# '''Method:''' select from<br />
## '''Auto ellipse:''' if the path contains 2...4 nodes (or points), a circle is created; if the path contains more than 5 nodes, an ellipse is created. Note, that a circle is properly defined with either 2 or 3 points and an ellipse requires at least 5 points.<br />
## '''Force circle:''' similar to Auto Ellipse, but now a circle is always fitted. Requires a path with at least 2 nodes.<br />
## '''Isometric circle:''' uses the first 2 edges to construct an isometric ellipse.<br />
## '''Perspective circle:''' uses the first 4 nodes to construct an ellipse representing the circle inside the square viewed under perspective.<br />
## '''Steiner ellipse:''' uses the first 3 nodes to construct an ellipse around the triangle. See also [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steiner_ellipse]<br />
## '''Steiner inellipse:''' identical to Steiner ellipse, however the ellipse is now inside the triangle.<br />
# '''Arc:''' (only applicable to '''Auto ellipse''' and '''Force circle''' methods) if checked, generates an (open) elliptic arc between the first and last node. Note, that for the fitting of the ellipse only the nodes of the input path count and not the order nor the form. So, going "backwards" is allowed. Just play by moving the nodes of the input path!<br />
# '''Other Arc side:''' (only enabled if '''Arc''' is checked) if checked, uses the opposite side for the arc (only has an effect when Arc is selected).<br />
# '''Slice Arc:''' (only enabled if '''Arc''' is checked) if checked, generates a sliced arc (only has an effect when Arc is selected).<br />
# '''Frame (isometric rectangle):''' if checked, generates an isometric rectangle &nbsp;– a frame &nbsp;– around the ellipse. Rotates according to '''Axes rotation''' parameter.<br />
# '''Axes:''' if checked, generates the (main) axes of the ellipse. Rotates according to '''Axes rotation''' parameter.<br />
# '''Perspective square:''' (only enabled if '''Perspective circle''' is used) if checked, generates the square viewed under perspective. Rotates according to '''Axes rotation''' parameter in the correct perspective.<br />
# '''Perspective axes:''' (only enabled if '''Perspective circle''' is used) if checked, generates the axes of the circle. Rotates according to '''Axes rotation''' parameter in the correct perspective.<br />
# '''Axes rotation:''' rotates the whole ellipse including the resulting nodes, frame and axes (unit: [deg]).<br />
# '''Source Path:''' if checked, generates the source path. This is useful for modifying the source path and hence the resulting ellipse.<br />

The icon preview dialog now correctly shows the page background (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1537497 1537497]). As a side effect, custom UI icons SVG files need updating to have their background color alpha channel set to 0 so that they display correctly (see Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1661989 1661989]).<br />
<br />
Improvements and fixes to the code for handling/restoring window size and position. The window manager handles most of the job now which should make it much more robust, but please report any potential regressions. [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/merge_requests/180]<br />
<br />
== Canvas ==<br />
<br />
=== HiDPI ===<br />
<br />
==== Icons ====<br />
[Please fill in]<br />
<br />
=== Canvas Rotation ===<br />
<br />
With <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+Scroll wheel</kbd> the drawing area can be rotated and viewed from different angles. In the bottom right corner of the Window, the viewing angle can be entered manually. Right-click to select between a set of preset values. Keyboard shortcuts for clockwise/counter-clockwise/no rotation can be set in the preferences.<br />
<br />
=== Canvas Mirroring ===<br />
<br />
The canvas can now be flipped, to ensure that the drawing does not lean to one side, and looks good either way.<br />
The vertical/horizontal flipping is available from the menu View > Canvas orientation > Flip horizontally / Flip vertically. Keyboard shortcuts for flipping the canvas can be set in the preferences.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Changed behavior of Stroke to Path ===<br />
<br />
The 'Stroke to Path' command now not only converts the stroke of a shape to path, but effectively splits it into its components.<br />
<br />
In the case of applying it to a path that only has a stroke, the behavior is unchanged.<br />
<br />
For paths that don't only have a stroke, but also a fill and/or markers, the result will be a group consisting of:<br />
* Stroke outline turned to path<br />
* Fill (if there was one)<br />
