Crash during Build - invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘SPCurve’

Dear Maintainers, after pulling revision 5448704355e03a97d2838e1ba30272db335f0dbb I try to build inkscape according to https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/ but I receive the following error: In file included from /usr/include/c++/7/memory:80:0, from /vol/pub/inkscape/linux/git/inkscape/src/document.h:25, from /vol/pub/inkscape/linux/git/inkscape/src/object/sp-use.cpp:27: /usr/include/c++/7/bits/unique_ptr.h: In instantiation of ‘void std::default_delete<_Tp>::operator()(_Tp*) const [with _Tp = SPCurve]’: /usr/include/c++/7/bits/unique_ptr.h:263:17: required from ‘std::unique_ptr<_Tp, _Dp>::~unique_ptr() [with _Tp = SPCurve; _Dp = std::default_delete<SPCurve>]’ /vol/pub/inkscape/linux/git/inkscape/src/object/sp-use-reference.h:45:50: required from here /usr/include/c++/7/bits/unique_ptr.h:76:22: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘SPCurve’ static_assert(sizeof(_Tp)>0, ^ My questions: - are there simple means to avoid that error? - what information about my building environment is required? BTW: I am trying to build Inkscape because the AppImage crashes. Thanks and best regards Torsten -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Torsten Finke fi(a)igh.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inkscape 1.1 released
by Marc Jeanmougin 25 May '21

25 May '21

================ = Inkscape 1.1 = ================ Inkscape version 1.1 is now released. ---------------- You can watch our showcase at: https://inkscape.org/release-video-1-1/ and download it for your platform on: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.1/ then, if you want to support Inkscape, donate to the project at https://inkscape.org/support-us/ ---------------- Inkscape 1.1 is the latest major release of Inkscape, following one year of development after the 1.0 major release. The highlights of this release are: * A Welcome dialog, where the look of Inkscape can be selected, and some choices for the new document's size or file to open are available * A Command palette that opens when the '?' key is pressed, that allows to search and use many functions without having to use a keyboard shortcut or going through the menus * It is now possible to copy, cut and paste parts of paths with the Node tool * The dialog docking system has been rewritten, which resolves many issues with Inkscape's docked dialogs and allows you to dock dialogs on either side of the screen * New Outline Overlay mode that displays object outlines while also showing their real colors * Preferences options are now easier to find by using the new search field * It is no longer necessary to remember to click on 'Export' in the PNG Export dialog, as the exporting will already happen after the click on 'Save' in the file selection dialog. * Export as JPG, TIFF, optimized PNG and WebP directly from Inkscape * When pasting a copied object, Inkscape now pastes it directly on top of the currently selected object by default * An extension for updating extensions and installing additional extensions, called the Extension Manager (currently in beta stage) We also introduced a long list of new features outlined in detail and illustrated at https://media.inkscape.org/media/doc/release_notes/1.1/Inkscape_1.1.html . ----------------------------- Join an Inkscape project team ----------------------------- Inkscape is always happy to welcome new contributors in various areas: code[1], translation[2], UX[3], bug triaging[4], or even outreach[5]! The main ways to get involved are listed on https://inkscape.org/contribute/ The preferred points of contact are: [1] https://lists.inkscape.org/postorius/lists/inkscape-devel.lists.inkscape.or… + https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel (or freenode/#inkscape-devel) [2] https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_translation [3] https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_ux [4] https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/bug_migration [5] https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_vectors A warm thanks to everyone involved in making this release possible! -- The Inkscape team

New dependency for Inkscape 1.2: python3-cssselect
by Jonathan Neuhauser 15 May '21

15 May '21

Dear all, Over the past week, I've implemented CSS support in the extensions repository. This means that if an extension asks what color an object is, it will get the correct answer regardless of where the style is defined, if it is overwritten or !important or defined by a shorthand somewhere in the cascade. It also introduces default values for common attributes as well a new functionality to get a parsed value (e.g. the reference to a gradient object instead of a string with its id) or to set an attribute to a parsed value. This feature has been merged this morning and will be released with *Inkscape 1.2*. Check out the branch here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/294 In order to avoid writing a CSS3 parser, I had to introduce a new dependency for parsing, computation of a style's specificity and the conversion of a selector to xpath. This is handled by the python package https://github.com/scrapy/cssselect. I've already opened MRs to add this dependency to deb, snap, appimage and windows packaging (https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3239, https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3238). If you are responsible for packaging Inkscape in some way, please have a look if I did this correctly or missed a packaging type (MacOS is still missing, for example). Again, this is not relevant for the upcoming 1.1 release. Best regards, Jonathan

Inkscape 1.1 release candidate is available !
by Marc Jeanmougin 04 May '21

04 May '21

Hi to all Inkscapers! We just launched the Release Candidate of Inkscape 1.1, with a plan to have roughly three weeks of testing for a release around May 24th. You can get it here: ================================= https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.1/?latest=1 ================================= (source tarball, linux appimage, windows installers and macOS dmg are available) We encourage you to use it as you would use Inkscape 1.1 stable, in order to find any problems people may encounter with the release. In particular, if you find any regressions, please do submit a bug report as soon as possible on https://inkscape.org/report : if nothing major is reported, the state of that release candidate should be close to the release. If you want to help with the translations to your language, it's still possible to submit those until close to the release date. Thanks to everyone involved in this release ! -- Marc

Please help check release notes for any larger changes missing
by Maren Hachmann 04 May '21

04 May '21

Hi everyone, the release notes for 1.1 are progressing here: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Release_notes/1.1 We're not sure if we've succeeded at including all major new features and important changes. I'm currently still working on looking through the commit history and merge requests. Please browse the linked page to check for any major features that you have contributed to. If you find the current description lacking detail, or if the big (or even small) thing that you've been working on is missing entirely, please let us know in https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/documentation You can help tremendously with documenting your changes through good commit messages that include how your change affects the users' experience and that include full links to related bug reports. Version tagging when closing a bug report and linking back to the original MR/Bug report in cherrypicks is also super helpful in knowing which version(s) a change ended up in (i.e. currently the main question is: is it in 1.0.2, too, or is it only in 1.1 + master). I've also seen some very good merge request descriptions (with before - after pictures), and found them to be very helpful - thanks to everyone who helped their reviewers and the users understand what they've been up to with the code in this way! All of this doesn't only make it easier to document changes, it also makes it easier for other developers (including your future self) to understand and search the commit history. Kind Regards Maren
