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)
inkscape: updated to 1.0.2
Inkscape 1.0.2
This is a bugfix release:
- More granular controls for canvas zooming and rotation
- Fixes extensions popping up when a clipboard manager was used
- Several crashes fixed
Changelog:
1.0.1 Release highlights
Selectors/CSS dialog is now available
Experimental color-managed PDF export through Scribus
Many crash fixes and bugs fixed
Selectors and CSS dialog
The Selectors and CSS dialog that was hidden and labelled as
'experimental' in Inkscape 1.0 is now available from the Object
menu in 1.0.1. This new dialog allows users to edit a CSS stylesheet
for the document and also to select all objects with a certain CSS
selector, thus providing a replacement for the Selection Sets
dialog, that had to be removed for Inkscape 1.0. Scribus PDF export
An experimental PDF export extensions was added that uses Scribus
1.5.5+ if it can be found in the path. You'll need to use a color
profile in the SVG file and make sure to double-check the exported
image, as there are many SVG features not supported by Scribus.

Inkscape 0.92.4 is a stability and bugfix release. It also brings some
notable performance improvements for filter rendering, measure tool,
extensions, document saving and moving paths (with a live path effect)
and includes a couple of small, but impactful usage improvements.
Development for the 0.92.2 release was focused primarily on fixing bugs
and regressions. Among hundreds of code commits are fixes that provide:
* Better importing and exporting of EMF/WMF files, PDF/PDF+Latex
documents, Visio Stencil files, and XML files
* Greater stability during printing on Windows
* Improved fill and stroke HSL color selection
* Greater stability when reverting and saving files
Among noteworthy feature and usability improvements are:
* An additional handle at the center of rectangles, circles/ellipses,
and stars, to allow quick and accurate alignment of these shapes with
other objects
* A command line option for updating the file's DPI value that allows for
easier processing of large file collections
* Improvements to user-defined shortcuts, including the acceptance of
previously restricted special characters