* A group of all markers (if applicable; one group per marker, consisting of its outline and its fill turned into a path)<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Path Operations ===<br />
<br />
Clones and Symbols are now automatically unlinked, before a Boolean operation (union, difference, etc.), or one of the Path operations 'Combine', 'Break apart', or 'Stroke to Path' is performed.<br />
<br />
A setting in the preferences at ''Behavior → Clones → Unlink Clones'' allows to disable the automatic unlinking.<br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
=== Pencil Tool ===<br />
<br />
==== PowerPencil ====<br />
<br />
Pressure sensitivity can now be enabled for the Pencil tool. This feature makes use of the PowerStroke Live Path Effect (LPE).<br />
<br />
New settings for the tool are available for tweaking the behavior of the PowerStroke LPE when it is being created with the Pencil tool (and a graphics tablet/stylus):<br />
* '''Use pressure input''' (in the tool controls bar): activates the PowerStroke feature, if a pressure sensitive device is available.<br />
* '''Min/Max''' (in the tool controls bar): determines the minimal and maximal stroke width (0 to 100%). This does not change the number of available pressure levels, but spreads them out in the available line width interval.<br />
* Additionally, the PowerStroke LPE itself has been improved, to better work when used in this new way, see [[#PowerStroke_LPE_Improvements|the section about LPE updates]].<br />
<br />
=== Eraser === <br />
<br />
New option to erase as clip, which allows to non-destructively erase (parts of) all kinds of elements, including raster images and clones.<br />
<br />
== Clipping / Masking ==<br />
<br />
Clip paths and masks now have an inverse mode in the menu, using the PowerClip and PowerMask LPEs<br />
<br />
<br />
== Live Path Effects ==<br />
<br />
=== Boolean Operations LPE ===<br />
<br />
Allows non-destructive boolean operations...<br />
<br />
=== BSPline and Spiro ===<br />
<br />
Improvements in Pen/Pencil mode. With "Alt", you can move the previous node.<br />
<br />
=== Clone original Improvements ===<br />
<br />
This path effect now allows various objects instead of only paths and is even more powerful.<br/><br />
Here's a video that shows how it works: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAJAxKNY8lA Clone Original Improvements]<br />
<br />
=== Embroidery Stich ===<br />
<br />
An LPE to handle embroidery...<br />
<br />
=== Fillet/Chamfer ===<br />
<br />
This new LPE adds fillet and chamfer to paths. Also adds a new internal class that allows to handle extra info per node, the LPE itself is an example of use the new classes.<br/><br />
Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJKzGhJULfc Fillet/Chamfer LPE]<br />
<br />
=== Measure Line LPE===<br />
<br />
This new path effect adds DIN and custom style measuring lines to "straight" segments in a path.<br/><br />
Here is a video that shows how it works: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppgt2GPm1IY Measure Line LPE]<br />
<br />
=== Mirror Symmetry and Rotate Copies LPE Split feature ===<br />
<br />
This new feature allows custom styles for each part of the resulting drawing without unlinking the LPE.</br><br />
Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIzrQ2lpzuw Mirror Symmetry and Rotate Copies LPE Split option]<br />
<br />
=== Power Clip and Power Mask LPE ===<br />
<br />
This new LPE adds options to clips and masks.<br/><br />
Video: [https://ia601501.us.archive.org/34/items/00003303/0000-3303.ogv PowerClip and PowerMask LPE]<br />
<br />
=== PowerStroke LPE Improvements ===<br />
<br />
The PowerStroke LPE dialog now offers two more settings to make:<br />
<br />
* '''Width scale''': adjust the overall width of the stroke after it has been drawn.<br />
* '''Set default parameters''': set default values for new PowerStroke paths.<br />
<br />
=== Ellipse from Points ===<br />
<br />
This new LPE allows the optimal fitting of a path's nodes to an ellipse.<br><br />
In contrast to the already existing LPE "Ellipse by 5 points" this LPE is more flexible (since, depending on the number of points available, it can fit both circles and ellipses) and has more features. Especially technical illustrators can benefit from these features.<br />
<br />
See [[LPE:_Ellipse_from_Points]] for a documentation.<br />
<br />
== Import / Export ==<br />
<br />
[Please fill in]<br />
<br />
<br />
== Extensions ==<br />
<br />
=== Extension development ===<br />
<br />
* All [[INX Parameters]] now have the common attribute <code>indent="n"</code> where <code>n</code> specifies the level of indentation in the extension UI.<br />
* Add <code>appearance="url"</code> for [[INX Parameters]] of type "description". You can now add clickable links to your extension UI.<br />
<br />
<br />
== SVG and CSS ==<br />
