source documentation
by Ralf Stephan 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hello, just to announce that I committed source documentation changes to several dozen files. People are likely to recompile a lot but you know such things happen after new releases :] There are two doxygen config files in the distribution: src/inkscape.doxygen (used for the web pages) and src/Doxygen. The latter is specific for some files in order to be able to quickly check correctness or missing documentation. My goal for the next release is to have one-liners for all classes and functions in the source files referred to by src/Doxygen. In this regard, I will introduce \note, \todo, and \bug tags in comments, and I would ask people to use them for their own documentation, too. \todo's for example will be collected in a todo file by doxygen. \bug's should be moved into the tracker, eventually, probably. Finally, I noticed people use 'e.g.' and 'i.e.' incorrectly: you should not forget to always place a comma after them, i.e., e.g., like this. Reason: doxygen thinks the sentence ended there. ralf

Dating documentation
by Bryce Harrington 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi all, Someone pointed out that while documentation in general is great, it's important to include a "last updated date" in it. This is because documentation usually far outlasts the thing it documents, and so when we read it several years after it was written, it be incorrect compared with the current state. Placing a last updated date into the file enables future readers to be aware that the information may be out of date. Anyway, something to keep in mind as we continue to make more good docs! Bryce

Images in the release note
by Khiraly 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi! Just a little remark: The release note would be more attractive (and more fun to read) if it is illustrated by images of the apropriate feature. I think many users (who dont have programming skills) are able to take screenshots, and complement the release note with it. For example the new gradient tool is really better domentrate with an image as write down the functionality. Best regards, Khiraly

Using font kerning information
by Artur Rataj 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

The Inkscape version with that glibc bug was compiled from sources, and ran on the same system. It was the build inkscape-20050723-0000. The static RPM you told me to install does not work either: /usr/bin/inkscape: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/inkscape: undefined symbol: g_option_error_quark Cheers, Artur On 7/24/05, bulia byak <buliabyak@...400...> wrote: > And here's the bug report for your problem: > > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1166320&group_id=9… > > Read the workaround there and add your comments. > > -- > bulia byak > Inkscape.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Re: confusion on the mandriva bug

Have you seen Kees Cooks instructions on building static libraries? They might be helpful. Also, are you sure that glibmm is in the APBUILD_STATIC variable and has the right name? I'm not sure what'd be special about glibmm that makes it not work so I expect it's just a typo somewhere. thanks -mike Original Message: ----------------- From: Aaron and Sarah Spike spike@...749... I think I need another hint. I found that I was also missing libglibmm-2.4.a, so I built and installed that. But autopackage still doesn't link it in to my package. The rest of gtkmm is working properly now. Aaron Spike -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

final 0.42 tgz
by Kees Cook 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

I'm happy with what I've seen so far with pre3. A few small patches were added and several translation updates. Beyond that, I think all of the "issues" have been packaging. Ted, unless anyone objects, I'd say it's time for the official 0.42 tgz. (Just be sure you see the "inkscape_version.h.mingw" update I added to the "MakingDists" wiki) -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

confusion on the mandriva bug
by unknown＠example.com 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, I posted a bug in the bug tracker few hours ago and it seems that there has been confusion with the post of Lucas Vieites. We are not the same person, but we have (almost) the same bug ! And the same system (Mandriva LE 2005)... Personally, my crash is the following : __________________________________________________ /usr/bin/.proxy.inkscape: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/.proxy.inkscape) Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it. Segmentation fault ______________________________________________________ Best, luc estebanez
