=== Milestone 12 - Inkscape 0.46 ===
=== Milestone 13 - Inkscape 0.47 - Refactoring / Cleanup ===


New/Changed Dependencies:
==== New/Changed Dependencies ====
* (DONE) Gtk 2.8 (required)
* GTK 2.12 (required)
* 2geom (optional)
**<i>2geom is a hard dependency now due to LPE. 2geom source has been copied to the inkscape tree, so that inkscape can make full profit from the latest and greatest 2geom (instead of depending on an earlier official 2geom release) [johan]</i>)


Architectural Refactoring Effort:
==== Architectural Refactoring Effort ====
* Eliminate all use of sp_repr_new in favor of XML::Document::* classes (see [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/19068])
* [[Lib2geom]] Integration
* Migrate SPObject to native C++ classes
** Eliminate code in favor of <code>2geom</code> where feasible
* Implement [http://grin-optics.org gradient] UI "release" handler to deal with gradient garbage collection (see bug 984854)
* Convert remaining GTK dialog code to GTKmm
* Create an SPObject API for tracking references and avoiding id clashes on import and interdocument copy/paste. What we need are a void SPDocument::importCopies([set of SPObjects]), and an [set of SPObjects] SPObject::dependencies() method.
* Eliminate all use of <code>sp_repr_new</code> in favor of <code>XML::Document::*</code> classes (see [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/19068])
* Prepatory work to integrate lib2geom next release
* Subsystem Rearchitecture
** what exactly is meant by this? is this already done with LPE?
** Migrate <code>SPObject</code> to native C++ classes
** Rename all '[[SPFooBar]]' routines to '[[FooBar]]' and put into namespaces
* Implement [http://grin-optics.org gradient] UI “release” handler to deal with gradient garbage collection (see bug 984854)
** '''Note:''' ''I can't find this bug on Inkscape.  Could someone locate and link it?'' <br>--[[User:Zearin|Zearin]] 18:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
* Create an API for tracking references and avoiding id clashes on import and interdocument copy/paste. The optimal place to put it would probably be somewhere at the XML level
* Streamline style
** Eliminate use of the <tt>style.h</tt> types in as much of codebase as possible, particularly display
** Externally, it should present a simple set of accessor methods for getting/setting properties by name, and propagating to/from <tt>repr</tt>
** Inside, it should have:
*** a concise list of property names with the expected domain of values in CSS and the associated Inkscape data type
*** a concise list of property aliases which represent one or more properties combined, each with the rule used to combine
*** definitions of the aforementioned rules and value domains
*** some generic code (not tied to any one property) implementing the needed behavior


Codebase Cleanup Effort:
==== Codebase Cleanup Effort ====
* Change to use of GQuarks instead of #defines where feasible
* Change to use of [http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-Quarks.html GQuarks] instead of <code>#defines</code> where feasible
** Where can information be found on this? (I have no clue what GQuarks are for example)
* Use <code>autoscan</code> and <code>autoreconf</code> to find out which configure tests are still needed
* Learn and use autoscan and autoreconf to find out which configure tests are still needed.
** Trim down the amount of stuff in our <tt>configure.ac</tt>
* Clean up configure.in
* <ins>(PARTIALLY DONE)</ins> [[DirectoryReorgProposal]]
* (PARTIALLY DONE) [[DirectoryReorgProposal]]
* Convert all tabs into spaces (convert tabs to 4 spaces)
* Convert all tabs into spaces (convert tabs to 4 spaces)
** Also see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7164324
** Also see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7164324
* Remove trailing whitespace
* [[http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/InkscapeJanitors#Cleanup:_Whitespace Remove trailing whitespace]]
** See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/InkscapeJanitors#Cleanup:_Whitespace
* Replace use of C macros (e.g. <code>SP_IS_PATH</code>) with C++ instance methods, static class methods, etc.
* Rename all '[[SPFooBar]]' routines to '[[FooBar]]' and put into namespaces
* Use [http://pmd.sourceforge.net/cpd.html Copy/Paste Detector] to find and refactor duplicated code
** (DONE) dialogs folder
* (DONE) Convert use of gboolean to bool where feasible
**(Bulia: "This was attempted and (partially?) rolled back, because it broke GTK calls which require gbooleans.")
* (DONE) Switch from use of TRUE/FALSE to true/false
