Release highlights
Not yet released
Inkscape 0.92.5 is a stability and bugfix release.
Important changes
The Inkscape project has opened a new, user-facing bug tracker on gitlab at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues/ . Please use this new tracker to report issues that occur with Inkscape 0.92.5 and with development builds.
Improvements
- Extensions are now compatible with Python 3 as well as Python 2
- The option to export to 'Save as...' > 'Cairo PNG' has been removed, as it was frequently confused with the 'Export PNG image' option
- The snap package now supports GTK2 themes from common distros via the gtk2-common-themes content interface
Notable bugfixes and crash fixes
