Inkscape 1.1 is the latest major release of Inkscape, following one year of development after the 1.0 major release.
The highlights of this release are: * A Welcome dialog, where the look of Inkscape can be selected, and some choices for the new document's size or file to open are available * A Command palette that opens when the '?' key is pressed, that allows to search and use many functions without having to use a keyboard shortcut or going through the menus * It is now possible to copy, cut and paste parts of paths with the Node tool * The dialog docking system has been rewritten, which resolves many issues with Inkscape's docked dialogs and allows you to dock dialogs on either side of the screen * New Outline Overlay mode that displays object outlines while also showing their real colors * Preferences options are now easier to find by using the new search field * It is no longer necessary to remember to click on 'Export' in the PNG Export dialog, as the exporting will already happen after the click on 'Save' in the file selection dialog. * Export as JPG, TIFF, optimized PNG and WebP directly from Inkscape * When pasting a copied object, Inkscape now pastes it directly on top of the currently selected object by default * An extension for updating extensions and installing additional extensions, called the Extension Manager (currently in beta stage)
We also introduced a long list of new features outlined in detail and illustrated at https://media.inkscape.org/media/doc/release_notes/1.1/Inkscape_1.1.html .

Thanks to everybody for their work (and labour of love: "geekiness" / neo-amateur : https://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/culture/case-for-commercial-fan-fictio... ; short URL: https://is.gd/A7rkAh )! I'd like to try building/testing it.
