NEW: interruptible display for better interactivity
by bulia byak 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Just committed: * Interruptible display: Previously, Inkscape could not do anything until it finishes the current screen redraw. Now the redraw is made interruptible, so that Inkscape responds to mouse and keyboard input and can abort the current redraw and start over if you do some screen-changing operation. As a result, Inkscape now feels much snappier and more interactive. So, while redraw is not really any faster now, it _feels_ much faster, especially for things like zooming, scrolling, etc. Enjoy. I fixed a couple bugs that were exposed by this change, but there may be more. In particular I suspect there might be a crash when you quit Inkscape while it's redrawing. I got this crash a couple times but it's very hard to nail it down. If you can cause it reproducibly please let me know. Other than that, it's working perfectly for me in the last few days. Thanks to Mental who suggested this change :) -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Aquify the OSX UI?
by Michael Moore 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Hi there, I was wondering if it'd be possible to use a more Aqua-ish theme for the OSX version in the next release? I think that The Gimp includes a GTK theme which makes it blend in more with the OSX desktop. I believe that an aperance that blends in a bit more would make it more acceptable to OSX users. I made a screenshot with the Gimp and Inkscape side by side and made some notes on the things I think help the Gimp blend in more. http://www.stuporglue.org/downloads/screenshots/MacishGTK.jpg I can file a feature request if that'd be the right thing to do. Thanks, -- Michael Moore

Binary compatibility issues
by Mike Hearn 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

As Donn has discovered Inkscape no longer installs on older versions of Fedora. I worked with him off list to find out why. There are two separate problems: * Use of __gnu_cxx::__pool (or something like that, going from memory). This is probably being used implicitly and is another case of the GNU people deciding to "helpfully" upgrade your dependencies for you. * Use of GOption API Together these cause the requirements of the binary to be higher than what the autopackage things they are. thanks -mike

siggraph this week
by Jon Phillips 02 Aug '06

Hello all, I'm at siggraph this week supporting the Open Source Pavilion for Creative Commons while also doing heavy promotion of Inkscape, Open Clip Art Library and CREATE Project. Siggraph (www.siggraph.org) is the largest graphics conference in the world and Ton from Blender.org has done an excellent job pulling together the blender team, people from GIMP, and others for this...I think it will become a great yearly meeting point. Blender has about 15 people here, honestly demo'ing, chatting, etc (and this is just the night before the exhibition). I can get anyone free exhibition passes from tomorrow AUG 1 - 3 (9:30 - 6 PM those days). Here is a link for the free exhibition passes: http://akseezanimation.com/2006/06/free-siggraph-2006-passes.html If you want to help out with demo's, answering questions, etc, please come out! I will hook you up with t-shirts and more from CC, Gnome Foundation, etc so you can look official :) Come on out!

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [root@...1070...: [Inkscape-tester] inkscape build report]
by Miklós Erdélyi 02 Aug '06

I don't know what 'make check' does exactly but there's a great chance that it is run on a machine with a Cairo library older than 1.2 which didn't have the PDF backend enabled by default, thus it doesn't have the needed header file. Also, cairo-pdf.h is included with "" and not <> but I don't think changing this would solve the problem. In order to solve this Inkscape will have to depend on Cairo 1.2 right? Or the Cairo PDF exporter could be enabled via a configure parameter.

check for cairo in configure
by jiho 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

hi all, building inkscape on os x fails today because : In file included from extension/internal/pdf-cairo.cpp:52: extension/internal/pdf-cairo.h:28:19: error: cairo.h: No such file or directory extension/internal/pdf-cairo.h:29:30: error: pango/pangocairo.h: No such file or directory extension/internal/pdf-cairo.cpp:59:23: error: cairo-pdf.h: No such file or directory [...] I don't have cairo on my system yet so this is not surprising but ./ configure lets me go into making without warning for anything. If not having cairo breaks the build there should be a configure check or a switch (--with[out]-cairo). PS: in addition the link to the patch to cairo mentionned in the last thread about pdf printing with cairo http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2006-July/007477.htm gives me a 404 not found error.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Miterlimit < 1 (was: [Inkscape-user] Display problems in Firefox and conversion problems in Acrobat)

This is a known issue that has been fixed in the Pdf exporter of Trunk (not sure about Stable), but I am still searching for an answer.. Isn't Inkscape wrong allowing users to specify miterlimits < 1? Reading http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#StrokeMiterlimitProperty "The limit on the ratio of the miter length to the 'stroke-width'. The value of <miterlimit> must be a number greater than or equal to 1. Any other value is an error (see Error processing)."

Hi! Making prereleases sound like a good idea, this would potentially reveal weak parts and make the release stronger.
