Inkscape 0.46 Released!
The Inkscape community today is announcing the release of the newest version of its open source vector graphics editor. Inkscape 0.46 is a major update that introduces native PDF support. The implementation of PDF support in Inkscape provides an easy, open source solution to editing PDF documents.
Tons of new features and performance improvements are included in this release. Dialogs now have the ability to be docked to the editing window. Gradients can be edited completely on-canvas. The new Paint Bucket Tool fills bounded areas with color. A new 3D Box tool helps create perspective-correct drawings. A new Tweak tool provides an intuitive method for editing paths and painting objects. The new Live Path Effects feature can create "brushes" and various organic effects on paths. Improvements to color management include support for color spaces other than sRGB. Most SVG filters are now implemented, and a new powerful UI is provided for editing filter stacks.

Congratulations!
Is there a binary of 0.46 that will run on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)? The Leopard Universal binary implies not.

Woohoo! I will be submitting the news to DA once we have a win32 package and can update the downloads page. (unfortunately, da is a very win32 heavy community) Speaking of updating the downloads page, is it okay to begin the updating process?

Speaking of win32 heavy...when's it being posted to Slashdot?

What is the version number of Inkscape .46
When I click on the link for the windows version I get a Inkscape 045.1-1
Is this the correct version for 46? If not please post a link where I can find it. Thanks
Bibi,
Our Win32 packagers are working on kicking it out as fast a possible. Sorry about the inconvince.

Thanks to everyone.
Since I have a PowerPC I cannot download any of the pre-compiled packages, but I have downloaded the source and compiled it. Except for one glitch, which I think is a compiler bug, it compiled and installed cleanly.
The 3D Box tool is interesting but I think the Effects->Render->Gear... is more fun.
Once again, thanks everyone.

Try this :) 1. draw a (straight line) path with a couple of knots 2. press ctrl+shift+7 ("&") (opens Live Path Effect dialog) 3. apply the Gear effect 4. press F2 and drag knots around and see what happens :-)
Cheers, Johan

Thanks, you have just wasted my next three days; I don't know how I'm every going to get any work done :) Some things are best left undiscovered!

Question: do I need newer libraries than those that work with 45? I use Slackware Linux with many libraries imported from an SUSE partition. Libraries have always been a bear with Inkscape and Slack.

Works good on Hardy beta. Thanks for the new quickness and PDF capability.
