This release brings the exciting new features developed by the Google Summer of Code 2006 participants, as well as tons of other improvements across the board. Here are the highlights: * Gaussian blur is the first SVG filter supported by Inkscape. You can blur any object to any extent - yet it remains vector and fully editable. This gives a huge boost to Inkscape as a creative art tool. * Display speed and interactivity: not only does Inkscape render faster, but it can now respond to user input before it finished redrawing the screen, which greatly improves the interactivity of the program. * History dialog makes it easy to to review your editing session and jump to any step of it, undoing and redoing multiple actions with one click. * Several important tool features are added, notably the new selection mode in Node tool and the adjustable rounded caps in Calligraphic pen. * Bitmap tracing works better for multi-color traces, sports a redesigned dialog and several new options. * Many new extension effects are added, including Color effects and Pattern along path. * The Outline mode has got many fixes and improvements, including a keyboard shortcut. * Several new commands in Help menu open various Inkscape-related pages in your default browser, making Inkscape reference information more accessible as you work. * Dozens of smaller features are added throughout the program, and hundreds of bugs are fixed. |
