Extensions and Warnings
by Martin Owens 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

I'm trying to solve a bug with my deviantArt stash extension. It produces warnings because poxy webkit with bleedin java and god aweful html decide that it's a great idea to shout out to the world a whole bunch of version information, including any javascript errors that happen in the loaded pages. What cute is that I told the inx to load a bash shell which loaded the python script and to dev/null everything. That didn't hack fix it. I tried redirecting sys.stderr to a file, somehow it still manages to come through. Please tell me there is a way to stop inkscape from reporting warnings from python extensions? There is no reason to report warnings to users unless they can be formatted in a nice way and these can't be. Martin,

New rendering bug with blur filter
by Ivan Louette 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

This bug doesn't exist in 0.48.1 I saw it this morning in rev 10355 on Kubuntu Couls someone confirm it before I fill it on Launchpad ? When blur is combined with a Composite "in" some vertical dark lines are shown on rendering and exporting to bitmap. If vertical blur is set to zero the lines change to dots. If a little amount of black is added they disappear (here I decrease luminance and that works too). ivan

Font fall back support for inkscape
by Abhishek Sharma 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hello everybody, I am a selected candidate for GSoC 2011 and contributed to inkscape in GSoC 2010 as well. I am looking to start the development of font fall back support in inkscape. As discussed with my mentor Tavmjong its a required item and shall be very helpful to inkscape. And as all the readers of this mail might have guessed, I am writing this mail to have the inputs of inskcape developers on this. I would love to have your comments which can help me answer questions like - Where to look into the code, What to change, What to add should it be anew class or an added functionality to a pre-existing class, questions of these sort. Waiting earnestly for all of your responses :) -- Regards, Abhishek Sharma

Removing dead Inkboard code
by Krzysztof Kosiński 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hello As part of the general theme for the current development cycle, which appears to be "in-tree forks & cruft must die", I have completely removed Inkboard. Here are the reasons. 1. This code is seriously bitrotted and was disabled for a long time, with no one stepping up to put it back into shape. 2. It is behind times. A modern implementation would use something like Telepathy instead of a homegrown XMPP library. 3. Even if it worked, there is a very good chance it would have several remote execution vulnerabilities. 4. I'm not even sure Inkscape is the proper place for such functionality. It's cool, but it looks very much like feature bloat to me. People can do this much better using Google Docs drawings, which can be exported as SVG. 5. The fact that there were no loud complaints about the disappearance of Inkboard around version 0.47 indicates that few people were using it. Regards, Krzysztof

I wouldn't necessarily advocate having a new about screen and trying to create a huge media circus around such a release, I'm just keen to get this into the hands of distros sooner rather than later.

Cairo branch ready
by Krzysztof Kosiński 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hello The Cairo rendering branch should be ready for merging. I fixed the rendering of controls, which was apparently the last blocker, and merged from trunk to fix conflicts. Do we wait for Cairo 1.12 or put the experimental 1.11.2 in devlibs? Regards, Krzysztof
