Apologies if this has been posted already, I haven't been keeping up with the list of late. But I thought those of you tracking the progress of the native GTK+ port to OSX might be interested in the following blog post from Mikael Hallendal from Imendio.

This is good news, as although it looks like the port still has some way to go before it is production ready, getting a framework build out there will greatly simplify testing apps like Inkscape and finding bugs.
that's good news indeed. Some people already got Inkscape to compile and run natively on OS X quite smoothly, through MacPorts. I don't know what the Framework will look like and what it will contain. I guess some dependencies of Inkscape will probably be missing so we'll need to provide them otherwise and I'm curious how the two (framework + macports probably) will interact. Anyway that's good news indeed. 0.47 will be the release of OSX integration for Inkscape.
