The official 0.40 tarball is now posted, and is available for download here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 The Release Notes describing the changes are available here: http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes At this time we are requesting all packagers to create and post packages for the release. Formal announcements for the release will be delayed until Monday evening in order to give a little time for packages to be created and tested. We are also encouraging everyone to assist with the PR push to get word out about this release. If you're interested in writing an article on a topic related to Inkscape, this would be an excellent time to do so. Bryce

Feature request
by Claus Cyrny 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi, while working with Inkscape (0.39) over the last weeks, I realized that I am still missing a few features: 1. The possibility to repeat patterns (x times) along a circle (path). 2. The possibility to store color values somewhere. Otherwise, Inkscape is really marvellous (the most intuitive vector program I have used so far). Keep up the good work!

Final release candidate for Inkscape 0.40
by Bryce Harrington 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hi All, Tonight we are entering the 'Hard Freeze', the very last phase before the final tagging and branching of 0.40, which is planned for tomorrow evening. Ted has created the final release candidate, 0.40pre5, which is now available from the website. Testing is essentially complete, however we're encouraging people to give the release a quick review. We're looking for silly mistakes like forgetting to update the version number, packaging problems, and major show-stopper bugs. But also add anything else you find to the bug tracker, and we can sort those issues out during the next development cycle. During this Hard Freeze phase, we're going to let the dust settle a bit, do a once-over, and then proceed with packaging and delivering the release. As with all prior releases, once it's cut we need to switch into marketing mode, in order to get the word out. This is where Inkscape users can make a big contribution. We want to get word out on all the major blogs, articles into relevant online magazines, and word of mouth to friends and family. Stay tuned. :-) Bryce >From MAILER-DAEMON Sun Nov 28 04:17:38 2004 Date: Sun, 28 Nov 2004 12:32:08 +0000 Message-Id: <10411281232.AA16385605@...340...> Mime-Version: 1.0 From: "Postmaster" <postmaster@...340...> To: <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net> X-Mailer: <SMTP32 v8.14> X-Spam-Score: -3.7 (---) X-Spam-Report: Spam Filtering performed by sourceforge.net.

Hey Greg, Here is what looks like should install for OS X. It seems that the OS X installer does not exist, but ways to install it using two packaging systems on OS X do exist. Mac OS X using DarwinPorts: http://inkscape.darwinports.com/ Mac OS X using Fink (http://fink.sf.net/) There are current installer versions for windows here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/Inkscape-0.39-1.win32.exe?downl… and you can get other versions here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 In terms of an easy to use DMG package for OS X, it appears that this does not exist currently. I am going on a hunt for this and am going to try and get one generated or do myself. This needs to exist for Mac OS X!

File Dialog in windows
by Kieran Wyse 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

I have only recently come across Inkscape am very impressed by the software it is very natural and easy to use. I am using Inkscape 0.4 something I know this is still being developed but Inkscape 0.39 does not seem to work with the graphics tablet I am using. The only criticism I would have is with the file dialog that does not show the network directories in windows. In 0.39 the file dialog seems fine. I download the most up to date exe file but I still don’t know how to get to the networked files. I am not sure if this is a development request or a bug or I am simply not using the dialog correctly. P.s. I hope that I am posting to the correct news group.

Help Needed: Web content contributor
by Bryce Harrington 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Heya, Would anyone be interested and willing to commit to helping update the content on the Inkscape website? The website's been vital to Inkscape's success, yet we're a bit short staffed at the moment; those of us who have maintained the website have also been getting into doing coding more, so we've spent less attention on it than we did in the past. If you're looking for an important way you can contribute to the project other than coding, and you like putting stuff on websites, this'd be a great way to participate in the project. Basically, the job requires staying in tune with what developers are working on (via the inkscape-devel@ list), and posting news blurbs to the homepage to the Inkscape homepage to keep people up to date on happenings. In addition, the site could use fleshing out more, with new examples of Inkscape in use, more documentation, and so forth. The work requires that you're comfortable using basic HTML and know how to check stuff into and out of CVS. The dynamic parts of the site are done using PHP, so knowledge of PHP is a plus, but not really necessary. I'm also looking for someone who's been with the project for a while (even if you've just been asking questions or submitting bug reports so far). If you're interested, reply to me privately with your SourceForge user id, background, and level of interest. Bryce

