cool stuff. It will remove all this dependencies needs. Once several peaple confirmed, we should link directly from our downloadpage
Why should that be compiled using old OS image? I thought using bleeding edge build system you get all the cool features and library improvements only.

Wow, I tested the appimage on Ubuntu 15.10 and it just works ... Great achievement!
I guess settings are still saved in conventional paths?
Yes, correct.
I think AppImages makes a lot of sense for testing out new features / UI changes that are not yet in trunk. Early feedback.
On a side note, I've been working on a Vagrantfile that summons up a VM capable of building Inkscape from source. I wonder how much work it
would be
to add "appimage"-building capability to that....
Cool. In fact I have been doing something very similar but using CentOS 7 and Docker. It would not be that hard to add AppImage generation, see https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/blob/master/recipes/inkscape/Recipe . However the distribution you are building on should be as old as reasonably possible, because that makes the resulting binaries usable on more systems. I had tried CentOS 6 but then given up because Inkscape seemed to need newer versions of many dependencies (or at least the autotools were thinking so).
