Regression with customizable filters on Kubuntu 12.04
by Ivan Louette 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

With rev11689 and the Oxygen GTK theme on Kubuntu 12.04 customizable filters interfaces no longer work. It only applies the filter default settings and refuse to refresh. When changing to other GTK themes filters work without problems. ivan

Finally announcing 0.48.3.1?
by Luca Bruno 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

Hi all, so today I was again approached by a user puzzled by the fact that 0.48.3.1 is shipped by most distro, yet our site still mentions 0.48.2 as latest stable. So I found myself a bit bold and proceeded with some action, after last discussion on this topic. Just to recall a bit the issue, 0.48.3.1 has been released as stable in February. Linux and Win packages were ready in June, and in July we had a short vote about the severe lack of .dmg, whose outcome was: «Make announcements and apologize, while explaining why we have left out a group of our users.» This was already two months ago, nothing went out... So, today I first committed to the web SVN an update of all links and labels, then I drafted a short announce explaining what's going on: http://titanpad.com/8eew4Q6uo2 Next step is to publish the announce and run a publish_web.sh to make it public, as I don't have powers to do this. I'm sure it could be polished/expanded a bit, as I'm neither a native speaker nor the usual PR guy. But I fear that delaying this even more is damaging the project, so please let the ball start rolling.

Updated lcms in devlibs
by Jasper van de Gronde 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

I just updated lcms in devlibs, with a bit of luck solving this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/453931 If anyone developing on Windows who has experience using lcms could test, that would be great. (Although I expect no big problems, I stuck to lcms 1.)

Guides, backwards compatibility
by Johan Engelen 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi all, The guide project has changed the format in which guides are saved to SVG. The question now is: how do we provide compatibility with "old-style" guides? My proposal: convert old-style definitions to new-style upon loading the file. Saving said file and opening it in Inkscape 0.48 will no longer show any guides in this case. If desired, we can create a python extension that saves the file with all guides converted to old-style. This is the way we went to "new-style" grids back in the day. (unfortunately, grids are stored in 'wrong' coordinates and will have to be transformed too...) Ciao, Johan

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Rotatable desktop (was: Inkscape 0.49 Proposed Release Plan)
by jbc.engelen＠swissonline.ch 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Indeed, I already had a rudimentary rotatable desktop working a while ago; it was only a small coding effort. What popped up were some UI questions: - page display - boundingbox, do we want it to rotate too or not? - thingies for scaling, shearing, rotating, should they rotate too? - horizontal/vertical directions for dragging objects with ctrl, should they rotate too? Etc... Related: it can be nice to have different scales in x and y dir. If rotating works, then it should be programmed such that any reasonable transform matrix works...?

In principle it should be possible to change doc2dt and dt2doc matrices to any transform without any modifications to the display subsystem, but it might expose bugs - mainly hidden assumptions that doc2dt is always an Y flip + translation. The code drawing the page background will need to be rewritten, as it now assumes that the page is a rectangle with sides parallel to desktop coordinate system axes. Regards, Krzysztof

Hello, I'm working on the first phase is to get the preview of the layout spiro match the final result. This is something I see that basic b-spline curves are meaningful. Anyway I'm very slow and not C and something that seems simple to me is a world. Hi, Jabiertxo.

Inkscape 0.49 Proposed Release Plan
by Josh Andler 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hey All, The following is based on previous release plans. Let me know if there's anything missing. One thing I want to do differently is the bug hunt. No score for this release, only going for bugs milestoned for 0.49 instead. This also means we need to hit the tracker to ensure the milestoned ones are correct and to milestone and must fixes. The number of bugs already fixed in trunk is huge, so getting the work out for further testing "soon" is better. Dates are subject to change as always, hopefully they could be moved up (with the exception of the the time between Feature Freeze and Hard Freeze, for the sake of the translators). Translators, I would recommend getting started sooner rather than later. 1. Open development. (In Progress) 2. Chill. (September 21, 2012) Development focuses on wrapping up. No further refactoring. Identify 'make distcheck' issues Triage bug reports Run an About Screen contest First draft of Release Notes. Update tutorials and other docs 3. Frost. (October 5, 2012) Most development complete. Release Notes should be >90% filled in. Bug Hunt: Target those milestoned for 0.49. Post alpha quality tarball. 4. Feature Freeze. (October 26, 2012) No further development work. Disable features that can't be finished in time. Focus on critical bug fixing. Finalize all tutorials, docs, etc. Finalize all extensions. Translators create/update translations. Inkscape must pass 'make distcheck' Post beta quality tarball. 5. Hard freeze. (November 23, 2012) Only release wardens can commit to mainline. No further string changes. Focus on release-critical bug fixing. Finalize translations, release notes, etc. Post Release Candidate tarball. Packagers test creating pkgs. 6. Branch. (December 7, 2012) Establish the Stable Branch for release Complete any late-late-late work. Final verification of packaging, release notes, docs, etc. Publish more release candidates until ready for release. Plan 0.49.1+ release(s), as needed 7. Release. (December 21, 2012) Post inkscape-0.49.tar.gz Post packages Post official announcements 8. Open development. Yes, it seems like a ridiculously short timeframe given our history of making releases happen and how much we've strayed in the past. I do however feel it is doable given the change in the bug hunt requirement for this cycle. That usually holds us up. Also, no platform specific bugs will hold up this release. We will release for specific platforms as issues are taken care of. If anyone has objections or concerns, please speak up. As stated in the past... this is doable. We're good, we're smart, we're competent, and we have the resources... we just need to be focused to make this happen. Let's do this! Cheers, Josh

Release notes page
by Johan Engelen 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi all, I would very much like to have the release date written somewhere on the release notes page. I can only find it on the 0.48.2 page (I believe I added it back then). If someone is looking for a small task, please go ahead and add the release dates to all other release notes pages! ;) Let's try to not forget it for future releases! An idea just popped up: shall we add the about screen dialog to the release notes page? For extra exposure of the winning entry :-) Cheers, Johan
