== À débattre ==
=== Dialogues attachables ===

LG >> - Préférences d'Inkscape > Fenêtres > Comportement des boîtes de dialogue... > Attachable / Flottant : Attachables / Flottantes (j'accorderais également les options suivantes des "Dialogues au-dessus de la fenêtres" : "Normaux" et "Agressifs"). Quitte à employer un néologisme comme "attachable" (que j'emploie comme vous pour l'instant, bien qu'insatisfait), nous autoriserions-nous "amarrable", correspondant à la métaphore des développeurs ? J'ai d'ailleurs traduit "floating dock" par "ponton flottant" (ce qui est la traduction littérale) et utilisé "dialogues amarrés" pour "docked dialogs".

ND >> Me plaît bien aussi. Sophie ?

SG >> Bien que je m’apprête à partir en vacances en bateau, j’ai un peu de mal
avec "ponton flottant", qui me paraît une traduction trop restrictive.
Dock est beaucoup plus large que ponton, c’est plutôt un bassin qu’un
quai, un endroit vide où on vient décharger des choses.
Peut-être voir ce qui se fait dans dans d’autres traductions GTK.
Apple n’a jamais traduit 'dock', qui est dans les dictionnaires
français, on pourrait garder ce mot.
Quand à utiliser la notion d’amarre pour éviter un néologisme, je ne
suis pas enthousiaste.

=== Thread ===

LG >> - Préférences d'Inkscape > Filtres > Affiche la boîte d'information des
>> primitives de filtre : "Afficher...", et juste en dessous, "Nombre de threads" : l'article de Wikipedia (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_%28informatique%29) propose diverses traductions possibles, parmi lesquelles, bien qu'assez embarrassé, je privilégierais "tâches", peu explicite mais une infobulle y remédie. Pour l'infobulle : "Configure le nombre de processeurs/threads..." : "Configurer le nombre de processus/tâches...".

SG >> Un informaticien me souffle que la traduction française pourrait être
"fil d’exécution", mais j’aime bien conserver les mots anglais quand il
s’agit d’un vocabulaire technique. "Tâches" est moins précis ne fait pas
la différence entre process et thread.

ND >> La chaîne originale est « Configure number of processors/threads to use with rendering of gaussian blur » et il s'agit donc bien de processeurs, et non pas de processus. On peut également simplifier le tout en « Configure le nombre de threads à utiliser pour le rendu du flou gaussien ». Car en pratique, on se moque royalement du nombre de processeurs. Avec les technologie d'hyperthreading et de cœurs multiples, on est capable de paralléliser sans avoir nécessairement plusieurs processeurs. Proposition à soumettre également pour la chaîne originale.

=== LPE ===

LG >> Par ailleurs, après avoir longuement hésité en juin/juillet 2008, alors que je n'avais aucune traduction à ma disposition, entre "Effets de chemin en direct" et "Effets de chemin en temps réel", je me suis rallié, bien entendu, à votre choix pour la mise à jour. Je reste un peu insatisfait de la perte de cette notation de vie ("live" = "en direct", mais peut-être plutôt dans ce contexte, "vivant") de ces effets dont la particularité est de s'adapter, comme des organismes vivants, aux modifications ultérieures du chemin. "Effets de chemin animés" ("animé" = "doué de vie") pourrait rendre cette notion.

SG >>Pour moi animé est trop connoté cinéma d’animation, et comme j’espère
qu’Inkscape fera un jour du svg animé, je le garderai bien pour plus tard :)
On pourrait utiliser interactif.

ND >> Favorable à « Effets de chemin interactifs ». Même si l'animation n'est pas pour demain...

=== Bitmaps ===

LG >> Par ailleurs, toujours dans l'interface, on trouve "Images matricielles"
dans le menu "Extensions", mais toujours "Faire une copie bitmap" et
"Vectoriser le bitmap" (et peut-être d'autres occurrences de ce terme).
Serait-il possible d'harmoniser la traduction ? Concernant le manuel,
alors qu'en 2008 j'avais finalement laissé "bitmap" car très courant en
français et systématique dans l'interface, je l'ai remplacé par "image
matricielle" dans la mise à jour.

ND >> Favorable à « Images matricielles » partout, mais peut-être pour la 0.49, pour laisser le temps de nous habituer à le voir dans la version dev.

=== Barres et boîtes ===

LG >> - "Barre des commandes", "Barre des contrôles..." : j'ai finalement laissé dans le manuel "Barre de commandes", "Barre de contrôles..." car dans certaines phrases "Barre des..." ou "Contrôles des..." étaient gênants, comme dans "Barre des contrôles des outils" ("Barre des contrôles d'outils" me semble
préférable); j'ai en revanche remplacé "Boîte d'outils" par "Boîte à outils"
qui "sonne" mieux (OpenOffice.org, qui est également l'une de mes références en
matière de traduction d'interface logicielle, donne "Barre d'état" et "Barres
d'outils").

== À débattre ==
=== Dialogues attachables ===

LG >> - Préférences d'Inkscape > Fenêtres > Comportement des boîtes de dialogue... > Attachable / Flottant : Attachables / Flottantes (j'accorderais également les options suivantes des "Dialogues au-dessus de la fenêtres" : "Normaux" et "Agressifs"). Quitte à employer un néologisme comme "attachable" (que j'emploie comme vous pour l'instant, bien qu'insatisfait), nous autoriserions-nous "amarrable", correspondant à la métaphore des développeurs ? J'ai d'ailleurs traduit "floating dock" par "ponton flottant" (ce qui est la traduction littérale) et utilisé "dialogues amarrés" pour "docked dialogs".

ND >> Me plaît bien aussi. Sophie ?