<br />
[Please fill in]<br />
<br />
== Dialogs ==<br />
<br />
=== Symbols ===<br />
<br />
* The Symbols dialog can now handle a lot of symbols without delay on startup, and also allows searching. Symbols and symbol sets now displayed in alphabetical order.<br />
<br />
=== Document Properties ===<br />
<br />
* When resizing the page, the page margin fields can now be locked, so the same value will be used for all margins, but only needs to be entered once.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Customization ==<br />
<br />
=== Customize all files in the share folder === <br />
<br />
All files in <code>/share</code> can be over-ridden by placing files in the user's configuration folder (e.g. <code>~/.config/inkscape</code>). <br />
Configurable contents now includes extensions, filters, fonts, gradients, icons, keyboard shortcuts, preset markers, palettes, patterns, about screen, symbol sets, templates, tutorials and some user interface configuration files. Only the file 'units.xml' cannot be overridden.<br />
<br />
=== Fonts ===<br />
<br />
* Inkscape can now load fonts that are not installed on the system. By default Inkscape will load additional fonts from Inkscape's share folder (<code>/share/inkscape/fonts</code>) and the user's configuration folder (<code>~/.config/inkscape/fonts</code>). Custom folders can be set in preferences (see ''Tools → Text → Font directories'').<br />
<br />
=== Keyboard shortcuts ===<br />
<br />
* Allow to use "Super", "Hyper" and "Meta" modifier keys<br />
* Improve shortcut handling code. This should fix a lot of issues and allow to use a lot of shortcuts which were inaccessible before, especially on non-English keyboard layouts.<br />
<br />
=== User interface customization ===<br />
<br />
* Inkscape is starting to use glade files for its dialogs so they can be reconfigured by users. Only one is currently supported (filter editor).<br />
* The contents of the menus can be configured by customizing the <code>menus.xml</code> file. <br />
* Toolbar contents for the command bar (<code>commands-toolbar.ui</code>), the snap bar (<code>snap-toolbar.ui</code>), the tool controls bars for each tool (<code>select-toolbar.ui</code>), the toolbox (<code>tool-toolbar.ui</code>) is now configurable.<br />
* The file <code>keybindings.rc</code> allows you to... '''(TODO: do what? What does it do in comparison to keys.xml?)'''<br />
* The interface colors and some more UI styles can be customized in <code>style.css</code> (very raw themeing support).<br />
<br />
== Inkview ==<br />
<br />
'''Inkview''' was considerably improved and got some new features:<br />
<br />
* Support folders as input (will load all SVG files from the specified folder)<br/>The <code>-r</code> or <code>--recursive</code> option will even allow to search subfolders recursively.<br />
* Implement <code>-t</code> or <code>--timer</code> option which allows to set a time after which the next file will be automatically loaded.<br />
* Add <code>-s</code> or <code>--scale</code> option to set a factor by which to scale the displayed image.<br />
* Add <code>-f</code> or <code>--fullscreen</code> option to launch Inkview in fullscreen mode<br />
* Many smaller fixes and improvements<br />
<br />
<br />
== Command Line ==<br />
<br />
* [[Using xverbs|xverbs]] (command line commands that take parameters, e.g. for saving the selection under a specified filename as svg file) ([https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/inkscape-devel/thread/33487d06-e3c1-a4e5-1496-7b370d672d2f%40gmail.com/#msg35392523 mailing list thread])<br />
* New verb allows to swap fill and stroke from command line: EditSwapFillStroke (a keyboard shortcut can now be assigned to it) ([https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/675690 bug 675690])<br />
* Files can now also be saved as Inkscape SVG without calling the GUI save dialog (new command: --export-inkscape-svg)<br />
<br />
<br />
== New dependencies ==<br />
<br />
* libsoup - Used for making http requests without the need for dbus and gvfs.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Translations ==<br />
<br />
New UI translations for [please fill in].<br />
<br />
<br />
== Notable Bugfixes ==<br />
<br />
* Symbols: Visio Stencils loaded from .vss files now use their actual name instead of a placeholder derived from the symbol file's name ([https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1676144 bug 1676144])<br />
* Shapes on Pen and Pencil tools now retain color and width ([https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1707899 bug:1707899]).<br />

== Inkscape 0.93 ==<br />
<br />
'''(definitely not released yet - [[AnnouncePlanning093]])'''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Release highlights ==<br />