Announce: Change to Inkscape Wiki
by Bryce Harrington 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Everyone, Due to rampant spammer abuse of the Inkscape wiki, we've been forced to make a change to its usage. >From now on, whenever you edit a page, you must also type in the word 'NOSPAM' into a new entry box at the bottom of the page. If you do not, an error message will display; you can click back and add the NOSPAM and resubmit. This change will fake out the spammers, because their spambots won't know to do this step, so will be blocked. Possibly the spammers will catch on to this defense; if so, we'll invent new countermeasures. Thanks go to Kees Cook for implementing this for us. :-) I apologize for the inconvenience of doing this; I know it's a hassle, but if it eliminates the hassle of having to revert pages and delete spam in order to use the wiki, I think it will be worth the trade. If not, and you have an idea for a better solution, please let me know.

Re: Inkscape-user digest, Vol 1 #238 - 1 msg

Hi everyone, I have been trying to compile Inkscape .40rc3 for about a week now with no luck. I keep getting dependency errors. I am trying to compile on both SuSE 9.0 and Fedora Core 3 with the same error...I am not at the computers right now, so I can't remember the exact error. The main problem is that I easily compiled .39 on the SuSE system, but I don't know what I am missing with .40 and the subsequent releases. What packages are needed when going from .39 to the future versions? Thanks, Lee

Cut segment from circle, extend bezier curves from cut points
by Jeff Kowalczyk 21 Nov '04

21 Nov '04

I have a logo I'm trying to reproduce in inkscape. The logo is based on two concentric circles, with segments removed and curves extending inward and outward around the circles. One extension extends both ways, so some sort of T-intersection with the curve will be necessary, or a second extension that runs into the first, collinear at the join. I've done a little experimenting, and I think I can eventually cut a circle-like path to remove a quarter segment, but then it isn't a circle anymore, with any node movements distorting the curvature. If possible, I want to lock the circular segments to their original curvature and center point. The segments to be removed are less than a quarter, so the endpoints need to move to less of an arc along the circle path. Here's an example of what I need to do (the logo doesn't look like this, but the cut-curve characteristics are similar) L R L xxxxxxx R L xxxx xxC R L xxx xx R L xx xx R L x xx R L x xxxx R L x <-xxxx R L x xx1xxx2xx R L x xxx C xx R L x x x x R L x <--xx x x R L x x x R L x x | R L xx xx V R L xxx xxx R L xxxx xxxx R L xxxxxxx R L R The curve x's represent the actual line drawing. The C's represent the points at which I would like to cut the circle and have the freedom to add bezier extensions. Extension '1' can have a smooth curving joint with the cut point. Extension '2' only need meet extension '1' collinearly, and more or less at a right angle to C. The L's and R's are only intended keep the mail client from mangling (hopefully). They line up on the left and right columns, respectively. On the second of the two circles, the two inward extending curves will have to be joined in a smooth intersection after some bezier curvature. Overlaying background-color circles to represent cutout arcs would be less than optimal, since I may want to do curved endcaps and drop shadows or other filtering (when supported) on the unified curve. Can anyone suggest to the newbie a good way to make a stable, easily manipulated construction of the above curve in inkscape-cvs? Thanks.

There was no problem untill today when suddenly, all the special carracters (ÅÄÖåäö) had changed to some other strange caracters. How can I fix this, so that I can continue to use ÅÄÖ It seems to be a problem only with this font. I tryed it in Open Office and it worked fine. /Pedro

For the benefit of the list, I'll explain what the problem was: Craig had several images in one SVG, and printing to PostScript was exporting all of them, not just the parts on the page. > One thing I've noted, however, is the useability of the program is > reduced by only having one SVG image within an Inkscape session. For example, > my diagrams are quite similar to each other, so I copy/paste objects from > one diagram to another.

