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 Placing a last updated date into the file enables future readers to be aware that the information may be out of date.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/ .

Inkscape 0.42 tarballs/etc.
by Ted Gould 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hey Everyone, After months of hard work were happy to introduce an editor beyond, its years, its Inkscape 0.42. Like always, this is a limited announcement until binaries for several platforms can be created. Please wait to tell your friends. Have fun, Ted MD5 Sums: 4af587b942647bf9e27861e2238844c8 inkscape-0.42.tar.bz2 e0a299ff70044fd9a424961bd3ad8c13 inkscape-0.42.tar.bz2.sig 653c81be2fc7c80fd9895e908d3a73f1 inkscape-0.42.tar.gz 04c03f3af1e2700ca92f12d314a37444 inkscape-0.42.tar.gz.sig

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

Proposed plan for 0.43 development
by Bryce Harrington 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

Hi all, As the release of 0.42 nears, I haven't been able to help thinking about what we should do for the next release. I'd like to throw some thoughts out for comment. I think we're all ready for a bit faster release cycle. 0.43 really took a bit too long. Partly that's because we wanted a nice long development cycle, but mostly because we had some extremely ambitious goals. This release, though, the goals are more modest (and already mostly done). As well, we have four Google Summer of Code students producing code, and I think it would serve their learning process (and our own ability to review the code and give them feedback) if they can start getting their code drops out to the Inkscape audience. Thus, I'd like to propose that for at least 0.43 and 0.44 that we shoot for something on the order of a month each: 3 weeks development 2 weeks feature freeze - stabilization / bugfix ~1 week hard freeze release repeat As far as specific development goals, I think we should just set the one goal of having some working code from each of the SoC students, (plus whatever else gets done by others). Some of the students may need our assistance in learning how to integrate code, test it, fix bugs, and so forth. (The originally planned goal of the 0.43 release was to work out how to do extensions, which thanks to hard work by Ted, ACSpike, and others, is already fairly well in the bag.) Anyway, let me know your thoughts on the above, and if it sounds acceptable, we can start on this plan of action as soon as the release of 0.42 is complete! :-) Bryce
