Proposal for Feature Freeze today?
by Bryce Harrington 16 May '06

16 May '06

Hi all, How do you feel about our readiness to go into Feature Freeze mode today? There's still some development work not finished, but with the recent progress on the layer manager and other features that people have been working on, it feels like things are getting suitably wrapped up. Is there any remaining development work that you think we should wait for? Or do you think we are ready to enter the next phase of the release? During the Feature Freeze, we will discourage any further feature work in the main development branch, instead encouraging everyone to turn attention to the high priority items in the bug tracker. The more bugs we can fix during this next period, the better. Also, if you haven't already, please make sure to add a description of your feature work to the ReleaseNotes in wiki. Our translators will wish to get these notes translated, so the closer they are to done, the more likely they'll be able to complete their work on time. Bryce

Layers Dialog
by bulia byak 16 May '06

16 May '06

The long wait is over. A workable Layers dialog was committed last night by Jon Cruz. Hurray! Just press Ctrl+Shift+L and enjoy. Jon, so far I found two bugs: - if the actual order of layers (from bottom) is 1, 2, 3, 4 then in the dialog they go like this: 3, 2, 1, 4. - when you toggle visibility/lock in the dialog, the drop-down selector in the statusbar is updated, but the toggle buttons next to it are not. -- bulia byak Inkscape.

You seem to know your thing about PS, perhaps you can add this feature.

Hello Olivier, I am developing a new svgtopdf tool/plugin and I was just looking at that feature today, pdf has the ability to import the ttf or ps font directly and I think this is what I will do. Somehow I will have to link to Linux/Mac/Windows installed Fonts, this might take a bit of work to figure out but the main inkscape guys might know some things. Hopefully this will solve your problem in time, but my work is far from compleat and I need time to address many many bugs.

Font embedding and subsetting
by Olivier Lefevre 15 May '06

15 May '06

I was a bit surprised to read that if you don't use text-to-path you will need the font to be resident on the machine. Using text-to-path is very undesirable because it leads to gigantic PDF files yet if you don't neither GhostScript nor Acrobat (after conversion of the PS to PDF) can find it. This is true of both TTF or Type 1 fonts and even though the fonts are installed. What does one have to do??? Anyway, are there any plans to implement font embedding in PS output (and in PDF later), both for Type 1 and TTF fonts? IMO this is not a minor issue and I was surprised that Inkscape does not already support font embedding. Font subsetting would be great, too: otherwise you'll be limited to free fonts.

NEW: Zommed in rendering speedup
by Andrius Ramanauskas 15 May '06

15 May '06

As mentioned in some previous mail, I have finished rendering optimisation, which gives best results for zoomed in drawings with complex (multi-node) paths. Optimisation focus - eliminating cubicTo and LineTo nodes outside of visible area, so no unneeded calculations is needed and less memory is consumed (this avoids crashes which were occurring previously if zooming into a complex drawing). This can be improved even more (for example ArcTo nodes are not affected and is still slow if zoomed in; etc). This might affect all the rendering, so please report any broken rendering issues.

debian package

Hi! Maybe this is a little offtopic question, but there are any debian/ubuntu package from the recent cvs? (A src.deb would be perfect) (When I build from source, I dont have extension menus) Khiraly
