Hey Everyone!

Event: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/1/ Attending: Martin, Marc, Philip, Mikekov Next Event: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/64/

Martin is eliminating direct access to the cairo surface raw. Philip and Martin talked at length about the Surface API, how to render CMYK, how to deal with speed problems and some different parts of the code and functionality. Some ways in which the cleanup will hopefully open us up to replacing cairo, but maybe not, it depends.

Philip has been porting UI extensions to GTK4, including Extensions manager and clip art importer, there's been some issues with the CI which needs to be updating. And working on the start screen lifecycle manager, it's currently held up with testing. He wants to ask Adam for testing but Martin is happy with the testing so far.

Mikekov has been looking into the object properties dialog for text, which is a lot more involed than expected.

Marc has been looking at the launchpad builds and why they seem to fail. There are test for the cms profile test. The team spend the rest of the meeting investigating the test failures so we can keep things moving.

Philip wants to know if the Linux CI job, he wants to to merge it with the AppImage job to save space and CI time. Marc says that the Linux job is a normal build and the AppImage used to have some special sauce, Philip wants to check if this is still true. One builds in a debug and the other builds in release mode. We have decided to remove the linux build. The website releases app will be updated when it is done.

Thanks for reading.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
