there have been a number of changes made in lib2geom in the last 4 months or so, would this be a good time to sync again?

Board resignation
by Johan Engelen 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

Hello all, A few days ago, I resigned my position on the board. Because of my very low activity (last commit was 3 months ago) and decreased interest in the project, it was time for me to leave the board and make room for someone with fresh energy. There will be an election held to find a replacement board member. Think about whether you'd be interested in having a seat on the board, or who you think should apply for candidacy! There are excellent candidates in our community that deserve to be member of the board. cheers, Johan

Hackfest and LGM Toronto April 26th through May 2nd.
by Tavmjong Bah 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hi, I will be coordinating our hackfest and the LGM event in Toronto at the end of April and beginning of May. I've prepared a Wiki page with a list of who is attending along with some travel information. I would like to encourage everyone in the Inkscape community to attend these events. We still have unallocated travel funds available. It is not necessary to be attending both events. Send an email to Bryce if you wish to attend. The funds are on a first come/first served basis. The Wiki page is at: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2015_Attendees Tav

Website: New 'About SVG' page
by Maren Hachmann 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hi again, there's another page which could also profit from your feedback: http://staging.inkscape.org/en/develop/about-svg/ I'd especially like to know if I understood the 'policy' related things correctly and if you have a link to add to the link section. Tav already helped by providing some keywords and some hints, but I'd like to know if I got it right before the page is published ;) Currently, links are not yet working, this will happen only after the page is moved to the 'real' website. Thank you, again ;) Regards, Maren

Website Back Online
by Martin Owens 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Dear Developers At 19:17 UTC (15:17 EST) the website went down. This was caused by the failure of the mysql database server at py1.osuosl.org All web pages received a 502 error. At 20:18 UTC (16:18 EST) I noticed the error and restored a backup to a slower local sqlite database. You may have noticed login failures at this time and a lack of download files. A ticket was filed with osuosl. At 21:27 UTC (17:27 EST) osuosl responded via irc that the database machine was back up. Together pwnguin and I worked on restoring mysql functionality. At 22:05 UTC (18:05 EST) the website was back online with a few of the issues found reported in a bug report for later. If you see any more errors, I should be getting emails after the 7k initial emails clear my local email client. I will get to them. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Website: "The next release" page
by Maren Hachmann 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hi everyone, I need your help to update the "The next Release" page on our website. After receiving confirmation from Bryce, I've already cleaned it out and added a little intro text for 0.92: https://inkscape.org/en/develop/next-release/ . suv kindly provided me with a tentative list for the most important changes which will (probably) find their way into 0.92. I would like to ask you to help me sort through this list, and make additions, so the two sections in the lower part of the page can be filled again. Only important features / bug fixes should go there, and only those which are quite certainly going to be in 0.92 (page will be translated, and hopefully won't need to be changed too often). Some are also mentioned on the Wiki page for 0.92 here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92 (google cache can be used until it's up again). This is the list I got from suv: (and can someone explain what 'Selection sets' are? Something like a group without grouping, even over different layers?) Inkscape 0.92 ============= New features: * Units: internal resolution switched to 96dpi * Templates: cleanup, new procedural templates * Objects dialog * Selection sets * New patheffects (see release notes) * Mesh gradient tool * SVG 2 features: e.g. for markers ('auto-start-reverse', 'context-stroke', 'context-fill') (ask Tav what else is new in trunk i.e. not already in 0.91) * ... New features in progress (branches not merged yet): * Enhanced mirror and rotate_copies patheffects * New transform_by_two_points patheffect * Flatten overlapping and clipped objects (useful for plotting or PostScript export) * ... Notable bug fixes: * correct handling of parent transforms (on groups, layers) for clones * improved performance for (de-)selecting a large number of nodes * EMF/WMF fixes (clipping, text position) * fixes for rendering caching * ... Details from the bug tracker: ============================= https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+milestone/0.92 Longstanding bugs fixed with milestone 0.92: Bug #168651 "Tiled Clones" inside transformed groups broken Bug #510433 value of pixel is incorrect according to CSS2+errata (dpi switch 90->96) Bug #469885 Tiled Clones / Trace: Apply to Size skews resulting clone grid Bug #653574 Ungrouping moves clones inside nested groups Bug #772057 Inconsistent handling of parent transforms or 'viewBox' attribute in text tool controls Bug #918319 Printing offsets page (Windows) Bug #1152657 Paste selection with original+clone(s): Wrong placement between original and clones Bug #1245339 When changing a clone's parent's layer, the clones shift position Closed wishlist reports with milestone 0.92: Bug #170149 Node fillet / chamfer tools Bug #171660 B-Spline editing Bug #505180 Interactive freehand line smoothing New regressions in 0.91 fixed with milestone 0.92: Bug #1417752 'Find & Replace' ignores 'Flowed text' objects Bug #1426090 shape draw with "hand free line" disappear when combined Bug #1419122 "resize page to selection" broken in 0.91 with width="100%", height="100%" Fixes for new features in 0.91 with milestone 0.92: Bug #1409195 Inconsistent selection with 'Select same' on object with clones Bug #1425317, #1419926, #1405292: EMF/WMF import/export fixes Planned backports for 0.91.1 (bug-fix release): =============================================== https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bugs?field.tag=backport-proposed Thank you! Regards, Maren
