Hi Alexandre,
thanks for the feedback, I was wondering if some of the features I was reading about were actually going to be included as there wasn't any sign of them in the devel version of Inkscape. I will refine my ToDo list based on your comments and then send it back in to the group.
Regards,
John

After my last talk with Joshua about updating the manual for the .47 release, I came across the pending release notes for .47. Using these I made a list of updates or modifications that should be made to existing or new chapters so the manual will line up with version .47.
This is perfectly fine. We reused released notes a lot during 1st stage of work on the manual :)
Interface Update info on toolbars. (new toolbar, toolbars are resizeable...etc)But make the snapping options toolbar section short there. It's better to still have a separate section on snapping IMO :)
SVG Fonts? (don't know if this would have high enough use to add)I can add this information, but first we need to be sure that this will go to 0.47. It looks like this is a broken feature due to some bugs in a third party library (Cairo).
Organising Objects Layers Chapter needs updating.
Before you do this, we need to revert a cosmetic change in UI :)
Add Chapters For some of the new effects. e.g. Sketch, Hatches, von Koch, Knot, Perspective Paths, SpiroSplines, Envelope and lattice deformations...etc
Not all of the ones mentioned in release notes will be in 0.47.
SVG Filters Maybe talk about new and improved extension in this section. e.g. Arrange>Restack, Modify Path>Add nodes, Printing>Add Printing Marks, Render>3D Polyhedron, Render>Alphabet soup...etc (Because there are so many, I would recommend adding them all under one chapter rather than as individual chapters.)
SVG Filters should be separate from Extensions
Advanced Input Devices/Device Configuration??
Nothing has changed there for 0.47. The new dialog won't be released this time.
Updates to the inkscape preferences dialogue??Yep
Colour ManagementDidi we have any changes there? IIRC even the Win32 bug wasn't fixed.
General notes and Topics I'm not sure where to add. Review all chapters for references to the effects/Extensions menu
Yes
Linked bitmaps update – where to add – should there be a working withbitmaps section, which could include the tracing bitmaps chapter.
Good point
Object Properties now include Title/Description/Interactivityattributes. - where to add?
I wish I knew. Lemme think more.
Note around exporting of blured objects – which should now include allof the blur and not accidentally cut it off. (under working with files or filters??)
Working with files, in my opinion
Thank you very much for your work!
Alexandre