SG >> Bien que je m’apprête à partir en vacances en bateau, j’ai un peu de mal
avec "ponton flottant", qui me paraît une traduction trop restrictive.
Dock est beaucoup plus large que ponton, c’est plutôt un bassin qu’un
quai, un endroit vide où on vient décharger des choses.
Peut-être voir ce qui se fait dans dans d’autres traductions GTK.
Apple n’a jamais traduit 'dock', qui est dans les dictionnaires
français, on pourrait garder ce mot.
Quand à utiliser la notion d’amarre pour éviter un néologisme, je ne
suis pas enthousiaste.

=== Thread ===

LG >> - Préférences d'Inkscape > Filtres > Affiche la boîte d'information des
>> primitives de filtre : "Afficher...", et juste en dessous, "Nombre de threads" : l'article de Wikipedia (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_%28informatique%29) propose diverses traductions possibles, parmi lesquelles, bien qu'assez embarrassé, je privilégierais "tâches", peu explicite mais une infobulle y remédie. Pour l'infobulle : "Configure le nombre de processeurs/threads..." : "Configurer le nombre de processus/tâches...".

SG >> Un informaticien me souffle que la traduction française pourrait être
"fil d’exécution", mais j’aime bien conserver les mots anglais quand il
s’agit d’un vocabulaire technique. "Tâches" est moins précis ne fait pas
la différence entre process et thread.

ND >> La chaîne originale est « Configure number of processors/threads to use with rendering of gaussian blur » et il s'agit donc bien de processeurs, et non pas de processus. On peut également simplifier le tout en « Configure le nombre de threads à utiliser pour le rendu du flou gaussien ». Car en pratique, on se moque royalement du nombre de processeurs. Avec les technologie d'hyperthreading et de cœurs multiples, on est capable de paralléliser sans avoir nécessairement plusieurs processeurs. Proposition à soumettre également pour la chaîne originale.

Je reste un peu insatisfait de la perte de cette notation de vie ("live" = "en direct", mais peut-être plutôt dans ce contexte, "vivant") de ces effets dont la particularité est de s'adapter, comme des organismes vivants, aux modifications ultérieures du chemin. "Effets de chemin animés" ("animé" = "doué de vie") pourrait rendre cette notion.

Release notes/0.92

2016-05-30T12:38:38Z

JazzyNico: /* New */

{{Other languages|en=Release_notes/0.92}}

==Inkscape 0.92==

'''(definitely not released yet - [[AnnouncePlanning092]])'''

==Release highlights==

Released on '''«YYYY-MM-DD»'''.

== Manipulating Objects ==

=== Objects Dialog ===

New dialog for manipulating the object tree.

* Drag and drop reordering of objects.
* Find, lock, and hide individual items.
* Shows individual objects as well as layers.
* Ability to change highlight color of objects.
* Ability to set blend mode per object.

Imported from Ponyscape.

=== Selection Sets Dialog ===

New dialog that allows the creation of selection sets that are not affected by document structure.

== Text ==

=== Font Features ===

It is now possible to take advantage of OpenType tables to select alternative glyphs from a font. Note that browser support is still limited. Inkscape must also be linked with a recent version of the Pango library.

=== Vertical Text ===

Support for vertical text layout has been improved.
* The default behavior for Latin bases glyphs has been changed. They are now rotated sideways as required by the SVG 1.1 standard.
* Support for the CSS 3 'text-orientation' property has been added. (Note that this property is not yet fully supported by browsers.)
* The CSS 3 values for the 'writing-mode' property are supported in rendering. Saving still uses the deprecated SVG 1.1 values.

=== Accessibility ===

Converting text to a path will save the text in the 'aria-label' attribute. This is useful for accessibility and could eventually be used by Inkscape to reconstruct the text.

== Live Path Effects ==
Now some suitable LPE's are applied to clips and mask. 
Helper lines come again to live 
Added to pen/pencil shape combo box the option to add a bend path directly 

==== Spiro Live ====

== Geometric Construction Tool ==

* Helps to create: line segments, circles by specific points, parallels, perpendicular lines, angle bisectors, mirrored paths by applying a Live Path Effect.
[Needs usage instructions!]

== Align and Distribute ==
* NEW: drop-down chooser with options to align nodes relative to each other in node editing mode.

== File Format Support ==
* The default PostScript level for exporting from the command line changes from 2 to 3 (consistent with the user interface PS exporter which defaults to level 3). Level 3 is required for gradient support.

== Extensions ==

=== New ===
* Render > '''Seamless Pattern''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYGKAF7EPFY Screencast])
* Images > '''Set Image Attributes''' (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1357808 1357808])
* Render > '''NiceCharts''' ([https://github.com/Moini/NiceCharts/tree/patch-1 github repo, not maintained]
* Arrange > '''Deep Ungroup''' (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171117 171117])

=== Plotter Driver ===

==== Multiple Pens ====
The Plotter driver (Extensions -> Export -> Plot) can now handle multiple pens to create colorful drawings on Pen Plotters:
* Create a layer for every pen to use and move the corresponding drawings into it
* Name the layer with a title like "Pen 1" or "MyLayerName Pen 1", where the number corresponds to the pen number the plotter should use
* The layer name always overrides the standard pen setting in the plot menu

==== Serial Connection ====
The connection settings now allow you to specify rarely used serial connection settings like byte size, stop bits and parity. Most plotters use the default settings, so only change these if you know what you are doing.

=== HPGL Export ===

The HPGL export (File -> Save as -> HP Grafics Language file) has now the same multiple pens feature as the [[#Plotter Driver]].

=== HPGL Import ===

The HPGL import (File -> Open -> Select .hpgl file) can now import multiple pens into corresponding layers, see [[#Plotter Driver]] for more information.

=== PDF Import ===

The image 'interpolate' value is now used to determine how to display bitmaps (interpolated or blocky).

