Hello all, Well, the wiki for the new open clipart project has been activated. Please spend some time looking over the content, and adding your own. Instructions for getting account access for the wiki are at the URL below. Anyone interested in the project should head on over to the site and get added to the mailing list. http://freedesktop.org/Software/clipart or http://clipart.freedesktop.org/ This project is at an early stage, but the Open Office.org (OO.o) development community and various SVG editor camps are merging together (basically) to create this project. OO.o has 20-30 million users! If you are into this type of project and/or want to get in on the ground floor and help shape the future, then you should jump in now... Thanks, Jon -- Jon Phillips Graduate Researcher Visual Arts Department PO BOX 948667 LA JOLLA, CA USA cell.858.361.2811 jon@...87... http://www.rejon.org

Pre-announce: Release 0.38
by Bryce Harrington 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Hi guys, We've not formally announced it yet, but if you'd like an early look, the Inkscape 0.38 release is official. All we're waiting on before the formal announce is to create the RPM's, EXE's, etc. If you're comfortable installing from source, the official tarball is now available for download. If not, keep your eyes on the download page for newly minted packages, and help us test 'em out. Also, we're welcoming new screenshots for this release, so if you've got something cool to show off using some of the new features, post a screenshot and we'll get it up on the site! Bryce ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2004 00:09:14 -0700 (PDT) From: Bryce Harrington <bryce@...69...> To: inkscape-devel@...84... Subject: [Inkscape-devel] Release 0.38 Tonight the 0.38 release was made and CVS tagged. Congratulations everyone, this release embodies a great wealth of contributions from an impressive number of people, providing users with a significant advance over the previous release. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes038 The 0.38 tarball is available on the SourceForge download page. Packagers may now use this to generate packages. Either post the files on SourceForge, or simply announce them here and ask an admin to post them. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438 As before, we are allocating a few days for packaging before we make the official announcements, so that when the announce goes out, we have sufficient breadth of packages for interested users. With tonight's release, the feature freeze is finished, and so developers are encouraged to merge branches, apply patches, and set forth on new development as desired. Enjoy!

bugs??
by Richards Mail 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Hi, Wanted to thank Bryce for turning me onto the Ishmal's index of updated functioning Inkscape progs. I have a few questions and maybe a bug report.. I tried to save the SVG's as either Inkscape or regular SVG's and regardless of which I click on all Mozilla does is load up endless browser windows with nothing to show. I think when I finally killed Mozilla I had about 50 instances of it and it was going to continue. Irfanview can't open them up either "unknown file format" is all it tells me. Draw12 opens it but it's flawed and RealDraw-Pro 3 opens it up but all color and fill effects and alpha is all gone. Just a bunch of gray squares! So is the save SVG not quite there yet or is there some thing that I'm not doing right?? Any way to Align objects, like center them?? Besides building in alpha are there plans to create transparency effects seperate from the color fills?? Many thanks!! Keep on cookin'!! Richard ;-)~ Peace and prayers http://www.ramwolffsworld.com/RAMWolffsWorld

roadmap 0.39
by Jonathan Phillips 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Also, I think we should look at in this next release cycle the big picture of upcoming releases, evaluate other similar apps and think about what is necessary in our app (which is picking up serious steam). I will try and spend an afternoon evaluating and moving ideas from the feature proposals and scratchpad to RFEs... Thoughts?

test, test, test
by bulia byak 06 Apr '04

The last big patch (thanks Adib!) is in, and we're in deep freeze intending to release in the coming days. Please everyone try to do as much testing, tweaking, abusing Inkscape as possible. There may still be crashes lurking in the woods - catch them and display proudly. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

Pattern fill + arrows
by Peter Polinak 04 Apr '04

04 Apr '04

Hi! I use Inkscape 0.38cvs, and I cannot find any pattern fill features, however on the homepage I could find some screenshots of the 0.37 version (6th, 7th and 9th pictures from above), on which one can clearly see that in the Fill and Stroke dialog, there are two extra options beside "No Paint", "Paint", "Linear Gradient" , and "Radial Gradient" . I guess these are some kind of Pattern Fill features. Where do they come from, and why do I not have them?? The question is the similar regarding the 4th picture from above in the 0.37 screenshots : There is a "Stroke Style" dialog, clearly with arrows! I don't have such a feature in my version! >From where do these features come from, why do I not have, and how could I have them? Thanks for your answer! Regards, Peter Polinak user
