Hello everybody,
Thanks to the repeated efforts of John Faith, the latest version of Inkscape now seems to run on OS X 10.3 aka. Panther. Many Panther users reported some bugs and were disappointed that the new 0.45 release left them behind. These cruel days are hopefully over! A build is available in Inkscape's development builds repository: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/?C=M;O=D [pick Inkscape-20070504-10.3.dmg]
This build is made from a recent SVN snapshot so it has more features (and potentially more bugs also ;) ) than the 0.45 release. The application is also larger than usual (>100Mb) because it is not stripped from debugging symbols.
Currently John is still struggling to complete a compile from a fresh start. Once this is sorted out and once this first build gets some testing, we'll provide a more official build (maybe a 0.45.2 if this is ever planned to happen).
Thank you for your patience and thanks again to John who made this happen.
