Inkscape 1.3 beta0 ===================
Inkscape 1.3 beta0 is now available for testing for all three supported operating systems (Linux, macOS, Windows)!
Being a pre-release, this version is not intended for production use, but to help us smooth out any issues that should not show up in the actual release this summer.

When testing, please try out the major upcoming features, such as:
* Shape builder * On-Canvas Pattern Editing * Pattern Editor * Page margin & bleed * Document Resources Dialog * Return of Search, opacity & blend modes in Layers & Objects dialog and the (now optional) persistent snap bar * Font Collections * Syntax highlighting in XML Editor * LPE dialog user interface redesign * Improved performance thanks to fully asynchronous, multithreaded rendering * Better PDF import
