Fwd: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape 0.92pre4 released
Forwarding Bryce's message, see below.
Additional: Can anyone provide a screenshot of some nice use of a gradient mesh? We could use some for the release notes, news article and for the Inkscape website's screenshot section.
Please licence as CC-By-SA or Public Domain. As website upload is currently defunct, if the file size is too large for this list, please either use a bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web, the Wiki (if you've got access) or a file hosting site for uploading.
Thank you!

The 0.92pre4 source package has been released and can be downloaded from Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/inkscape/0.92.x/0.92pre4I tried to upload it to the inkscape.org website, but kept getting a server error. Hopefully Martin can investigate and get the source package properly uploaded there too. :-)
This pre-release incorporates bugfixes for the recently added mesh gradient feature, tidies up build options, adds the official about screen, and includes numerous backports and translation updates.
From what I can see, the reaction to the mesh gradient feature has been
quite positive, and particularly with the serious attention given to fixing issues that have been raised, there seems to be little reason not to ship it in our final release. I remain open to feedback to the contrary, but at this time I suggest we proceed under the assumption that it will be part of the release. Meanwhile, please do try the feature out and help us advocate for its adoption by web browsers and other SVG using applications.
Please try to avoid making any further changes on the 0.92.x tree - consider it in final freeze before release. The one exception being translations - the mesh gradient changes were allowed to break string freeze, so due to that we'll be giving permission to translators for breaking this final freeze. Ideally, I'd like to see no other changes to the 0.92.x branch prior to release; so if you have a change you would like to see included, please run any and all changes by me first (with justification) before landing them.
Packagers are encouraged to prepare binary packages for the platforms we support.
Thanks, Bryce

so guessing this is NOT easy to install yet?
managed to get it unzipped to a tar file but not sure how I go on from there - and I'd like to keep ink91 if possible whilst I try this out.

Hi Gary,
if you're on Linux, compiling is easy enough, and keeping 0.91 is possible, too, see https://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started/#building-inkscape-linux and ask for help on the list or in the IRC channel.
On Windows, compiling seems to have lots or prerequisites that all need to be installed separately, pulling them from different websites. So if you're a Windows user, you may need to wait for the precompiled binaries, or use the pre3 version that is already available on the website (but the unit conversion isn't in it, and mesh has received a couple of updates).
For OS X, there are currently no builds available. I don't know if anyone has it working on OS X at the moment.
Regards, Maren

Oops, I put I'm on widows, guess I did that trick where you select and overtype text and not notice (grrr)
guess I'll just have to wait. is there some place we can find a list of what has changed/new features between ink91 and ink92? be interesting as I use it with my digital cutter (18inch silver bullet) and can see if it has things I'd use or not.
