(sorry my gaim keeps segfaulting, no idea why, never used it before... email is more reliable anyway :)
I did a diff between the hydra branch and Sodipodi 0.33 (only /src). It's 450Kb so I cannot even put it on the tracker - maybe put into CVS? Where's the best place?
Anyway, I would propose that everyone would review the diff and delete those parts that are already in Inkscape, or those that make to sense, or are already resimplemented differently, etc. Anything worth transferring should be transferred (and then deleted from the diff). Hopefully we can thus eventually reduce it to zero. I have already removed some small things that I copied to Inkscape.
What I'd like to discuss is this:
- arikkei_* functions are now used extensively all over the codebase, for things like number to string conversions. Are they worth borrowing? What are their advantages compared to atoi and snprintf used before?
- Sodipodi 0.33 can type Cyrillic characters in the text tool. Inkscape cannot. Sodipodi also can display fancy chars such as em-dash (ctrl-u 2014), Inkscape cannot. I think this is due to all the Unicode new stuff in 0.33. We must have this too. Unfortunately it's quite big and complex and I'm not sure I can transfer this correctly. Any takers?
- The "duplicate" checkbox in transformation dialog is nice. It looks simple so I will transfer it (after 0.36 release).