Perhaps it would be more useable > by having a Tabbed feature in Inkspace for each open SVG file, allowing easy > modification to multiple SVG images.

[Announcing] SFMOMA: The Open-Source Paradigm, Thursday, November 18, 2004
by Jon Phillips 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hey all, I wanted to alert you to a panel I'm on next week in San Francisco. Needless to say it is going to be major PR in the art world for Inkscape and Open Clip Art Library. If anyone is in the area, it would be a great event to attend. I'm also excited because the number 2 person at creativecommons (under lessig) is on the panel. Please forward the following PR below: ### On Thursday, November 18, 2004, SFMOMA (www.sfmoma.org) presents: The Open-Source Paradigm ======================== A Panel Discussion & Reception Moderated by Linda Jacobson, featuring new media professor Greg Niemeyer (http://art.berkeley.edu/niemeyer/) from UC Berkeley, artist-developer Jon Phillips (www.rejon.org), and Creative Commons (www.creativecommons.org) assistant director Neeru Paharia. 7:00 p.m. in the Phyllis Wattis Theater Visual artists and sound artists who create with digital tools have started to embrace the community-based, open-source software approach that's revolutionized the computer industry. As a reaction to the restrictions of intellectual property rights, the Open Source Initiative provides free computer software via the Web and allows anyone to contribute software as long as the underlying source codes are visible and shared. Explorations of the creative applications of open-source promise to expand its use beyond software development. This panel discusses the conceptual basis for the open-source movement in the arts, its history, and legal issues and presents artistic projects incorporating open-source technology. A reception in The Schwab Room follows the program. $12 general; $8 SFMOMA members, students with ID, and seniors. Tickets are available at SFMOMA (with no surcharge) or online.

woo hoo!
by Ben Crowell 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

At the risk of making a post without any actual content, I just want to thank the Inkscape developers for all their hard work. Adobe Illustrator was my only reason for continuing to maintain a Mac, and I'm hopeful that I will soon be living my whole life the way God intended, with open-source software :-) It's really impressive that you folks have been able to maintain the kind of attention to craftsmanship that was the hallmark Sodipodi, while really putting the pedal to the metal in terms of features. BTW, does anyone have an ETA for 0.40? I'm running 0.38 on FreeBSD, and apparently the maintainer of the FreeBSD port is waiting for 0.40 before putting a new version in the FreeBSD ports system, since 0.39 was broken on FreeBSD. (I hear the Debian maintainer created a package from the latest prerelease version...? -- hint hint ;-)

Large EPS filesizes
by Craig Pearce 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi Trent, Thanks for the response. The SVG images I created (about 15) were all done in Inkspace, and saved into a single inkspace .svg file. The .svg is only 900KB... however when using inkspace to save each of the 15 images to EPS, they each take about 8MB. I'm not importing any raster images. I could export SVG images to PNG, then use imagemagic convert or gimp to go back to EPS however the resulting image is blocky due to vector->bitmap->vector process. I find it strange that an Inkspace-created SVG takes so much space in EPS when they are both vector based. Kind regards, JoeBlow Quoth Craig Pearce on or about 2004-11-15: > When I indivually place each image in the page, change > page size to match image size and print direct, I > choose various resolutions such as 72DPI, 300DPI etc. > The output filesize is the same no matter what DPI > setting I choose. PostScript and Encapsulated PostScript are vector-based formats, like SVG. Vector objects will simply be transformed, so the only change between DPI sizes will be the transformation matrix. PostScript can include raster images, but probably they also simply have a transform applied. > The issue is the size of the file, it is common for the > file to be 7MB which results in the latex-generated > postscript document being too large for me to email. Some suggestions are: * When importing raster images (e.g. JPGs), first reduce the resolution in e.g. the GIMP. * Look for ways to simplify the design of the vector parts. * You can import raster images directly into LaTeX, rather than going through Inkscape / SVG (the graphicx package).
