Units in LivePathEffects
by Johan Engelen 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hi Jabier, I just discovered that you added a "default unit" to LivePathEffect::Effect class. Unfortunately, we will have to remove that, or at least make a drastic change there. A LivePathEffect is meant to be a purely mathematical function, that depends as little as possible on the rest of Inkscape. To work with units, one would have to know the full item2document transform times the SVG units used, and use that in the effect calculation. I'm really not sure if we should do this. What the code is doing now is wrong if an item has a transform applied to it. regards, Johan

C++11 for Experimental Branch?
by Tavmjong Bah 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Hi, I noticed a bunch of 'for' loops in Liam's code and that got me wondering about using C++11 in the experimental branch as 'auto' is so much nicer that "std::map<SPDocument*,int>::iterator iter". When can we start using C++11? I noticed that http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/C%2B%2B11 only shows results for one Window's compiler. Is there a test program we can run? Fedora 20 is using GCC 4.8 and clang 3.4; both support 'auto' (GCC since 4.4). Tav

Windows: 64bit GTK3 buildfile
by Johan Engelen 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Hi all Windows devs, If you're interested in testing and helping with moving Inkscape towards GTK3: I just committed build-x64-gtk3.xml that you can use to build Inkscape on Windows with GTK3. btool -file build-x64-gtk3.xml This works for me using the latest devlibs. Let us know if you have problems. Your help is very much appreciated. cheers, Johan

Website Menus
by Martin Owens 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Dear Website Users, Some of you may have experienced the menu explosion bug that the website has come down with. I've put in place a fix for both javascript (so it won't cause an infinite loop) and for the menus themselves which were getting progressively worse as the caches refreshed. Please test and don't hesitate to make a bug[1] if you notice anything wrong. Best Regards, Martin Owens [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web

0.91 Blockers
by Josh Andler 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

This is to follow up on Bryce's earlier Hard Freeze announcement to bring attention to our blockers once more. https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=21423field… #384688 - Long Standing Bug. Offset on text objects causes rendering/geometry artifacts. Pretty nasty and very easy to run into... I know I personally have a handful of files affected by it. Would really be nice to get fixed, but if it were the last blocker it should be re-milestoned. #953992 - Regression. Imported pattern disappears on transform. This is a renderer regression which is why it's marked as a blocker. It is still an issue in 0.91.x but is no longer affecting trunk. Is anybody interested looking into backporting this? If not, we're fine to bump the milestone forward since 0.92 will have it resolved. #1245989 - Regression. Canvas ends up 1x1px on certain documents. This is a weird issue and also affects XAML import (1235809). However, Inkscape can't directly produce files with this issue w/o the XML Editor being used. Apparently we used to create an A4 canvas in these situations, now it's 1x1 px (happened with templates due to the units refactoring). Logically, doing it to drawing size would be the best "fix" (I agree with comment #5 in 1235809). #1387864 - Regression. THE BIG BLOCKER is the one on document units. Tavmjong posted to the list about this with the subject of "Hard Freeze for 0.91: Inkscape Units". At this point there appears to be two obvious paths forward, 1) Possibly reverting back to the old superficial behavior when switching "Default units" (Tav's question at the end of his message pertained to this), or 2) hide/remove the "Default units widget" for 0.91 and potentially make Inkscape unusable to a sizable portion of our userbase. Obviously 1 is ideal, but we're left with the question of how feasible it is to get back that functionality in a way we're reasonably confident won't break 0.91 so close to release. Cheers, Josh

2Geom automated testing + doxygen
by Johan Engelen 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi all, I've set up 2Geom automated builds, testing, and doxygen on Inkscape's Jenkins server. http://jenkins.inkscape.org:8080/ What I find pretty cool is that we now also have a trunk up-to-date version of our documentation: http://jenkins.inkscape.org:8080/job/2Geom_trunk_doxygen/doxygen/index.html This should make us more aware of the fact that we actually have a number of tests failing........!!! cheers, Johan

Translation update, POT date out of sync, how do I fix?
by Christoffer Holmstedt 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

hmm. I've been working on a Swedish translation since a few weeks back and I just tried my translation against trunk and it was committed nicely. (POT date the same) [1]. When I now committed it to 0.91 [2] it seems like POT date was out of sync. ### How do I set up a proper workflow to not end up in this situation? With Git I would have just kept the different branches as they are and created a translation branch (like a hotfix branch in the git-flow mindset) that I could merge into the others when I felt it was ready, but I have no idea how to do this with Bazaar. ### Revert current revision (0.91 branch, revision 13646, [2]) As my experience with Bazaar is limited I don't want to revert, which can go terrible wrong. Anyone else that knows how-to can just remove revision 13646 from 0.91 and I will make a new commit on Wednesday.
