So, with 0.43 finally out, let's all return to development. The 0.44 will be a "long" "development" release, so you all have plenty of time to try your wildest ideas. (If you start right now, that is :)
- Rotation center retention (John Cliff) - a very useful simple
patch that just needs to be rewritten correctly. I will then reuse this facility so that keyboard and Transform dialogs honor the center position as well.
This will result in more non SVG markup wont it? :(
(When this was brought up before I believe someone thought it was something they would want to preserve across editing sessions but maybe that is overkill and just having the functionality for the current session would be enough?)
Given how following the SVG specification is stated as a primary goal it worries me when things are planned which seem likely to take inkscape further away from that. Sure any extra markup can safely be ignored but with both SVG and OpenDocument (and other existing schemes) providing extensive standards to choose from it seems like there might be better ways to do things than creating more markup which is useful only to Inkscape.
