But i think it doesn\'t work correctly. The Date of all news is 11/30/2004. I use Opera as Rss-Reader and all others feeds i have subscribed work correct. Also i noticed that this site is not really XHTML valid: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inkscape.org i think you should changed this... so now in german: Hi, als ich vor ein paar Tagen versucht habe den Rss-Feed in Opera zu abbonieren, habe ich festgestellt, dass dieser nicht so funktioniert wie es eigentlich sein sollte. Bei alle News wird das Datum 30.11.2004 angezeigt und das kann meiner Meinung nach nicht so wirklich stimmen. AuÃerdem habe ich festgestellt, dass die Seite entgegen der angezeigten Buttons unten nicht HTML valid ist, wie man hier erkennen kann: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inkscape.org Mfg sacool

platform specific inx
by unknown＠example.com 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Last night I added a short blurb to http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?GettingExtensionsWorking about how I was able to make pdf output work on WinXP with ghostscript. I've been thinking about what if any of that should go into cvs and how would we ever make an inx file cross platform in a situation like this. But it just occured to me that for in/output extensions this isn't necessary. An inx for each platform could coexist as long as they have appropriate dependency tests. Because they don't show up when the deps aren't met. So I guess I just need a proper test for windows. thoughts? Aaron Spike

Inkscape 0.43 Released
by Ted Gould 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

Inkscape 0.43 is now released. With lots of exciting new features, many sponsored by Google's Summer of Code, this is the best release of Inkscape until the next one. Source code is now available in Sourceforge, and everything is tagged and labeled in CVS. We kindly ask that this release not be publicized outside of the friendly confines of the Inkscape community until more packages are available. Shortly, a more public announcement will be made. Thank you for containing your excitement. Release in SF: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=9911… MD5 Sums: 97c606182f5e177eef70c1e8a55efc1f inkscape-0.43.tar.bz2 8f6ef98f046784b11d843738543866dd inkscape-0.43.tar.bz2.sig e3e92da1464dcee1b42560ff073dfe36 inkscape-0.43.tar.gz a5d7d368af974e8feb9be647ed791b7c inkscape-0.43.tar.gz.sig --Ted

Bringing back onlist so the question is archived for others to see (and including RiDiRi in the Carbon Copy list because he obviously isn't on the list).

Reinstalling the application may fix it. There may have been an error in the package and that file might really be missing but I'm surprised it worked the first time but didn't work later. > The only way I know how to reinstall anything, is by uninstalling and > reinstalling the whole program.

Very often we learn about problems which may have accidentally been overlooked or get ideas for improvements. Knowing people are using and enjoying inkscape is something we all like to hear and not at all a waste of time. > I thank you for all that you suggested.

Perhaps someone else on the list can offer a better suggestion on how to fix your current setup but if you are willing to wait there should be a windows version of Inkscape 0.43 release this week (or sooner) and personally I would do the easiest thing and wait for 0.43.

Hi Richard, The Open Clip Art Library is not responsible for the Inkscape program but the two projects are closely related and a number of our developers work on Inkscape too. Inkscape is open source, free software, meaning that you are entitled to use and redistribute the software as much as you would like -- so there is no time limit. Most probably you are experiencing a bug in the program which is causing a crash. I am sure the Inkscape developers would appreciate it if you could give them a little more information so they can look at it or help you out. I have copied the Inkscape developers in on this email and hopefully one of them will get in touch with the right questions. Kind Regards Jon On Fri, 2005-11-18 at 15:12 -0800, Open Clip Art Library Feedback Form wrote: > Name: Richard Kowalski > E-mail: RiDiRi@...1081... > > > Dear Sirs > Recently I downloaded your Inkscape program.

I'm awfully sorry to raise this boring topic again, but... Did we decide to skip 0.43 at all? Peter is doing lots of commits into CVS HEAD. Jon is nowhere to be seen. Or, did we release it already and I missed it? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

better pdf output (Linux)
by pasp 18 Nov '05

Hello, Recently I have done simple hack and I used epstopdf [1] command instead of ps2pdf. This way we can export pdf files with full respect to bounding box. Hope It will be useful for someone too :) greets, Tomek [1] $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/epstopdf tetex-3.0-6.FC4 (also included in this mail)

_why's just switched a bunch of his projects to SVN, so it looks like I'm going to be getting some firsthand experience with it on real (i.e. multi-developer) projects. I'll try and keep y'all updated on how it goes. -mental