<br />
Released on '''«YYYY-MM-DD»'''.<br />
<br />
[Please fill in]<br />
<br />
<br />
== Important changes ==<br />
<br />
[Please fill in]<br />
<br />
The icon preview dialog now correctly shows the page background (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1537497 1537497]). As a side effect, custom UI icons SVG files need updating to have their background color alpha channel set to 0 so that they display correctly (see Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1661989 1661989]).<br />
<br />
Improvements and fixes to the code for handling/restoring window size and position. The window manager handles most of the job now which should make it much more robust, but please report any potential regressions. [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/merge_requests/180]<br />
<br />
== Canvas ==<br />
<br />
=== HiDPI ===<br />
<br />
==== Icons ====<br />
[Please fill in]<br />
<br />
=== Canvas Rotation ===<br />
<br />
With <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+Scroll wheel</kbd> the drawing area can be rotated and viewed from different angles. In the bottom right corner of the Window, the viewing angle can be entered manually. Right-click to select between a set of preset values. Keyboard shortcuts for clockwise/counter-clockwise/no rotation can be set in the preferences.<br />
<br />
=== Canvas Mirroring ===<br />
<br />
The canvas can now be flipped, to ensure that the drawing does not lean to one side, and looks good either way.<br />
The vertical/horizontal flipping is available from the menu View > Canvas orientation > Flip horizontally / Flip vertically. Keyboard shortcuts for flipping the canvas can be set in the preferences.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Changed behavior of Stroke to Path ===<br />
<br />
The 'Stroke to Path' command now not only converts the stroke of a shape to path, but effectively splits it into its components.<br />
<br />
In the case of applying it to a path that only has a stroke, the behavior is unchanged.<br />
<br />
For paths that don't only have a stroke, but also a fill and/or markers, the result will be a group consisting of:<br />
* Stroke outline turned to path<br />
* Fill (if there was one)<br />
* A group of all markers (if applicable; one group per marker, consisting of its outline and its fill turned into a path)<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Path Operations ===<br />
<br />
Clones and Symbols are now automatically unlinked, before a Boolean operation (union, difference, etc.), or one of the Path operations 'Combine', 'Break apart', or 'Stroke to Path' is performed.<br />
<br />
A setting in the preferences at ''Behavior → Clones → Unlink Clones'' allows to disable the automatic unlinking.<br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
=== Pencil Tool ===<br />
<br />
==== PowerPencil ====<br />
<br />
Pressure sensitivity can now be enabled for the Pencil tool. This feature makes use of the PowerStroke Live Path Effect (LPE).<br />
<br />
New settings for the tool are available for tweaking the behavior of the PowerStroke LPE when it is being created with the Pencil tool (and a graphics tablet/stylus):<br />
* '''Use pressure input''' (in the tool controls bar): activates the PowerStroke feature, if a pressure sensitive device is available.<br />
* '''Min/Max''' (in the tool controls bar): determines the minimal and maximal stroke width (0 to 100%). This does not change the number of available pressure levels, but spreads them out in the available line width interval.<br />
* Additionally, the PowerStroke LPE itself has been improved, to better work when used in this new way, see [[#PowerStroke_LPE_Improvements|the section about LPE updates]].<br />
<br />
=== Eraser === <br />
<br />
New option to erase as clip, which allows to non-destructively erase (parts of) all kinds of elements, including raster images and clones.<br />
<br />
== Clipping / Masking ==<br />
<br />
Clip paths and masks now have an inverse mode in the menu, using the PowerClip and PowerMask LPEs<br />

<br />
Improvements in Pen/Pencil mode. With "Alt", you can move the previous node.<br />
<br />
=== Clone original Improvements ===<br />
<br />
This path effect now allows various objects instead of only paths and is even more powerful.<br/><br />
Here's a video that shows how it works: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAJAxKNY8lA Clone Original Improvements]<br />
<br />

<br />
=== PowerStroke LPE Improvements ===<br />
<br />
The PowerStroke LPE dialog now offers two more settings to make:<br />
<br />
* '''Width scale''': adjust the overall width of the stroke after it has been drawn.<br />
* '''Set default parameters''': set default values for new PowerStroke paths.<br />
<br />
