When I saw this, I immediately went lookin' for a download.  I've only played with the new version for a couple of hours...but from the looks of things, it TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!!   Fantastic job, and thanks for making this wonderful piece of software available.  I really appreciate the development team's efforts.  I also appreciate that versions were available for all three platforms, Win, Mac, and Linux...tho looks like I will need to do a source compile on my linux box...or did I miss a precompiled binary somewhere?  I didn't look too closely, I just grabbed the mac version and the portable Win version (thanks especially for that!).  Meanwhile I can still use it on my mac and on Win at work.

Greeting to the community,

After over a year of intensive development and refactoring, Inkscape
0.47 is out. This version of the SVG-based vector graphics editor brings
improved performance and tons of new features, some of which are as
follows: Timed autosave, Spiro splines, Auto-smooth nodes, Eraser tool,
New modes in Tweak tool, Snapping toolbar & greater snapping abilities,
New Live Path Effects (including Envelope), A huge collection of preset
filters, New cairo-based PS and EPS export, Spell checker, Many new
extensions, Optimized SVG code options, and much more. Additionally, it
would be wrong to not mention the hundreds of bug fixes as well. Check
out the full release notes for more information about what has changed,
enjoy the screenshots, or just jump right to downloading your package
for Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.