=== Miscellaneous Improvements ===
* Arrange > '''Restack''' has new options to reverse and shuffle the z-order of selected objects.
* Render > '''Random Tree''' has new option to omit redundant segments.
* Visualize Path > '''Measure Path''' has additional text layout options.

=== Extension Development ===
* It is now possible for an extension to retrieve a list of selected nodes (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171287 171287]).

== Filters ==
=== New ===
* Color > '''Color Blindness''' filter allows to simulate different color blindness conditions.

== Other dialogs ==

=== Document Properties: Licences ===

All selectable licences have been updated to most current version.

=== Filter Editor ===

Filter list now displays how often a filter is used.

== Other user interface ==

=== Node Snapping ===

Snapping in the node tool has been improved:

* When double clicking to insert new nodes, the position of these new nodes will snap to for example path intersections and to path-guide intersections
* When grabbing a segment of a path and dragging it to deform it, the pointer will now snap

=== Checkerboard Background ===

It is now possible to use a checkerboard background when editing. This allows one to clearly see the transparency of objects.

=== View Box ===

One can now set the SVG 'viewBox' attribute from the GUI. This attribute sets the scale of the drawing by determining the real-world value of the SVG user unit (pixel size).

=== Lock Guides ===

Now guides can be locked and unlocked globally or individually.

== SVG and CSS ==

* The 'marker-orientation' property now recognizes units ('deg', 'rad', 'grad' and 'turn').
* The new SVG 2 'context-fill' and 'context-stroke' properties are implemented which allows the auto-matching of arrowhead fill color to path stroke color.
* The new SVG 2 marker orientation attribute value 'auto-start-reverse' is implemented. This allows one arrow marker to be used for both ends of a path.
* The new CSS 3 'mix-blend-mode' and 'isolation' properties are implemented, allowing setting the blend mode between objects without using filters.
* The new SVG 2 'paint-order' property is now supported. This allows setting the order in which the fill, stroke, and markers are drawn.
* The new SVG 2 'mesh' paint server is supported, including bicubic auto-smoothing. A primitive GUI is available.
* The SVG 1.1 'text-decoration' property is now rendered (underlines, strike through, etc.). CSS 3 'text-decoration' properties are also rendered.
* The new SVG 2 'hatch' paint server is now supported.
* The CSS 'white-space' property is now supported. Use of this property was added in SVG 2 to replace the now deprecated 'xml;space' attribute.
* The SVG 1.1 'textLength" and 'textAdjust' attributes are implemented, however, there is no GUI for these attributes.
* Rendering of the Component Transfer filter primitive has been corrected.
* Units are now recognized in the text and tspan 'x', 'y', 'dx', and 'dy' attributes.
* Percentage values are now interpreted correctly for shapes.

New SVG 2 and CSS 3 features are generally not enabled in the GUI until widespread support in browsers.

== New dependencies ==

The Paintbucket and Trace Bitmap tools now use an external copy of the Potrace library, which is available in many Linux distributions or can be obtained from http://potrace.sourceforge.net

== Translations ==
New UI translations for Assamese, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri (Perso-Arabic and Devanagari), Kokani (Roman and Devanagari scripts), Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri (Meetei Mayek and Bengali scripts), Marathi, Odia, Santali (Devnagari and Ol-Chiki scripts), Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Urdu (Perso-Arabic and Devanagari scripts).

Inkscape Devlibs

2016-01-22T19:28:54Z

JazzyNico: /* Rebuilding the gtkmm stack */

Inkscape Devlibs are a bundle of libraries and tools used to compile Inkscape. It is hosted in a [https://launchpad.net/inkscape-devlibs Launchpad repository]. Here's some information for those who need to maintain them and rebuild all or part of the libraries.

== What you need to start ==

* Install the [http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ TDM-GCC] build of MinGW into c:\mingw (or any other folder). This is the compiler.

* Install [http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys MSYS]. This is the Unix-like build environment including a shell. When you run the MSYS installer, at the end it will ask you if you have MinGW installed and if so, where. Specify the directory where you installed MinGW.
Make sure that you are using MSYS's make inside MSYS, instead of MinGW's make. You will need a recent version of MSYS, use mingw-get to install it. (make version 3.81 works for me)

* Check out the current devlibs into C:\devlibs from Launchpad repository (see [[Win32Port]]).

* Download sources for the libraries you want to build. Released versions are recommended, not snapshots.

* Create an empty directory C:\devlibs-update. This is where the resulting compiled libraries will be placed. When you succeed, you'll have to copy them to c:\devlibs before recompiling Inkscape, so it can use the new libs.

== Updating the C part of devlibs ==

The C part of the GTK stack can be directly copied from official development bundles. Do not copy unneeded stuff like .lib, .def, static libraries, examples or documentation.

=== Rebuilding libgc ===

Use MSYS and this configure command. Tested with GC 7.1. Threading support does not work: GC 6.8 compiles but causes a segfault on startup, while GC 7.1 doesn't compile.
$ ./configure --enable-large-config --disable-shared --disable-threads
--prefix=/c/devlibs-update

Note: as of GC 7.3, libatomic_ops needs to be downloaded separately and installed in the GC source base directory (see http://www.hboehm.info/gc/#where).

=== Conflict between gc.h and MagickCore.h ===

ImageMagick defines _DLL in its pkg-config file to mark its API as imported from DLLs. However, the same symbol is also used by libgc, and we currently link it as a static library. To solve this conflict, two things were done:
* The bit that defines GC_DLL when _DLL is defined was removed.
* The pkg-config file was changed to define _MAGICKDLL_ instead of _DLL - this define is also supported in the MagickCore.h header.

===Potrace===

Now (Inkscape 0.92+) that we compile against an external Potrace library, libpotrace needs to be maintained in the devlibs. Nothing special except that you need to provide CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS for zlib:

$ CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devlibs/lib"
./configure --prefix /c/devlibs-update --with-libpotrace

== Rebuilding cairo ==

* Download and unzip a release of pixman and cairo from [http://cairographics.org cairographics.org].

