Inkscape 1.1.1
--------------
This is a bugfix release:
- Pressure sensitivity should work again in Windows
- Stroke to path working on text again
- Startup time improved
- Fix various crashes
Much help provided by Nathan Lee in fixing a startup issue.
Inkscape 1.1 is the latest major Inkscape release that brings users
many fresh new features and new functionality.
The most notable changes include:
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 and 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)
