Regressions Tracker
by unknown＠example.com 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Dear developers, One of the discussions we had in Kiel was the potential to host a tracker to document some of the regressions that we have on GitLab. While we're keeping the inkscape issues tracker closed for now, I've created a project to hold the regressions for 1.0. These are mostly for programmers to document errors and talk between ourselves about possible solutions, rather than end user issues. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/regressions I don't think this'll interfere with anything, but let me know if it opens too many problems and I'll close it down. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Rocket.Chat / chat.inkscape.org
by Bryce Harrington 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Hi all, The Vectors team, after experimenting with a number of different online discussion tools, has selected Rocket.Chat as the best option for their team's discussions. Thanks to hard work by new Inkscaper Manuel Recena, this is up and running in Inkscape's official hosting, and is just about ready for use. While this is specifically set up at the request of the Vectors team, other teams are welcome to use it too if they wish. The #inkscape and #inkscape-devel freenode IRC channels will continue to be our primary discussion channels, no changes are planned for that. There are a few decisions that still need to be made on how Rocket.Chat is configured and used. We figured these questions deserve broader discussion, so are bringing them here. Ryan, could you reply on this thread with what decisions need to be made? Bryce

Cusp corner cap even with rounded corners active (stroke)
by Maren Hachmann 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

Jabier asked me to share this file via mailing list. The shape in it has a stroke with round caps. Only one corner looks as if it has another type of cap. The cap type depends upon the size of the path. When you make it larger, it starts to look as expected. In Firefox it looks as expected at any size. (Hackfest bug reported by Robert who is visiting us and uses Inkscape for teaching students about building technology) Maren

License header cleanup: Need feedback

Inkscape source license clarification
by Maximilian Gaukler 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Dear Dmitry, ./src/main-cmdlinexact.cpp and ./src/main-cmdlinexact.h are licensed as GPL-v2.x-only. This is a problem because inkscape has implicitly switched to GPLv3 by including widget code from GIMP. Is it okay to relicense your code to "GPLv2 or any later version"? Otherwise I fear that someone would have to rewrite or remove it. Greetings from the Kiel Hackfest, Max

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Price Quote: Customize and add Inkscape to our software XCLASS
by Pavi 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Dear Aditya, Thank you for your reply. Is there any procedure to take it up forward? Like I would like to know point of contact for such queries on customizing or is it open for hundreds of developers and anyone would offer the quote and I chose the best one? Is there a team who manages and collect the status? Also please give me any point of contact of the board of developers. I am also aware of the inkscape license and we just want a simplified version of inkscape to be added to our software as a plugin. We are looking to modify the content with SunTech's logo and preferences. We want to introduce inkscape to primary schools from level1 to high school in different stages so that students develop their creativity as they move to higher classes. Our XCLASS software is also developed using C++. Since we don’t have enough bandwidth from our developers to customize inkscape, we are looking forward to the help of your developers since they know about the source code inside out, it could be easier for them too and we can finish off the project sooner. Eager to hear back from you.

Kielius bus line scam
by C R 09 Sep '18

09 Sep '18

Dispite signs everywhere touting 6,50 fare, the driver of the Kielius bus would not let me on for less than 21,00. Moreover, trying to book on the website wanted 15,80 and there is very little English on the site. Was I scammed? I certainly feel scammed. Thanks. -C