* Run MSYS, and in its shell window, give the following commands:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/c/devlibs-update/lib/pkgconfig:/c/devlibs/lib/pkgconfig
$ PATH="/c/devlibs-update/bin:$PATH:/c/devlibs/bin"
$ PATH=$PATH:/c/devlibs/perl/bin
$ export LDFLAGS="-L/c/devlibs/lib -lpthreadGC2"

* cd to pixman source dir and do:

$ CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs/include" CXXFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update
$ make
$ make install

* then cd to the cairo source dir and do the same 3 commands

Done! Now in c:\devlibs-update\bin you will find the new libpixman-1-0.dll and libcairo-2.dll.

If you encounter a "previous declaration of 'ssize_t' was here" error when compiling, add "#define _SSIZE_T_DEFINED 1" in the config.h file in the cairo source folder. (error still present with cairo 1.12.14).

The same or similar procedure should work for other C libs.

== Rebuilding the gtkmm stack ==

The C++ libraries are: libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, pangomm, gtkmm. We use only header-only libraries from boost, so it doesn't need to be rebuilt - just copy the headers.

* Install Doxygen: gtkmm wants it, otherwise it won't build.

* Run MSYS. Set up paths the following way. The object of this is to build e.g. gtkmm using the glibmm you have just built.
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/c/devlibs-update/lib/pkgconfig:/c/devlibs/lib/pkgconfig
$ PATH="/c/devlibs-update/bin:$PATH:/c/devlibs/bin"
$ PATH="$PATH:/c/Program Files/Doxygen/bin"

* For C++11, setup the CXXFLAGS correctly. You have to add "-std=gnu++0x" (gcc) or "-std=c++11" (clang). (note that if you have to change CXXFLAGS later on, you should add "-std=gnu++0x"!)
$ export CXXFLAGS="-std=gnu++0x -O2"

* When using DW2 exception handling, extra stuff is needed. Also, if you need to point to another compiler, use CXX and CC:
$ export LDFLAGS="-shared-libgcc"
$ export CXX=g++-dw2
$ export CC=gcc-dw2

* For each C++ library, configure, build and install it. Do it in the following order: libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, pangomm, gtkmm. The commands should look like this:
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update
$ make
$ make install

* pangomm, cairomm and gtkmm seem to want Freetype2, but don't use pkg-config to find it. For them, do something like this. Note that those are backticks, not apostrophes.
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2 $FT2_CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="$FT2_LIBS" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update

* devlibs\include\fontconfig\fontconfig.h may give a warning with C++11, change
#define FC_CACHE_SUFFIX ".cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_DIR_CACHE_FILE "fonts.cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_USER_CACHE_FILE ".fonts.cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
to
#define FC_CACHE_SUFFIX ".cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_DIR_CACHE_FILE "fonts.cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_USER_CACHE_FILE ".fonts.cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
C++11 wants a space between string literals.

* giomm (which is part of glibmm) has a defective main header which includes Unix-specific stuff that is not built on Windows. Comment out the following three includes in C:\devlibs-update\include\giomm-2.4\giomm.h. Otherwise gtkmm will not build. [Apparently fixed in Glibmm-2.42.0]
#include <giomm/desktopappinfo.h>
#include <giomm/unixinputstream.h>
#include <giomm/unixoutputstream.h>

* Prune C:\devlibs-update from unneeded stuff. In particular, you don't need static libraries, libtool files (.la), documentation and example programs. Note however that you DO need import libraries. They end with .dll.a - don't confuse them with static libraries that end with .a.

* Copy the contents of C:\devlibs-update to C:\devlibs and enjoy.

* Before the enjoyment can start, it may be that some pkg-config files are misconfigured. In my case C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gtkmm-2.4.pc had to be modified, 1st to include glibmm-2.4, and 2nd the version number comparisons had to be dropped (possibly because of old version of pkg-config.exe?). I had to correct the Requires: lines as follows:
C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gtkmm-2.4.pc
Requires: glibmm-2.4 atkmm-1.6 giomm-2.4 pangomm-1.4 gtk+-2.0 gdkmm-2.4
C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gdkmm-2.4.pc
Requires: cairomm-1.0 giomm-2.4 >= 2.27.93 pangomm-1.4 >= 2.27.1 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.24.0

* For TDM-GCC 4.8.1, I have to delete devlibs/include/pthread.h because it is already supplied by the compiler and it will result in bad errors. windows.h is included by the devlibs/include/pthread.h, and fouls the complete namespace. (So you will see many name clashes, for example vpsc::Rectangle will clash if the namespace vpsc is not mentioned.

== Rebuilding other C++ libraries ==

Inkscape currently uses two non-gtkmm C++ libraries: Poppler and Magick++ (part of ImageMagick). There are currently problems with Poppler later than 0.12.1, see [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/487038 bug 487038] for status.

===Poppler===

Follow the procedure for the gtkmm stack outlines above, with the following modifications:

* Ensure that you have libtiff, libpng and libjpeg development files matching the versions supplied by GTK. They can be downloaded from the GTK+ Windows binaries page, but should also be included in Devlibs.
* Poppler complains that it wants libopenjpeg for JPEG2000 support. I have not been successful in building it correctly with MinGW, however.
* libjpeg headers are broken - they define types that have conflicting definitions in basetsd.h and rpcndr.h (part of Windows API). To fix this, do two things.
** Modify jmorecfg.h at line 162 - remove the final underscore. Apparently the include guards differ between the MS-supplied Win32 headers and the MinGW-supplied ones. The header in devlibs has this modification applied.
#ifndef _BASETSD_H
** Comment out line 52 of c:\tdm-gcc\include\rpcndr.h
/*typedef unsigned char boolean;*/
* You need to add Perl you PATH (for glib-mkenums).
$ PATH="$PATH:/c/devlibs/perl/bin"
* You need to tell configure you want the internal headers, which Inkscape uses at the moment (but shouldn't: see [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254849 bug 254849]).
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" CFLAGS="-O2"
CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs-update/include -I/c/devlibs/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devibs-update/lib -L/c/devlibs/lib
./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update --enable-xpdf-headers

* In case compilation fails with a "GetFileSizeEx was not declared in this scope" error, set the WINVER value (in c:\tdm-gcc\include\windef.h) to 0x0501 (for Windows XP) or more.

