Python dependencies for extensions on all platforms need common min versions
by ~suv 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

While the topic raised in the versioning scheme thread mentions a general API version possibly separated from the program version, bug #448285 "lxml version bundled with Inkscape is old" <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/448285> brings up an issue that could be discussed and solved for 0.47 (especially as 0.47pre4 has just been branched). Could there be a central document on Inkscape.org available for all future extension developers (and package maintainers) that defines the python version and necessary python modules for the current release and lists the minimal versions every Inkscape installation needs to provide for the extension-system out-of-the-box? Or could this be handled entirely by the configure and packaging scripts, which then create an updated 'README.python' document included in the 'share/extensions'? ~suv

Inkscape 0.47 on the horizon (Call for help)
by Joshua A. Andler 11 Oct '09

11 Oct '09

Hey All, I think we closed out the last of the blocker bugs today! So, will people please help ensure that the release notes are up to date? I'm headed there in just a minute to document my latest changes. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.47 Regarding PR, I am going to continue with what was started here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AnnouncePlanning047 If you are an inkscape user who wants to contribute, even if you can't program, this is the perfect way to give back to the community. Please help us flesh this out and refine it. Packagers, please package up Pre3 if you have not already done so as a practice run... and honestly, I think it would be safe to plan a release for next week (between Monday the 5th and Friday the 9th), provided packages are available and no new issues arise. Any objections to this proposed plan? Any thoughts on if releasing on a specific day of the week will get more notice? Cheers, Josh

Wiki French index
by Nicolas Dufour 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi, I'm currently translating the wiki index (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Inkscape) in French. But I don't know how to link it to the other languages indexes (there's no edit link) and to make it the default index when French language is chosen. I've modified /inkscape_web/trunk/includes/localized-fr.inc but it doesn't seem to work. The new French index is http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Inkscape-fr. Could someone help? Thanks! -- Nicolas

JavaFX interest
by Jon A. Cruz 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi, Is there still much interest out there in having Inkscape support JavaFX? I fixed some core issues to get things to at least compile/read, etc. However there are still some bugs on specific features not working when exported files are brought into JavaFX-land. It would help things greatly if some users could poke about briefly and enter some Launchpad bugs against Inkscape for individual JavaFX issues. Thanks.

Issues with SVG precision number writing
by Jon A. Cruz 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

In fixing bug #399604 I discovered that our writing of numbers with specified precision has a few bugs in it. Given that we've come close to a release without people explicitly noticing I think we are OK for the moment. However we really should look into that and see what we can do as far as fixing proper support for edge cases. If people can take a look at that, it would be quite helpful. There is an appropriate unit test source file in our tree: svg/svg-length-test.h The function that has issues is unsigned int sp_svg_number_write_de( gchar *buf, int bufLen, double val, unsigned int tprec, int min_exp ); Note that it did not used to have that bufLen parameter, and that even at the moment it is unused. I'll be adding a few test cases in there, but if others can also contribute we can stabilize things much quicker. Thanks

daily updates testsuite
by unknown＠example.com 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hi Niko, It is awesome that you are doing daily testsuite updates on your website [1]! Thanks a lot! Anybody care to write a newsitem about this on our website? I have two requests: 1. Are you using perceptualdiff? There are many 'new' entries in the list. This means that the resulting file is different from the reference when compared byte per byte. But I'd rather see the result of a visual comparison, using perceptualdiff [2]. perceptualdiff "runtests.py --compare-png=perceptualdiff" 2. I'd like to see the svn revision number below the date; so that we know exactly with which Inkscape version the test was done. Again, I'm very happy to see the results updated every day! Ciao, Johan [1] http://auriga.mine.nu/inkscape/ [2] http://pdiff.sourceforge.net/

Inkscape Portable
by Joshua A. Andler 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hey All, Chris Morgan has submitted a patch for packaging a portable version of inkscape. There is one thing which is additionally distributed with these builds that I feel I should ask the group about. There is a help.html file for the portable version which has a button for donating to support portableapps.com. Attached is an image of the page. Optionally we could otherwise just link to it being hosted on portableapps.com, but it does seem like people would probably be more comfortable if it were officially supplied by the project. Opinions? Cheers, Josh

"Draw freely" font
by Johan Forsberg 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hello, I'd really like to provide translated versions of the 0.47 about screen and I have decided that I'd like to use the nice handwriting style font used in previous screens instead of the one I used originally (this was In fact my original plan). Does anyone know what the font is called and where to get it? I'm assuming it's free to use for this purpose... /Johan (a.k.a "sko")

missing release notes, help needed
by bulia byak 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

For most missing/cryptic/inadequate descriptions I was able to get them into shape myself, but for these two sections I just don't have enough information: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.47#Document_Propert… http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.47#Object_Propertie… Please fill these out in detail, using full sentences, describing all aspects and controls and behavior, in a way everyone can understand. This _is_ important. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Inkscape Website
by Chris Morgan 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hey guys, I decided to post this as a new topic rather than taking the InkscapeForum.org one further off-topic. I've pretty much finished my theme for the website, and it's available for viewing at http://inkscape.chrismorgan.info/. I'll be setting up content as I get to it (i.e. soon). Other theme submissions are welcome, email them to me and I can set them up there. Josh Andler said he would talk to Ian about getting me Drupal access on inkscape.org - I don't know who Ian is or anything about that, but it could help with testing :-). I'm happy to work with it on my server though, it can be transferred without much trouble. Unless I hear about a inkscape.org-hosted Drupal site very soon I'll just continue working on my copy. My work is mainly based on this<http://duckgoesoink.deviantart.com/art/Inkscape-Website-entry-front-81779014> submission<http://duckgoesoink.deviantart.com/art/Inkscape-Website-entry-main-81779682>by duckgoesoink. Is she/are you subscribed to this list, or does anyone know how to get in contact with her? I'd like to put a credit link in the footer. -- Chris Morgan <chris.morganiser@...400...> I don't need a quote in my signature. It's hard enough surviving as it is without having to find a meaningful quote. Will you forgive me? Or don't you read this bit?
