Firefox 1.0 Linux on Gentoo has SVG plugin installed by default!!!!!!!!
by Jon Phillips 03 Dec '04

Hello all, I just opened an svg file by accident in Firefox 1.0 just to find that it displayed properly in my browser!!! Upon closer inspection I thought that I had setup svg to display in inkview, but no, I looked in the MozillaFirefox plugin folder and found these: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5632 Nov 18 04:20 libmozsvgdec.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1368 Nov 18 04:20 libmozsvgdec.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8536 Nov 18 04:20 libmozsvgdec.so Thus, could you all check to see if the Mozilla SVG is provided with your Firefox 1.0 install? I am ecstatic with joy if this is installed by default on all Firefox 1.0 browsers, because that means we now have penetration into the world with SVG. I have just ruled out that I built my Gentoo install of Firefox with SVG, as it is not an option. Thus, the gentoo ebuild builds the SVG plugin by default. Hmmm...if you all could report if you have the SVG plugin on your install, it would be great to know to promote via our website. In the end, we have to consider that our app's usefulness will scale dramatically if SVG is adopted by more user's. As of now we are using more as a meta-format not much unlike Illustrator using AI as a default format for creating illustrations. With viewing of SVG files on the web, so much more will be possible.

Bryce, I tried several of the 0.40 release packages, but I did not find a Windows Executable file. Is there a .exe available for the 0.40 release yet? Thanks for all the hard work.

Announcing Inkscape 0.40 Release
by Bryce Harrington 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

= Inkscape 0.40 = 'Draw Freely' http://www.inkscape.org/ The Inkscape community is proud to announce the release 0.40 of Inkscape, "A Cross-platform Open Source Vector Graphics (SVG) Drawing Tool." This release includes three majorly requested new capabilities: Layers, Text-on-Path, and Bitmap tracing. In addition, there are many minor features, a number of usability enhancements, three new tutorials, and hundreds of bug fixes. This is by far the most feature-packed release the project has had. This is all due to the strong developers that have contributed countless hours on Inkscape 0.40. Following our last release four months ago, we have focused intensively on development, adding several new dependencies such as the Boehm garbage collector and the stable Gtk 2.4 libraries. Because of this, user's may encounter more trouble getting Inkscape installed on some platforms than in previous releases. To help those who run into this issue, we're also providing 'Static Binary' packages that include these new libraries inside the package, and thus, the static releases are very large. Download your packages: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 For many more details, see the Release Notes for 0.40: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes040 Community submitted screenshots: http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/
