Inkscape 0.47 brings a host of important improvements all across the program:
* Timed autosave: no more lost work
* Spiro splines: an exciting new way to work with paths, fully supported in
Pen, Pencil, and Node tools
* Auto smooth nodes: a new type of node that keeps the path as smooth as
possible as you move it or its neighbors
* New modes in Tweak tool: pushing and jittering whole objects,
scaling/rotating objects, deleting and duplicating using the "soft brush"
* Reworked, much more usable snapping system and a Snapping toolbar
* New path effects, including sketch, hatching, envelope deformation; effects
can be stacked and assigned to groups
* A huge collection of preset filters in the new Filters menu
* New cairo-based PS and EPS export: improved quality, more features
supported, fallback rasterization for filters and transparency
* Spell checker for text objects in a document
* Many new extensions: restacking, calendar, printing marks, cartesian and
polar grids, interpolating attributes
* Optimized SVG code options, now with their own Preferences page
with color profiles to implement caching): pass NULL (which disables
the cache), depend on new poppler headers and bump PKGREVISION
(While this is a poppler API change, it is in an unofficial interface,
so inkscape just gets what it deserves.)
problem reported by Tobias Nygren
Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.
Discussed and ok'd in thread starting at
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2009/06/30/msg003546.html
to fix the bug where the colors slider doesn't move past value 245 when
using GTK>=2.14.0.
Also include desktopdb.mk as told by pkglint. Bump PKGREVISION.
