version details
by Jon A. Cruz 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

I was fixing the bug about the svg version attribute not always being written, and came across two issues. The first is minor, but the second is one for a bit of collaboration. First is that I found our default version we've been adding is "1.0". Thus we end up with <svg = "1.0", whereas it really needed to be updated to "1.1". That bit of code has not been touched since Mental first imported things, so I'm very sure it is just an oversight. The second is that we are still adding this to every file: sodipodi:version="0.32" Is it safe to remove that now? I'm pretty sure we don't need to keep compatibility with SodiPodi anymore. I'd like to be about to clean up our use of the "sodipodi" namespace altogether... but that is really a large and involved task and most likely not one for now.

UC 1.1.4 is out
by Alexandre Prokoudine 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hi, UniConvertor 1.1.4 is out and among other things (PLT importer/exporter, which is useful to plotters users among our users) it features win32 build with VisualStudio 2008 which specifically addresses some of Inkscape's concerns :) It would be great if our Win packagers started using 1.1.4 from now on. Do you want me to create .inx for PLT? Alexandre

Hi! Sorry I might be missing something but I have not seen an official "string freeze" announcement. It seems like today is branching day? Would commits of translations be OK after today? Thanks. Marcin Floryan

multiple desktop use cases
by Glimmer Labs 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Do you ever use multiple Inkscape windows simultaneously (or know people that do?) If so, how, and under what circumstances? I am working on an Inkscape scripting API through GSoC and am trying to decide how to abstract the desktop concept. I would like to do this for two reasons. One, if it is not at least partially hidden virtually every method would need a desktop argument, incresing complexity without much tradoff in terms of flexibility. Two, the concept is not one that I think script writers should need to worry about and the terminoligy only makes it more confusing for the uninitiated. Of course I'm not everyone and so I want to get opinions on how working with multiple desktops simultaniously is useful for people so I can figure out how much functionality to expose. When I have a draft layout of the API finished (soon) I will ask for more general feedback on use cases people feel are not supported. Thank you for your feedback, -Soren Berg

Hi all, I just made the ruler lpe official. I also added a "unit" parameter: Reading the svn history, I discovered there was one long time ago, that mysteriously desappaered... Please review this and if there is something wrong with this addition, please let me know! Cheers, jfb.

fenv.h, fmin, fmax
by Jeremy C. Reed 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Using inkscape-21256 snapshot (because release version has bug causing core dump when attempting to change fill color as reported numerous times). src/display/nr-arena-shape.cpp has #include <fenv.h> But I don't see any use of floating-point definitions, FE* macros, or fe*() functions. I commented that line out and inkscape built fine. (Also some platforms don't have any fenv.h.) Also src/live_effects/lpe-dynastroke.cpp uses fmin and fmax. Some platforms don't have that. So I added to src/live_effects/lpe-dynastroke.cpp : #define fmin(a,b) ((a)<(b)?(a):(b)) #define fmax(a,b) ((a)>(b)?(a):(b)) Also work/inkscape-21256/src/display/nr-filter.cpp refers to fmax but it is commented out.

hackmeeting @milan 19->21 June 2009
by Carlo Frinolli | nois3lab 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi all, I'm here writing you and you don't know me yet. :) Probably you might have read about my company: nois3lab. Well my workmate in particular set up the website you may have heard about: inkscapegallery.net. Now it's time (well you know we're kinda late, but... forget it :P) to show it proudly to the world. So we're going to this year italian hackmeeting to have some workshops about this. Showing why inkscape, why free software, why drupal and so on. But obviously we wanted to talk about the real topic, which is inkscape. And we thought: who better that its developer could? So, here I am: there will be some of you guys who want to come and take a workshop about the software itself? The roadmap, the status, the choices. It'll be of great pleasure for us all. Btw this years' saturday session will be focused on free software graphics, and video with some gimp sessions, some cinelerra's and pureData's... Here's the website http://it.hackmeeting.org and the wiki on which we're planning the meeting http://www.hackmeeting.org/_wiki/ Down here some info about hackmeeting. ---- The Hackmeeting was born in 1998 as the time and place for Italian and international digital counterculters, hackers and activists to share ideas, discuss projects and plan strategies on cyber-rights, electronic tools for struggling and alternative views of society. In 10 years it has been organized in Florence, Milan, Rome, Catania, Bologna, Genova, Torino, Naples, Pisa, Palermo and Parma. Every year it has been participated by hundreds of people, each one contributing to the event with debates, projects, software, concerts, talks, and a lot more. This year the hackmeeting is back in Milan, in the neighbourhood that will be swept away by the 2015 International Exposition projects. Our slogan will be: Hack your fear! Build your future! Hackmeeting is a story twelve years old. Hackmeeting has been born in 1998 and has been hold every year since that date, all over Italy, from north to south, in Florence, Milan, Rome, Bologna, Turin, Pisa, Genoa, Naples, Palermo, Catania, Parma. It has gathered nerds, cyber activists, geeks, techies, but also anyone who cared to subscribe to a general definition of hacking as changing one's own life to suit one's own desire, overcoming limit and borders, self-managing tools and spaces. The Hackmeeting has always focused on open hardware and free software, on digital countercultures, economies without capital, free speech against repression, and tried to point out the evolution and the impact of computers and electronic communication on the information system and on all of our lives. Hackmeeting offers workshop, conferences, spontaneous discussion, cyber art performances, and much more. Each proposed activity, though, is meant as one of the facet of a philosophical framework based on sharing, openness, decentralization, free access, human evolution, and aimed at a political outcome. Hackmeeting is organized by a community of hackers unique in the world for its desire to funnel the hacker ethics into political activism, far beyond the limits of the technological environment. The Hackmeeting community thinks hacking is a tool to alter reality and society as a whole. The Hackmeeting is usually a three-days long event and it's completely self-organized through an open and non-moderated mailing list (https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/hackmeeting ) and wiki (http://hackmeeting.org/_wiki/index.php?title=Pagina_principale ), as well as local live meeting in the city which will hold the next edition. It often takes place in social centers, community spaces, and squats, to stress the close relationship between hacking and the underground political scene. (http://aia.mahost.org/pro_spaces.html) The first two days are dedicated to workshop, conferences and debates. The third is usually dedicated to a big plenum, where all the participants analyse new ideas and possibilities pointed out during the meeting, sum up all the event and reflects and examines projects for the next future. For the first time in 2009 Hackmeeting is going to be splitted in two parts, to reach as many people as possible: Warm up and Hackmeeting. Warm up is a series of events which will take place in various univerisities in Milan (Accademia di belle arti di Brera, Fisica, Bovisa, Bicocca, Scienze politiche, and Cascina Torchiera), between june 9th and 18th. They will be open conferences presented by researchers, experts, activists on ethics and hackers culture issues as hacking and net art history, open source, fear embedded societies, security and control, open design e 3D animation, peer to peer economy, ecohacking (hacker approach to ecology). The Hackmeeting itself will take place in Sos Fornace, Rho (sosfornace.org) from june 19th to 21st: three days of workshops, lan space, sharing, meetings, discussions on free software, code, net neutrality, peer to peer and also digital countercultures, economies without capital, free speech against repression. Dedicated to the people who have adopted a critical and proactive approach towards the advancement of new technologies -- which are more and more tied to social control, the business of war and the commercialization of every vital space. Three days of workshops, games, parties, debates, exchanges and most of all, collective learning.
