Removal of GTK+ 2 support in Inkscape trunk
by Alex Valavanis 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Summary: Removal of GTK+ 2 support in Inkscape trunk is proposed for w/c 2016-08-01. Comments and questions are very welcome. Dear All, We are planning to remove support for GTK+ 2 in Inkscape trunk. A full statement of the reasons and the implementation plans is given on this wiki page: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Notice_of_removal_of_GTK%2B_2_suppo… Please note that under this proposal, the forthcoming Inkscape 0.92 release *will* still use GTK+ 2, but all future releases will require GTK+ 3. As of now, development of the forthcoming Inkscape 0.92 release has been moved to the new lp:inkscape/0.92.x branch on Launchpad. You can grab a copy using: bzr branch lp:inkscape/0.92.x Please prioritise your efforts here on fixing any remaining "blocker" bugs, as listed at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bugs?field.tag=blocker The main Inkscape Trunk branch (lp:inkscape) will, from now on, be used for future releases (>= 0.93). If you wish to work on the code here, you will need to have the GTK+ 3 development libraries (and GTKmm, GDK+ 3 etc) available on your system. This is a major change, and the migration will inevitably cause some difficulties. However, the consensus among active developers is that the current situation of supporting both GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3 is unmanageable. I am proposing that we implement the GTK+ 3 dependency in trunk next week (w/c 1 August, 2016). Any comments or questions are very welcome before we go ahead. Best wishes, Alex

0.92 release branch
by Krzysztof Kosiński 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

Hello everyone, I made a branch for the 0.92 release under lp:inkscape/0.92.x. Currently the only change in this branch is the reversion of the SPCanvas widget changes that were causing performance regressions on some platforms. After 0.92, the following large changes are expected: - C++11 mode will be enabled. C++98 compilers will no longer be supported. - Autotools and btool build systems will be removed in favor of CMake. - Inkscape will be based on GTK3. GTK2 support will be removed. - At some point, code will be migrated to GitHub, to take advantage of automatic continuous integration with TravisCI. The bug tracker and answer tracker is expected to remain on Launchpad for the foreseeable future. Best regards, Krzysztof

Building on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
by Alex Valavanis 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

Hi All, Thought you might be interested to know that I've successfully built and run Inkscape on the new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in Windows 10 Insider Preview. This is a real boost to my workflow and I'd recommend it to anyone else who likes to develop on Linux, but uses Windows for their day job. It's pretty easy... just install WSL [1] and then you'll have a native Ubuntu shell that you can use on your Windows desktop. You can then set up a Linux build in the shell as normal. Note that you'll also need to install XMing if you want to run the Inkscape GUI. AV [1] http://www.howtogeek.com/249966/how-to-install-and-use-the-linux-bash-shell…

Link properties dialogue missing on pre-build for OSX
by ugajin 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

Recently, I needed to include an anchor element in a document that was being authored using Inkscape. The difficulty after creating the link wrapper, was locating the Link Properties dialogue. In fact, I am unable to find it, and I do not believe I have it. I have the contextual menu option on right clicking on the anchor element, but no dialogue. :( Q1. Is this behaviour particular to pre-build OS X versions of Inkscape, only? Q2. Should I report this as a bug? Thanks. -u

Request for Comments on an Idea - Rendering Tests
by Shlomi Fish 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Hi all! Do you think it would be a good idea to make Inkscape's test suite more comprehensive by making sure some (= as many as we can) input SVGs result in the same bitmap images after being rendered by --export-png? It won't be too hard to implement, and may prevent regressions.

Windows build new (for me) warnings
by mathog 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Hi all, I have not built Inkscape on Windows in a while, so today updated devlibs and Inkscape, tossed the build directory, and ran btool. It is running along OK at the moment, but several of these have gone by: STDERR: In file included from c:\progs\devlibs63/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_map_adapter.hpp:19:0, from c:\progs\devlibs63/include/boost/ptr_container/ptr_map.hpp:20, from src/ui/tools/node-tool.h:14, from src/selection-chemistry.cpp:117: c:\progs\devlibs63/include/boost/ptr_container/detail/map_iterator.hpp:52:48: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type [-Wignored-qualifiers] What is causing these? Is this something being picky, or a real problem? Also, the Windows build page now says that cmake is the tool of choice and that btool is deprecated. Does it make any difference which version of cmake is used? Thanks, David Mathog mathog@...1176... Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

Fw: CMake now working on Windows

Forwarding another message. Begin forwarded message: Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2016 19:08:06 +0200 From: Sebastian Faubel <sebastian@...3248...> To: Shlomi Fish <shlomif@...2985...> Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] CMake now working on Windows Hi guys, figured out that it was my anti-virus blocking the creation of the file. The attached patch actually works in a different directory. It provides the inkscape.com binary and the missing license texts in the install directory. The build output should now be feature-equal to btool. ~seb *Semiodesk GmbH | *Werner-von-Siemens-Str. 6 Geb. 15k, 86159 Augsburg, Germany | Phone: +49 821 8854401 | Fax: +49 821 8854410 | www.semiodesk.com This e-mail message may contain confidential or legally privileged information and is intended only for the use of the intended recipient(s).
