Screenshot Needed
by Bryce Harrington 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

Does anyone have a good idea for a new screenshot for our Freshmeat page? http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/inkscape/ IIRC, we generally change them each release, and try to make it something that reflects the newly added feature(s). It would be great if someone could work up a really artistically attractive one for this release! :-) If you've got something good, post it here. I think Ted has updated the screenshot before, so I think he may be the one that'll select what goes up. Bryce

Project Status 2004-07-01
by Bryce Harrington 01 Jul '04

Project Status - Thursday, July 1, 2004 We're in the final stages for the 0.39 release. Development work is tapering down as feature implementation work is completed or wrapped up for the release. We will be gradually "freezing" development, as follows: * June 28 - 'Feature chill' - no new features are started. Developers start wrapping up feature work and focusing on bug fixing. * July 5 - 'Feature freeze' - only bug fixing to occur after this point. Our goal is to eliminate critical bugs. * TBD - 'Hard freeze' - short period with no changes except under careful change control. We test the releases, and once we get one all we really like... * Release You can notice the fruits of the recent code cleanup in the reduction of code lines, while increasing comment line counts. The bug ratio, at 19%, has remained consistently low since our bug hunt; our feature ratio has also remained fairly constant since the start of the year, at around 75%. We've begun tracking stats on translations in this report; we hope to see both the translation ratio and the total number of PO files grow higher.

Fwd: [Inkscape-devel] Re: slovenian files for inkscape
by bulia byak 29 Jun '04

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: bulia byak <buliabyak@...155...> Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 15:35:08 -0300 Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Re: slovenian files for inkscape To: Mostafa Hussein <mostafa@...168...> Cc: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net > Attached is an SVG file that contains the phrase "Inkscape writes arabic" in Tahoma font. Thank you. I added the same in Russian and put the file as i18n.svg to share/examples. The samples are now shown in two generic fonts, Sans and Serif. Now we need more languages there! In a few hours, when the file shows up in http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape/share/examples/ and anyone can download it, please add a phrase in _your_ language, and send it to the list or upload to the patch tracker. Non-Latin languages (Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese etc) and languages with diacritic marks are especially welcome. Please don't use any special fonts; just add your text as new lines to the same two text objects, so that Pango does automatic font substitution on its own based on Unicode characters you are using. This should work for all languages; if something does not work, submit a bug. Thanks in advance!

[Inkscape-devel] 0.39pre2 (fwd)
by Bryce Harrington 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 01:05:14 -0700 From: Ted Gould <ted@...10...> To: Inkscape Devel List <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [Inkscape-devel] 0.39pre2 https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=991… It exists, it is alive! It will most definitely not be the final release, but it is a good point to start beating up Inkscape. This is not for general use, but more for people who follow the development of Inkscape (being subscribed to this e-mail list is a good start :) I went ahead and put it in the SF file area with a big nasty note to scare away casual users. I think that it is as good of place as any... thoughts are welcome. --Ted

Locked objects
by Adam Pearson 26 Jun '04

26 Jun '04

Hi all I discovered today that you can edit a locked object - size, shape, position colour of fill and stroke, alpha value (but not position), copy ... maybe other things ... while keeping it locked. Just TAB to the object and do the adjustments. Maybe everyone knows this if so my apologies. Regards, Adam

Pango testing - help needed!
by bulia byak 26 Jun '04

26 Jun '04

As you know, we recently switched our text system to a new library called Pango. Now that some of the worst bugs and regressions are fixed (definitely not all), and we need your help in testing it thoroughly. 1. Here are the confirmed Pango niceties so far (i.e. what is tested and works): - Text is much smoother. No more ugly autohinting gaps between letters in small sizes. Letters move smoothly when you change letterspacing by Alt+< and Alt+>. - Auto kerning pairs (from the font) now work. For example "AV" will now be kerned together automatically in most decent fonts. - On Windows, non-ASCII text works (tested with Cyrillic). Localized font face names (such as "italic" translated into a local language for Windows fonts such as Arial) are no longer a problem. 2. Here is what SHOULD work now but is not yet tested because we don't speak these languages. This is where we need your help: - Right-To-Left text (Hebrew, Arabic) and BIDI (bidirectional mixed text) seems to work but I'm not sure. - Contextual letterforms that depend on the position in a word and script-specific ligatures (Devanagari) should work. - Chinese and Japanese need testing, especially for how good vertical text works (it is enabled by a button in the Text and Font dialog). 3. And finally the things that don't work (yet): - Symbol fonts seem to have problems, at least the symbol.ttf from Windows. Any help or insights is appreciated. - Fuzzy font matching that worked in 0.38 is not reenabled yet. (No warnings on font substitutions, etc.) Only Italic and Bold faces within a family work so far. This is being worked on. So, grab the latest CVS and play with text as much as you can. We're interested to hear any reports, positive as well as negative.

Why default fill-opacity value is 0.75? In W3C SVG Specification default value is 1.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#OpacityFillOpacityProperty --------------------------------------------------- http://spalah.souceforge.net
