate PDF export for print workflows and also make sure that Inkscape SVGs can be used and displayed universally. This is more important than new design features, because Inkscape is already one of the most feature-rich vector programmes. Best, Christoph

Hi All, I've added a new template to the wiki for linking to Launchpad bugs. See: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Template:Bug Basically, you can just do something like: {{bug | id = 123456 | status = triaged}} to generate a color-coded link to the relevant Launchpad page. AV

Hi, Which Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is most suitable in Windows operating systems for Inkscape from following: 1) Eclipse Name: (ie. Neon) Version: ? 2) Microsoft Visual Studio with VisualGDB Version: ?2) Microsoft Visual Studio with WinGDB Version: ? Please guide me..1) How to decrease compilation time? 2) Is there any automated Tools? which is most suitable? Please give detail steps to configuring development environment in windows for coding and debugging. Note: I have already generated Executable using following commands: >cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. & >mingw32-make -j 2>mingw32-make install but which IDE is most suitable for Inkscape. Thank you, Niraj Dave

Inkscape 0.92.1pre1 macOS test build
by Tim Sheridan 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi all, I've been working on getting the macOS packaging for the 0.92.x working again. The branch is here: https://code.launchpad.net/~tghs/inkscape/0.92.x_mac_packaging I've put a 10.7/i386 test build up for people to try at: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/10660/Inkscape-0.92.1pre1-tghs_0-x11-1… Build info is on the file information page: https://inkscape.org/en/~tghs/★inkscape-0921pre1-tghs_0-x11-107-i386dmg As with the old official 0.91 release, this is an X11 build so you'll need XQuartz installed. Since it's not yet merged, please report any issues encountered in this thread, or to me directly. Known issues: * App not signed (probably wontfix for 0.92 as users put up with it for 0.91, but worth looking at for 0.93) * Built without poppler (need to check whether old releases included it) * Toolbar icons getting cropped slightly on the edges (not a blocker IMO, but would be nice to fix) Cheers, Tim

0.92.2 plan
by Bryce Harrington 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

With 0.92.1 now finished, the 0.92.x branch is reopened for targeted bugfixes, and it's time to look forward to 0.92.2. There are a few other activities that were gated on 0.92.1 which will be proceeding in parallel, most notably of which is the git migration plan, which is hard to guess how long it'll require. I figure since that's obviously going to be disruptive that we focus on completing that before initiating the 0.92.2 release. So exact dates are going to be infeasible, but to establish some basic mileposts: 0.92.1 Now Feature Freeze 0.92.2pre0 TBD Hard Freeze + String Freeze 0.92.2pre1 +2 weeks Release Candidate 0.92.2 +1 week Cut Release I am guestimating earliest we might see 0.92.2 would be late April / early May, but depending on how things go could be more of the May/June timeframe. == 0.92.2 Development Goals == 1. The replacement for DPI dialog is a top goal for 0.92.2. The wording of the dialog in particular needs review, but much of the implementation work is solid and just needs to be landed and tested. Translation of this to other languages is also quite important, and should receive special attention. A 2 week period is scheduled post-String Freeze in particular to help ensure translators have adequate time for this dialog. 2. A GPLv3 widget needs to be removed (or relicensed) to allow Inkscape to return to being covered as GPLv2. While I'd love to see this undertaken for 0.92.2, but if it isn't it doesn't need to hold up the release. Beyond this, changes that fix bugs or address user reported problems are welcome. Please try to keep patches minimal so they're easy to review, and avoid doing refactoring work. Larger works such as new user interface pieces, should be done on branches, proposed for review, and tested thoroughly on trunk before landing on 0.92.x. If you have any doubts over the appropriateness of a particular large change, please feel free to run it by me first. Provide detailed descriptions in your commit messages, including ref to bug #'s and an explanation of the user-visible problem that the patch fixes. This helps testers isolate regressions and assists in creating the release notes.