===ImageMagick===

ImageMagick needs the Freetype2 treatment. Additionally, the version of libtool it uses is retarded in some way, because it can't find the compiler's libgomp. You need to specify the compiler's library dir explicitly.
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" CFLAGS="-O2"
CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs-update/include -I/c/devlibs/include $FT2_CFLAGS"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devibs-update/lib -L/c/devlibs/lib $FT2_LIBS
-L/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.1"
./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update --disable-static --without-perl

== Generating import libraries from DLLs ==

MinGW requires an import library to link against DLLs using -l switches. Fortunately, it's usually possible to generate it from the DLL. Here's how to do this.
* Download the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW%20pexports/pexports-0.44-1/pexports-0.44-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma/download <tt>pexports</tt> utility] from MinGW and unpack it somewhere into your PATH.
* Navigate to the DLL directory and say this:
pexports some.dll > some.def
dlltool -D some.dll -d some.def -l libsome.dll.a
* Move libsome.dll.a to the <tt>lib</tt> directory of devlibs. You have to use a name that matches the pattern lib*.dll.a. Delete the .def file that was generated as a side effect.
* Now you can link against somelib.dll using -lsome.
* If you rename the DLL, you'll have to regenerate the import library and relink any libraries and executables linked against that DLL.

== Generating libboost_python for py2geom ==

'''Unfortunately, our version of Boost (1.34) does not support our gcc version. So you cannot follow these instructions at this moment. We have to upgrade our Boost version to 1.37 or higher to be able to build it with our gcc... See the [http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=45798 bug report here]. I have uploaded my old libboost_python binaries to devlibs, built using MinGW 4.2.1'''

This concerns generating lib\libboost_python.a and lib\libboost_python.dll, required for building and using py2geom (lib2geom's python bindings). I have followed the [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/python/doc/building.html procedure described by Boost].

* download Boost's source (not the latest Boost version, but the Boost version that is included in the devlibs!)
* figure out how to get the bjam build program.
* go to the commandline and to the root of the Boost you downloaded (in my case c:\boost, and make sure gcc is in the path (run Inkscape's mingwenv.bat)
* execute

C:\Boost> bjam --with-python --toolset=gcc

* Boost will build a variety of different libboost_python binaries in the "bin.v2" directory. For py2geom, we want the dynamically linked library. The files we want are located in bin.v2\libs\python\build\gcc-mingw-4.2.1\release. Copy "libboost_python-mgw42-1_34_1.a" and "libboost_python-mgw42-1_34_1.dll" to devlibs\lib, and rename them to libboost_python.a and libboost_python.dll.
* Commit to bzr and you are done!

Inkscape Devlibs

2016-01-06T09:35:57Z

JazzyNico: /* Poppler */ Freetype pkg-config issue fixed in recent versions.

Inkscape Devlibs are a bundle of libraries and tools used to compile Inkscape. It is hosted in a [https://launchpad.net/inkscape-devlibs Launchpad repository]. Here's some information for those who need to maintain them and rebuild all or part of the libraries.

== What you need to start ==

* Install the [http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ TDM-GCC] build of MinGW into c:\mingw (or any other folder). This is the compiler.

* Install [http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys MSYS]. This is the Unix-like build environment including a shell. When you run the MSYS installer, at the end it will ask you if you have MinGW installed and if so, where. Specify the directory where you installed MinGW.
Make sure that you are using MSYS's make inside MSYS, instead of MinGW's make. You will need a recent version of MSYS, use mingw-get to install it. (make version 3.81 works for me)

* Check out the current devlibs into C:\devlibs from Launchpad repository (see [[Win32Port]]).

* Download sources for the libraries you want to build. Released versions are recommended, not snapshots.

* Create an empty directory C:\devlibs-update. This is where the resulting compiled libraries will be placed. When you succeed, you'll have to copy them to c:\devlibs before recompiling Inkscape, so it can use the new libs.

== Updating the C part of devlibs ==

$ export LDFLAGS="-L/c/devlibs/lib -lpthreadGC2"

$ CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs/include" CXXFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update

Now (Inkscape 0.92+) that we compile against an external Potrace library, libpotrace needs to be maintained in the devlibs. Nothing special except that you need to provide CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS for zlib:

$ CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devlibs/lib"
./configure --prefix /c/devlibs-update --with-libpotrace

== Rebuilding cairo ==

* Download and unzip a release of pixman and cairo from [http://cairographics.org cairographics.org].

* Run MSYS, and in its shell window, give the following commands:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/c/devlibs-update/lib/pkgconfig:/c/devlibs/lib/pkgconfig
$ PATH="/c/devlibs-update/bin:$PATH:/c/devlibs/bin"
$ PATH=$PATH:/c/devlibs/perl/bin
$ export LDFLAGS="-L/c/devlibs/lib -lpthreadGC2"

* cd to pixman source dir and do:

$ CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs/include" CXXFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update
$ make
$ make install

* then cd to the cairo source dir and do the same 3 commands

Done! Now in c:\devlibs-update\bin you will find the new libpixman-1-0.dll and libcairo-2.dll.

