Upcoming Releases
by Joshua A. Andler 04 Nov '09

Hey All, Obviously, we are still waiting on the final patch for 0.47 before it can be released. When we were wanting to release 0.46, we had a similar issue with a Win32 specific issue holding up the release. This brings up something that needs to be addressed before the 0.48 cycle begins. It would be really helpful if for 0.48 we have a temporary policy, please comment on this if you agree, disagree, or have suggestions. For 0.48, it would be nice if anything that is a major change (aside from our GSoC projects) is NOT put into trunk until it has been well tested in a branch and/or privately by other devs/testers (I am willing and excited to test!). It would also be nice if we decide on an open committing period (time before Feature Freeze). For open committing, I would think 8-12 weeks should be sufficient to not break things too badly, yet still give enough time to flesh features out. I know this is much more restrictive than our normal development process, but for 0.48 to be as good and solid as possible (as soon as possible), this route makes the most sense. Obviously, once 0.48 gets out the door and we are onto 0.49, people can go back to committing responsibly... but, it would be nice if we had a policy moving forward of "if you break it, you must fix it". Thoughts? Cheers, Josh

(forwarding unintended off-list mail... ARGH) This should fix both issues. /tools/shapes/arc/* can be left unchanged from previous versions now. Regards, Krzysztof

The translations use (new)Pushkin because the author wanted to reuse the 0.46 font. Thus I won't change it except if Johan asks me to. Regards, -- Nicolas

0.47 about screens in progress
by Nicolas Dufour 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hi Thanks to all who confirmed or added their translation (some translations still need to be confirmed!). Wiki page updated (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AboutScreenTranslation). Johan is very busy at the moment, thus I've started to translate the screens by myself. I've tried Excellentia, but due to a very limited accents support, I've finally switched to Harabara Hand (http://www.dafont.com/harabarahand.font). The only drawback is that it doesn't support Cyrillic and other Unicode characters. Since I haven't found a nice script Cyrillic font, the Russian screen uses URW Chancery L (a default Ubuntu font). It's not a script font, but it looks better than a Times or Arial in this context. The translated screens are now (revision 22547) br, fr, it, nl, pt_BR, and ru. Could you please take a look at the screens and tell me what you think of the chosen fonts before I continue? Johan, do you want to keep your original untouched, or replace the "draw freely" font by Harabara Hand (or another script font)? Regards, -- Nicolas

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Bug in snapping (using pen tool)

You have to have some potential snap targets (some drawing) in order to reproduce it: 1. Have some drawing on the canvas, 2. select the pen tool, 3. move your mouse quickly for some time, 4. click somewhere near a drawing for a new line. You will notice that the snap indicator appears correctly on the grid, put the line starts somewhere in between... Arcadie

Fix for bug #459811 - can't switch ellipse mode
by Krzysztof Kosiński 30 Oct '09

Hello Attached is a fix for bug #459811. The case was a typo (missing slash) in toolbox.cpp which I probably made when refactoring preferences code. Please commit. Regards, Krzysztof Kosiński

0.47, probably not in the next week
by Joshua A. Andler 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hey All, Subject says it all. My family is moving this week and Jon & I will be at Google HQ this weekend for the GSoC Mentor's summit. I will not have a chance to review any patches until I am back early next week. Bulia, if you see any good and safe ones, feel free to wreak havoc. ;) Honestly, if someone wanted to take a look at the LPE Undo issues (change a param on any LPE and then hit undo). It would probably save us a ton of grief with user complaints if it could be fixed (obviously, only if the issue is not to complex). Cheers, Josh
