Actually I missed 1.0 info, because banner says 0.92 + devel, so I thought that master is on 0.92 and 1.0 must be in some other branch. I also missed those huge black buttons - really didn't expect Linux to be a navigational menu, so I clicked "All platforms" gray button, which gives this page:
https://inkscape.org/release/master/platforms/

As you see, the versions listed here are badly outdated for master, and there is no info at the page footer about how and when this page was generated.
I don't see any code that pushes --edge snap on each build in https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml
I will probably go with PPA version, but it would be nice to know how these two issues can be fixed: 1. outdated website info with no link back to the sources and build log 2. missing snap versions

Hi Anatoly,
I suspect you must have gotten to the page you mention via https://inkscape.org/release/master/ ?
The text on that page there mentions 1.0.
Clicking on the 'snap' option after clicking on the 'Gnu/Linux' option gives me a text that explains how to install the latest master with snap.
I agree that the version number that is chosen for the current master branch is not intuitive. I think it just has this number because it has always been like that - release new version, append 'devel' to the version number. I'd probably choose to 'release new version - increase number - append 'devel''.
You can find the option for the ppa on the 'Gnu/Linux' overview page mentioned above, or you can compile Inkscape yourself, for example following these instructions, if you want to keep your 'normal' Inkscape and also have a menu icon for the other version: https://gitlab.com/Moini/make_ink.

Hi again.
https://inkscape.org/release/master/platforms/ doesn't mention upcoming 1.0 at all, and I don't see there an easy way to use development builds in Ubuntu 18.10. Like PPA or better snap.
✗ sudo snap info inkscape ... snap-id: tIrcA87dMWthuDORCCRU0VpidK5SBVOc channels: stable: 0.92.3 (4274) 177MB - candidate: 0.92.3 (4349) 180MB - beta: ↑ edge: 0.92+devel (4265) 192MB -
For this snap I'd expect the serial number for edge to be higher than stable, and that means the snap is not updated. So is there any other recommended (which means user friendly in this context) to check latest development versions of Inkscape to give a quick feedback?
