Cairo 1.12.4 introduced changes which affect Inkscape stable and trunk. Later releases (1.12.6, 1.12.8) addressed some of them for now, but not all: Outline view mode doesn't display any visible outlines at all [1], even with latest cairo 1.12.8 (released today).
Tests with just released cairo 1.12.8 on OS X 10.7.4 (X11 and Quartz cairo surface backends with Inkscape 0.48.3.1 and Inkscape 0.48+devel r11861) gave me these results:
- not fixed: outline view mode still renders invisible affects current stable 0.48.3.1 and trunk
I can confirm the problem still exists in trunk.
- AFAICT fixed (since 1.12.8): rendering artifacts with stroked curves affected trunk [3]
I can confirm that this is fixed. With another bug fix, my cairo arcs (formerly extrapolated) line-join branch now works as expected.
