Hi, First of all, congratulations for the hackfest event results! This email is just a reminder of the UI meeting we have tomorrow at LGM. If I'm not wrong, we have a meeting room booked between parallel sessions, around 1PM? Could CR confirm it? See you tomorrow. Xavi

Hackfest 2016: Discussions Summary
by Tavmjong Bah 16 Apr '16

16 Apr '16

Hi, The Hackfest was a great success. We got about 70 patches in to the code base. Highlights include fixing the GTK3 flickering bug and getting CMake to work on Windows. While most of our time was spent on hacking, we did take some time to discuss various issues. Here is a summary of those discussions. Tav Hackfest 2016 Discussions Summary ================================ Infrastructure: -------------- Git/CI: Consensus is that moving to git soon is a good idea. Benefits: 1. More familiar to outside developers. 2. Bazaar not being actively developed. 3. Easy to separate out libraries as submodules. Krzysztof has prepared a cheat-sheet http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Git Libraries that can be turned in to submodules: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Embedded_libraries lib2geom can be made into a submodule first, removing duplicate code. Krzysztof will provide documentation on how to make sublibraries. We recommend moving to GitHub for CI integration. CI (Continuous integration) Consensus is to go with GitHub. This is the most maintainable option with our limited developer resources. Mailing Lists Consensus is to move to a server at OSUOL after server with Mailman3 is available. Mailman3 is a significant improvement over Mailman2. Martin has volunteered that Inkscape is willing to install Mailman3 for OSUOL. (OSUOL has said that it is a low priority project for them and it could be one and a half years before they get to it.) Code ---- C++11 Consensus is to require C++11 after 0.92 released. Developers will be able to use C++11 features. GTK3 GTK3 offers significant improvements in support for OSX and Windows. Consensus is to switch default compilation to GTK3 after 0.92 to get more eyes looking at the problems. Most, if not all, dialogs will need to be tweaked. Then remove GTK2 after the 0.93 release (we have 700 #ifdef's to switch between the two builds). CMake The CMake build system is getting very close to being ready. We can now compile and link Inkscape on Windows using CMake. A lot of work was done at the hackfest (and at LGM). Having a good CMake build is the only hard requirement for 0.92. Roadmap ------- Krzysztof has volunteered to update the roadmap with the things we discussed during the hackfest (CMake, C++11, GTK3, etc.). Community --------- Fund-raising We discussed various options such as using patreon.com, snowdrift.coop, flattr.com. CR will do a detailed investigation of the options. Paid Development We are basically waiting on the website before we can start using our paid development model.

Website access in China - Fix applied
by Martin Owens 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Dear Inkscape Users and Developers, After a lot of backwards and forwards between osuosl and fastly.net we have put in place a solution for our website's access in China. The problem was that our chinese visitors would be able to get the website, but not any of the media (or downloads) because of their great firewall. The solution was a CNAME from media.inkscape.org to fastly and some special dns configuration which I barely understand to solve the issue with access to fastly caches. (I copied and pasted what people said in two tickets and acted as a manual ticket express for the professionals) This solution is now live and I invite people in China to test the website and please report back if they can see any issues. (and also if they would like to translate pages) :-) Best Regards, Martin Owens

About build of inkscape 0.91+devel
by Jseb Tarot 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

The very recent pull "bzr pull" at the linking step are a error. (i use cmake for building) CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/display/cairo-utils.cpp.o: undefined reference to symbol 'gdk_pixbuf_get_height' the problem come from link.txt you need add " -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 " from directory inkscape/src/CMakeFiles/inkscape.dir/ and are the same with inkscape/src/CMakeFiles/inkview.dir/link.txt after inkscpae compile and inkscape run properly ;) Regard JsT

0.91 performance when zoomed in
by Saar Drimer 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hello everyone, I work with Inkscape nearly every day, but am now experiencing some painfully slow performance with some files (that I cannot share right now, sorry!) I'm working with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on Ubuntu 15.10 with an i7-5500 and 16GB of RAM. The designs are not particularly complex, but have one feature that might be relevant: I'm working with dimension accurate objects that can be very small, 0.1mm and below (I design printed circuit boards). The slowness becomes painful when zoomed in onto the small objects; it happens when I try zooming, choosing objects, moving them, and even changing tools from 'node' to 'select'. nearly every such operation I get the greyed-out Ubuntu stall. Working on the design when zoomed out is not practical, but it is quite a bit faster performing. Another thing that's happening that could be related is the following prompts keep appearing on the console: (inkscape:15569): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_font_family_list_faces: assertion 'PANGO_IS_FONT_FAMILY (family)' failed (inkscape:15569): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell: assertion 'tree_view->priv->tree != NULL' failed I could not find any report for how to handle these, and discover if they are related to the performance problems. Searching for a solution through looking at bug reports, I've tried: * Running with fresh preferences.xml * Geometric bounding box * Reducing the complexity of the design * Hiding layers (there are 24 layers) to only ones that are relevant for the operation (usually only two layers) * Hiding rulers and scroll-bars * Maximising memory and threads (with restart) I'm out of ideas, and I hope that someone might be able to recommend something. If there are no ideas, I'll work on a design that I can share so that we could work though it. Thanks, Saar.