If you encounter a "previous declaration of 'ssize_t' was here" error when compiling, add "#define _SSIZE_T_DEFINED 1" in the config.h file in the cairo source folder. (error still present with cairo 1.12.14).

The same or similar procedure should work for other C libs.

== Rebuilding the gtkmm stack ==

The C++ libraries are: libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, pangomm, gtkmm. We use only header-only libraries from boost, so it doesn't need to be rebuilt - just copy the headers.

* Install Doxygen: gtkmm wants it, otherwise it won't build.

* Run MSYS. Set up paths the following way. The object of this is to build e.g. gtkmm using the glibmm you have just built.
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/c/devlibs-update/lib/pkgconfig:/c/devlibs/lib/pkgconfig
$ PATH="/c/devlibs-update/bin:$PATH:/c/devlibs/bin"
$ PATH="$PATH:/c/Program Files/Doxygen/bin"

* For C++11, setup the CXXFLAGS correctly. You have to add "-std=gnu++0x" (gcc) or "-std=c++11" (clang). (note that if you have to change CXXFLAGS later on, you should add "-std=gnu++0x"!)
$ export CXXFLAGS="-std=gnu++0x -O2"

* When using DW2 exception handling, extra stuff is needed. Also, if you need to point to another compiler, use CXX and CC:
$ export LDFLAGS="-shared-libgcc"
$ export CXX=g++-dw2
$ export CC=gcc-dw2

* For each C++ library, configure, build and install it. Do it in the following order: libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, pangomm, gtkmm. The commands should look like this:
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update
$ make
$ make install

* pangomm, cairomm and gtkmm seem to want Freetype2, but don't use pkg-config to find it. For them, do something like this. Note that those are backticks, not apostrophes.
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2 $FT2_CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="$FT2_LIBS" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update

* devlibs\include\fontconfig\fontconfig.h may give a warning with C++11, change
#define FC_CACHE_SUFFIX ".cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_DIR_CACHE_FILE "fonts.cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_USER_CACHE_FILE ".fonts.cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
to
#define FC_CACHE_SUFFIX ".cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_DIR_CACHE_FILE "fonts.cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_USER_CACHE_FILE ".fonts.cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
C++11 wants a space between string literals.

* giomm (which is part of glibmm) has a defective main header which includes Unix-specific stuff that is not built on Windows. Comment out the following three includes in C:\devlibs-update\include\giomm-2.4\giomm.h. Otherwise gtkmm will not build.
#include <giomm/desktopappinfo.h>
#include <giomm/unixinputstream.h>
#include <giomm/unixoutputstream.h>

* Prune C:\devlibs-update from unneeded stuff. In particular, you don't need static libraries, libtool files (.la), documentation and example programs. Note however that you DO need import libraries. They end with .dll.a - don't confuse them with static libraries that end with .a.

* Copy the contents of C:\devlibs-update to C:\devlibs and enjoy.

* Before the enjoyment can start, it may be that some pkg-config files are misconfigured. In my case C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gtkmm-2.4.pc had to be modified, 1st to include glibmm-2.4, and 2nd the version number comparisons had to be dropped (possibly because of old version of pkg-config.exe?). I had to correct the Requires: lines as follows:
C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gtkmm-2.4.pc
Requires: glibmm-2.4 atkmm-1.6 giomm-2.4 pangomm-1.4 gtk+-2.0 gdkmm-2.4
C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gdkmm-2.4.pc
Requires: cairomm-1.0 giomm-2.4 >= 2.27.93 pangomm-1.4 >= 2.27.1 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.24.0

* For TDM-GCC 4.8.1, I have to delete devlibs/include/pthread.h because it is already supplied by the compiler and it will result in bad errors. windows.h is included by the devlibs/include/pthread.h, and fouls the complete namespace. (So you will see many name clashes, for example vpsc::Rectangle will clash if the namespace vpsc is not mentioned.

== Rebuilding other C++ libraries ==

Inkscape currently uses two non-gtkmm C++ libraries: Poppler and Magick++ (part of ImageMagick). There are currently problems with Poppler later than 0.12.1, see [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/487038 bug 487038] for status.

===Poppler===

Follow the procedure for the gtkmm stack outlines above, with the following modifications:

* Ensure that you have libtiff, libpng and libjpeg development files matching the versions supplied by GTK. They can be downloaded from the GTK+ Windows binaries page, but should also be included in Devlibs.
* Poppler complains that it wants libopenjpeg for JPEG2000 support. I have not been successful in building it correctly with MinGW, however.
* libjpeg headers are broken - they define types that have conflicting definitions in basetsd.h and rpcndr.h (part of Windows API). To fix this, do two things.
** Modify jmorecfg.h at line 162 - remove the final underscore. Apparently the include guards differ between the MS-supplied Win32 headers and the MinGW-supplied ones. The header in devlibs has this modification applied.
#ifndef _BASETSD_H
** Comment out line 52 of c:\tdm-gcc\include\rpcndr.h
/*typedef unsigned char boolean;*/
* You need to add Perl you PATH (for glib-mkenums).
$ PATH="$PATH:/c/devlibs/perl/bin"
* Poppler doesn't use pkg-config. You need to explicitly pass it some flags, including those for freetype2. You also need to tell configure you want the internal headers, which Inkscape uses at the moment (but shouldn't: see [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254849 bug 254849]).
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" CFLAGS="-O2"
CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs-update/include -I/c/devlibs/include $FT2_CFLAGS"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devibs-update/lib -L/c/devlibs/lib $FT2_LIBS
./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update --enable-xpdf-headers

* In case compilation fails with a "GetFileSizeEx was not declared in this scope" error, set the WINVER value (in MinGW\include\windef.h) to 0x0501 (for Windows XP) or more.

