Thanks for this new release. It's great to have such a lively development.

Two questions: - I can't find linux autopackages anywhere (the latest one I have is 0902, and I wanted to see if the stable release still crashes on my machine) ; - I remember a discussion about it on the list, but I'm not sure if anybody has Inkscape running on Windows 98SE (2nd edition) or if it's even supported. If not, does anyone remember what the version where it was still working is?

Thanks a lot, Loïc

Inkscape 0.44.1 Unleashed :: Download Now :: Inkscape.org

The Inkscape community announced the release of Inkscape 0.44.1 today. This bugfix version fixes several weeks of work by the community in order to fix some crashes on windows, Mac OS X, and other packaging issues which have come up from our last successfule release, 0.44 which introduced substantial features like graphical layers, clipping and masking support, and native PDF export with transparency.

Here is a full list of bug fixes in this version:

 * fix a crash on Windows ("python.exe can't find msvcrt71.dll") by
   providing that dll in the package;
 * fix hang in page size widget * on Mac OS X, removed problems with
 home folder path names
   containing spaces;
 * inkscape now finds libpng include headers on some systems where it
   previously failed to do so
 * several changes to allow compiling on glib-2.4 systems (e.g.
   RHEL4);
 * allow compiling on systems with incomplete boost library headers;
   recognize if boost is too old
 * inkscape now compiles with gcc-4.2.x.  * fixed a bug where stderr
 output from scripts was not shown * fixed a bug affecting the recent
 files menu * resolution information is now saved in exported PNG
 files * fix some ODG export bugs * fix dia import * fix several
 include issues affecting building on Solaris
   (there are still some more problems, at least under Solaris 8,
   and similar ones on OpenBSD)
 * added missing German version of the advanced tutorial and made
   corrections to the calligraphy one; added missing Czech, German,
   and Brazil-Portuguese tutorials to tarball; added missing German
   keytable to tarball
 * applied changes to the German and Spanish translations of Inkscape
   strings
 * interactivity improvements at high zooms * fix for specifying
 CSS colors with percentages * re-enabled old PDF exporter alongside
 the new one * minor fixes to new PDF exporter (a major overhaul is
 still in the
   works)
 * fixup for invalid "s odipodi" namespace which has become
   widespread in Inkscape documents
 * Mac OS X packaging updates * miscellaneous build fixes

About Inkscape

Inkscape is an open source drawing tool that uses the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) scalable vector graphics format (SVG). Some supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons' metadata, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, text-in-shape, and SVG XML editing. It can also import EPS, PostScript, and most bitmap formats, and exports PNG, PS, PDF and various vector formats.

Inkscape's main motivation is to provide the Open Source community with a fully W3C compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool. Additional work includes conversion of the codebase from C/Gtk to C++/Gtkmm, emphasizing a lightweight core with powerful features added through an extension mechanism, and maintaining a friendly, open, community-oriented development process.
