Inkscape 1.0 is a major milestone for the Inkscape project, following the update of our user interface toolkit GTK to GTK+3, which allows us to support custom theming and HiDPI screen resolutions, and to provide a native app for macOS (as a preview).
We also introduced a long list of new features outlined in detail and illustrated at https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/1.0 .
The highlights of this release are:
* Easier theming options * macOS support * HiDPI screen support * Rotating and mirroring of canvas * Alignment of object with on-canvas handles * Split view and X-Ray modes to inspect path geometry * Searchable symbols dialog * New live path effect selection dialog * PowerPencil Live Path Effect to draw variable width strokes with graphic tablets * Many new useful live path effects (corner rounding tool, offsets, measures...) * Performance improvements for path operations on large number of paths * Default coordinate origin has been moved to the top left * Improved text line-height support * Variable font support * Browser-compatible flowed text * Extensions now use Python 3