===ImageMagick===

ImageMagick needs the Freetype2 treatment. Additionally, the version of libtool it uses is retarded in some way, because it can't find the compiler's libgomp. You need to specify the compiler's library dir explicitly.
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" CFLAGS="-O2"
CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs-update/include -I/c/devlibs/include $FT2_CFLAGS"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devibs-update/lib -L/c/devlibs/lib $FT2_LIBS
-L/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.1"
./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update --disable-static --without-perl

== Generating import libraries from DLLs ==

MinGW requires an import library to link against DLLs using -l switches. Fortunately, it's usually possible to generate it from the DLL. Here's how to do this.
* Download the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW%20pexports/pexports-0.44-1/pexports-0.44-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma/download <tt>pexports</tt> utility] from MinGW and unpack it somewhere into your PATH.
* Navigate to the DLL directory and say this:
pexports some.dll > some.def
dlltool -D some.dll -d some.def -l libsome.dll.a
* Move libsome.dll.a to the <tt>lib</tt> directory of devlibs. You have to use a name that matches the pattern lib*.dll.a. Delete the .def file that was generated as a side effect.
* Now you can link against somelib.dll using -lsome.
* If you rename the DLL, you'll have to regenerate the import library and relink any libraries and executables linked against that DLL.

== Generating libboost_python for py2geom ==

'''Unfortunately, our version of Boost (1.34) does not support our gcc version. So you cannot follow these instructions at this moment. We have to upgrade our Boost version to 1.37 or higher to be able to build it with our gcc... See the [http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=45798 bug report here]. I have uploaded my old libboost_python binaries to devlibs, built using MinGW 4.2.1'''

This concerns generating lib\libboost_python.a and lib\libboost_python.dll, required for building and using py2geom (lib2geom's python bindings). I have followed the [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/python/doc/building.html procedure described by Boost].

* download Boost's source (not the latest Boost version, but the Boost version that is included in the devlibs!)
* figure out how to get the bjam build program.
* go to the commandline and to the root of the Boost you downloaded (in my case c:\boost, and make sure gcc is in the path (run Inkscape's mingwenv.bat)
* execute

C:\Boost> bjam --with-python --toolset=gcc

* Boost will build a variety of different libboost_python binaries in the "bin.v2" directory. For py2geom, we want the dynamically linked library. The files we want are located in bin.v2\libs\python\build\gcc-mingw-4.2.1\release. Copy "libboost_python-mgw42-1_34_1.a" and "libboost_python-mgw42-1_34_1.dll" to devlibs\lib, and rename them to libboost_python.a and libboost_python.dll.
* Commit to bzr and you are done!

Inkscape Devlibs

2015-12-31T13:29:54Z

JazzyNico:

Inkscape Devlibs are a bundle of libraries and tools used to compile Inkscape. It is hosted in a [https://launchpad.net/inkscape-devlibs Launchpad repository]. Here's some information for those who need to maintain them and rebuild all or part of the libraries.

== What you need to start ==

* Install the [http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ TDM-GCC] build of MinGW into c:\mingw (or any other folder). This is the compiler.

* Install [http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys MSYS]. This is the Unix-like build environment including a shell. When you run the MSYS installer, at the end it will ask you if you have MinGW installed and if so, where. Specify the directory where you installed MinGW.
Make sure that you are using MSYS's make inside MSYS, instead of MinGW's make. You will need a recent version of MSYS, use mingw-get to install it. (make version 3.81 works for me)

* Check out the current devlibs into C:\devlibs from Launchpad repository (see [[Win32Port]]).

* Download sources for the libraries you want to build. Released versions are recommended, not snapshots.

* Create an empty directory C:\devlibs-update. This is where the resulting compiled libraries will be placed. When you succeed, you'll have to copy them to c:\devlibs before recompiling Inkscape, so it can use the new libs.

== Updating the C part of devlibs ==

The C part of the GTK stack can be directly copied from official development bundles. Do not copy unneeded stuff like .lib, .def, static libraries, examples or documentation.

=== Rebuilding libgc ===

Use MSYS and this configure command. Tested with GC 7.1. Threading support does not work: GC 6.8 compiles but causes a segfault on startup, while GC 7.1 doesn't compile.
$ ./configure --enable-large-config --disable-shared --disable-threads
--prefix=/c/devlibs-update

Note: as of GC 7.3, libatomic_ops needs to be downloaded separately and installed in the GC source base directory (see http://www.hboehm.info/gc/#where).

=== Conflict between gc.h and MagickCore.h ===

ImageMagick defines _DLL in its pkg-config file to mark its API as imported from DLLs. However, the same symbol is also used by libgc, and we currently link it as a static library. To solve this conflict, two things were done:
* The bit that defines GC_DLL when _DLL is defined was removed.
* The pkg-config file was changed to define _MAGICKDLL_ instead of _DLL - this define is also supported in the MagickCore.h header.

===Potrace===

Now (Inkscape 0.92+) that we compile against an external Potrace library, libpotrace needs to be maintained in the devlibs. Nothing special except that you need to provide CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS for zlib:

$ CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devlibs/lib"
./configure --prefix /c/devlibs-update --with-libpotrace

== Rebuilding cairo ==

* Download and unzip a release of pixman and cairo from [http://cairographics.org cairographics.org].

* Run MSYS, and in its shell window, give the following commands:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/c/devlibs-update/lib/pkgconfig:/c/devlibs/lib/pkgconfig
$ PATH="/c/devlibs-update/bin:$PATH:/c/devlibs/bin"
$ PATH=$PATH:/c/devlibs/perl/bin
$ export LDFLAGS="-L/c/devlibs/lib -lpthreadGC2"

* cd to pixman source dir and do:

$ CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs/include" CXXFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update
$ make
$ make install

* then cd to the cairo source dir and do the same 3 commands

Done! Now in c:\devlibs-update\bin you will find the new libpixman-1-0.dll and libcairo-2.dll.