=== Ellipse from Points ===<br />
<br />
This new LPE allows the optimal fitting of a path's points to an ellipse.</br><br />
In contrast to the already existing LPE "Ellipse by 5 points" this LPE is more flexible (since, depending on the number of points available, it can fit both circles and ellipses) and has more features. Especially technical illustrators can benefit from these features.<br />

<br />
== Dialogs ==<br />
<br />
=== Symbols ===<br />
<br />
* The Symbols dialog can now handle a lot of symbols without delay on startup, and also allows searching. Symbols and symbol sets now displayed in alphabetical order.<br />
<br />
=== Document Properties ===<br />

<br />
<br />
== Customization ==<br />
<br />
=== Customize all files in the share folder === <br />
<br />
All files in <code>/share</code> can be over-ridden by placing files in the user's configuration folder (e.g. <code>~/.config/inkscape</code>). <br />
Configurable contents now includes extensions, filters, fonts, gradients, icons, keyboard shortcuts, preset markers, palettes, patterns, about screen, symbol sets, templates, tutorials and some user interface configuration files. Only the file 'units.xml' cannot be overridden.<br />
<br />
=== Fonts ===<br />
<br />
* Inkscape can now load fonts that are not installed on the system. By default Inkscape will load additional fonts from Inkscape's share folder (<code>/share/inkscape/fonts</code>) and the user's configuration folder (<code>~/.config/inkscape/fonts</code>). Custom folders can be set in preferences (see ''Tools → Text → Font directories'').<br />
<br />
=== Keyboard shortcuts ===<br />
<br />
* Allow to use "Super", "Hyper" and "Meta" modifier keys<br />
* Improve shortcut handling code. This should fix a lot of issues and allow to use a lot of shortcuts which were inaccessible before, especially on non-English keyboard layouts.<br />
<br />
=== User interface customization ===<br />
<br />
* Inkscape is starting to use glade files for its dialogs so they can be reconfigured by users. Only one is currently supported (filter editor).<br />
* The contents of the menus can be configured by customizing the <code>menus.xml</code> file. <br />
* Toolbar contents for the command bar (<code>commands-toolbar.ui</code>), the snap bar (<code>snap-toolbar.ui</code>), the tool controls bars for each tool (<code>select-toolbar.ui</code>), the toolbox (<code>tool-toolbar.ui</code>) is now configurable.<br />
* The file <code>keybindings.rc</code> allows you to... '''(TODO: do what? What does it do in comparison to keys.xml?)'''<br />
* The interface colors and some more UI styles can be customized in <code>style.css</code> (very raw themeing support).<br />
<br />
== Inkview ==<br />
<br />
'''Inkview''' was considerably improved and got some new features:<br />
<br />
* Support folders as input (will load all SVG files from the specified folder)<br/>The <code>-r</code> or <code>--recursive</code> option will even allow to search subfolders recursively.<br />
* Implement <code>-t</code> or <code>--timer</code> option which allows to set a time after which the next file will be automatically loaded.<br />
* Add <code>-s</code> or <code>--scale</code> option to set a factor by which to scale the displayed image.<br />
* Add <code>-f</code> or <code>--fullscreen</code> option to launch Inkview in fullscreen mode<br />
* Many smaller fixes and improvements<br />
<br />
<br />
== Command Line ==<br />
<br />
* [[Using xverbs|xverbs]] (command line commands that take parameters, e.g. for saving the selection under a specified filename as svg file) ([https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/inkscape-devel/thread/33487d06-e3c1-a4e5-1496-7b370d672d2f%40gmail.com/#msg35392523 mailing list thread])<br />
* New verb allows to swap fill and stroke from command line: EditSwapFillStroke (a keyboard shortcut can now be assigned to it) ([https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/675690 bug 675690])<br />
* Files can now also be saved as Inkscape SVG without calling the GUI save dialog (new command: --export-inkscape-svg)<br />
<br />
<br />
== New dependencies ==<br />
<br />
* libsoup - Used for making http requests without the need for dbus and gvfs.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Translations ==<br />
<br />
New UI translations for [please fill in].<br />
<br />
<br />
== Notable Bugfixes ==<br />
<br />
* Symbols: Visio Stencils loaded from .vss files now use their actual name instead of a placeholder derived from the symbol file's name ([https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1676144 bug 1676144])<br />
* Shapes on Pen and Pencil tools now retain color and width ([https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1707899 bug:1707899]).<br />
