The second option (different handle) sounds to me like what should happen. Why do you say that makes it harder to get results from the program? Aaron Spike

We have several people who compile the code for windows. I'll direct the question to our mailing list, so they can all see it.

Open Clip Art Library Release 0.15 Announcement
by Jon Phillips 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

July 8, 2005 UTC — Release 0.15 of the Open Clip Art Library (www.openclipart.org) is now on-line for download as an individual package consisting of 4336 images submitted by over 430 artists from around the world. The amount of high quality clip art has increased much with the inclusion of Nicu Buculei's Playing Cards collection and Gerald Ganson's package submission. During the month of June, thanks to Google's Summer of Code, a student developer, Greg Steffensen, has received funding to construct a graphical client for the Open Clip Art Library. This client will be able to be used inside Inkscape and other applications on the free desktop. Also, this work is dependent upon the new document management system (DMS) and is planned to use its SOAP-based webservice API to communicate with the Open Clip Art Library. In other news, developers Bryce Harrington and Jon Phillips are scheduled to present at Desktop Developers' Conference 2005 in Ottawa, Canada July 18-19. Harrington is presenting "Inkscape - An Open Source Vector Drawing Application" and Phillips is promoting "Introduction to the Open Clip Art Library," which will also be shown at SVG Open 2005 in Enschede, Netherlands. For the month of July, the focus of the project will continue to be collecting summer themed clip art. However, in the background DMS will be further connected and tested with openclipart.org's internals. The project encourages any interested person(s) to submit clip art and/or to lend a hand to make the Open Clip Art Library a more extensive resource of contributed clip art.

Hello, Is there a way in Inkscape to crop images? It may be in pure svg xml, because I'm only using the Inkscape viewer. the problem is when I put nested <svg> tags arround the <image> tag, the cropping is never executed. Example: <svg width=... height=... viewBox=....> ... some tags to draw like rectangles, .... <svg width="100" height="100" viewBox="0 0 100 100"> <image xlink:href="image_to_show.jpg" x="0" y="0" width="200" height="200"/> </svg> </svg> In this example I would expect only 1/4 of the image to be shown, but the image is always shown in total. Anyone an idea how to do this?

Inkscape 0.42 Release Preparations
by Bryce Harrington 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

Hi all, We're getting close to being ready to make the 0.42 release. Currently we are in Feature Freeze mode while we fix bugs. We've closed a lot of bugs over the past few weeks and are nearly ready to move into the next phase. Here is our process: 1. Start of release process - Finish up work on features. 2. Feature Freeze Mode - Shift focus from feature implementation to bug fixing <--- ** You are here ** 3. Hard Freeze - Two freeze wardens are named. All development must be done as patches submitted to the freeze wardens for review and integration. 4. Branch - The codebase is tagged and branched. Final release tarball is posted. The codebase is returned to regular open development. 5. Packaging - Three days are allowed for creating release dists (rpm's, deb's, exe's, and autopackages). 6. Release Announcement - A Release Announcement and a Press Release are written and circulated to relevant online news sites. Our Freshmeat record is updated. Judging from the speed of our development work, we may be entering into Hard Freeze mode as early as this weekend. At this time, in addition to resolving the remaining 'Must Fix' bugs, we need to wrap up work on the following: * Everyone who has added features, please describe your work on the ReleaseNotes page. * Arpad, can you let translators know we will be in Hard Freeze (including String Freeze) in about a week? * ScislaC, would you mind bringing AUTHORS up to date? Several people have submitted patches lately, and I want to make sure we have all the credits in time for the about screen. :-) * Jon & Kees, let me know if you two will be our Release Wardens this time through. * Bulia, please let us know if we have the right set of Must Fix bugs accounted for. * Ted, when you get a chance, can you put up another pre-release * Rejon, can you prepare a preliminary press release for us? It's been a while since we had a release, so this will be important news. :-) Thanks, and happy 4th to the usians. :-) Bryce

Recent XML-RPC vulnerability
by Jonathan Leighton 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Just a FYI: I was going to delete xmlrpc.php from our WP install until I had time to upgrade it, but I realised that I had already replaced the contents with "This file is not used." previously anyway, so we are not vulnerable (so there's little point upgrading). -- Jonathan Leighton aka.

Hello, I can find no way to make a canvas item a singleton, i.e., ensure that only one of its class is created. Is there a way? Thanks, ralf

That might be nice to have for now. I think after the 0.42 release, I'd like to try rewriting the clonetiler in terms of a simple CFG engine. All of the plane symmetry groups should be expressable that way. Users wouldn't see anything different, except we could (for example) allow an additional option of specifying a ContextFree-style grammar instead of a symmetry group. -mental
