Hi everyone,
I need your help to update the "The next Release" page on our website. After receiving confirmation from Bryce, I've already cleaned it out and added a little intro text for 0.92: https://inkscape.org/en/develop/next-release/ .
suv kindly provided me with a tentative list for the most important changes which will (probably) find their way into 0.92. I would like to ask you to help me sort through this list, and make additions, so the two sections in the lower part of the page can be filled again.
Only important features / bug fixes should go there, and only those which are quite certainly going to be in 0.92 (page will be translated, and hopefully won't need to be changed too often).
Some are also mentioned on the Wiki page for 0.92 here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92 (google cache can be used until it's up again).
This is the list I got from suv: (and can someone explain what 'Selection sets' are? Something like a group without grouping, even over different layers?)
Inkscape 0.92 =============
New features: * Units: internal resolution switched to 96dpi * Templates: cleanup, new procedural templates * Objects dialog * Selection sets * New patheffects (see release notes) * Mesh gradient tool * SVG 2 features: e.g. for markers ('auto-start-reverse', 'context-stroke', 'context-fill') (ask Tav what else is new in trunk i.e. not already in 0.91) * ...
New features in progress (branches not merged yet): * Enhanced mirror and rotate_copies patheffects * New transform_by_two_points patheffect * Flatten overlapping and clipped objects (useful for plotting or PostScript export) * ...
Notable bug fixes: * correct handling of parent transforms (on groups, layers) for clones * improved performance for (de-)selecting a large number of nodes * EMF/WMF fixes (clipping, text position) * fixes for rendering caching * ...
