Hi, It seems that 3 DLLs are not copied from the mingw/bin directory for the dist target, I had to copy them myself : libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll libpthread-2.dll libstdc++-6.dll Yann.

...would a release be in order? I remember we were longing for Cairo back in 2006! This branch merge is a very big deal! Joel

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

It looks like there haven't been any new builds since the cairo merge, who is the point of contact for getting that all working again? Cheers, Josh