If you encounter a "previous declaration of 'ssize_t' was here" error when compiling, add "#define _SSIZE_T_DEFINED 1" in the config.h file in the cairo source folder. (error still present with cairo 1.12.14).

The same or similar procedure should work for other C libs.

== Rebuilding the gtkmm stack ==

The C++ libraries are: libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, pangomm, gtkmm. We use only header-only libraries from boost, so it doesn't need to be rebuilt - just copy the headers.

* Install Doxygen: gtkmm wants it, otherwise it won't build.

* Run MSYS. Set up paths the following way. The object of this is to build e.g. gtkmm using the glibmm you have just built.
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/c/devlibs-update/lib/pkgconfig:/c/devlibs/lib/pkgconfig
$ PATH="/c/devlibs-update/bin:$PATH:/c/devlibs/bin"
$ PATH="$PATH:/c/Program Files/Doxygen/bin"

* For C++11, setup the CXXFLAGS correctly. You have to add "-std=gnu++0x" (gcc) or "-std=c++11" (clang). (note that if you have to change CXXFLAGS later on, you should add "-std=gnu++0x"!)
$ export CXXFLAGS="-std=gnu++0x -O2"

* When using DW2 exception handling, extra stuff is needed. Also, if you need to point to another compiler, use CXX and CC:
$ export LDFLAGS="-shared-libgcc"
$ export CXX=g++-dw2
$ export CC=gcc-dw2

* For each C++ library, configure, build and install it. Do it in the following order: libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, pangomm, gtkmm. The commands should look like this:
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update
$ make
$ make install

* pangomm, cairomm and gtkmm seem to want Freetype2, but don't use pkg-config to find it. For them, do something like this. Note that those are backticks, not apostrophes.
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2 $FT2_CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="$FT2_LIBS" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update

* devlibs\include\fontconfig\fontconfig.h may give a warning with C++11, change
#define FC_CACHE_SUFFIX ".cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_DIR_CACHE_FILE "fonts.cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_USER_CACHE_FILE ".fonts.cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
to
#define FC_CACHE_SUFFIX ".cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_DIR_CACHE_FILE "fonts.cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_USER_CACHE_FILE ".fonts.cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
C++11 wants a space between string literals.

* giomm (which is part of glibmm) has a defective main header which includes Unix-specific stuff that is not built on Windows. Comment out the following three includes in C:\devlibs-update\include\giomm-2.4\giomm.h. Otherwise gtkmm will not build.
#include <giomm/desktopappinfo.h>
#include <giomm/unixinputstream.h>
#include <giomm/unixoutputstream.h>

* Prune C:\devlibs-update from unneeded stuff. In particular, you don't need static libraries, libtool files (.la), documentation and example programs. Note however that you DO need import libraries. They end with .dll.a - don't confuse them with static libraries that end with .a.

* Copy the contents of C:\devlibs-update to C:\devlibs and enjoy.

* Before the enjoyment can start, it may be that some pkg-config files are misconfigured. In my case C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gtkmm-2.4.pc had to be modified, 1st to include glibmm-2.4, and 2nd the version number comparisons had to be dropped (possibly because of old version of pkg-config.exe?). I had to correct the Requires: lines as follows:
C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gtkmm-2.4.pc
Requires: glibmm-2.4 atkmm-1.6 giomm-2.4 pangomm-1.4 gtk+-2.0 gdkmm-2.4
C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gdkmm-2.4.pc
Requires: cairomm-1.0 giomm-2.4 >= 2.27.93 pangomm-1.4 >= 2.27.1 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.24.0

* For TDM-GCC 4.8.1, I have to delete devlibs/include/pthread.h because it is already supplied by the compiler and it will result in bad errors. windows.h is included by the devlibs/include/pthread.h, and fouls the complete namespace. (So you will see many name clashes, for example vpsc::Rectangle will clash if the namespace vpsc is not mentioned.

== Rebuilding other C++ libraries ==

Inkscape currently uses two non-gtkmm C++ libraries: Poppler and Magick++ (part of ImageMagick). There are currently problems with Poppler later than 0.12.1, see [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/487038 bug 487038] for status.

===Poppler===

Follow the procedure for the gtkmm stack outlines above, with the following modifications:

* Ensure that you have libtiff, libpng and libjpeg development files matching the versions supplied by GTK. They can be downloaded from the GTK+ Windows binaries page, but should also be included in Devlibs.
* Poppler complains that it wants libopenjpeg for JPEG2000 support. I have not been successful in building it correctly with MinGW, however.
* libjpeg headers are broken - they define types that have conflicting definitions in basetsd.h and rpcndr.h (part of Windows API). To fix this, do two things.
** Modify jmorecfg.h at line 162 - remove the final underscore. Apparently the include guards differ between the MS-supplied Win32 headers and the MinGW-supplied ones. The header in devlibs has this modification applied.
#ifndef _BASETSD_H
** Comment out line 52 of c:\tdm-gcc\include\rpcndr.h
/*typedef unsigned char boolean;*/
* You need to add Perl you PATH (for glib-mkenums).
$ PATH="$PATH:/c/devlibs/perl/bin"
* Poppler doesn't use pkg-config. You need to explicitly pass it some flags, including those for freetype2. You also need to tell configure you want the internal headers, which Inkscape uses at the moment (but shouldn't: see [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254849 bug 254849]).
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" CFLAGS="-O2"
CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs-update/include -I/c/devlibs/include $FT2_CFLAGS"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devibs-update/lib -L/c/devlibs/lib $FT2_LIBS
./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update --enable-xpdf-headers

===ImageMagick===

ImageMagick needs the Freetype2 treatment. Additionally, the version of libtool it uses is retarded in some way, because it can't find the compiler's libgomp. You need to specify the compiler's library dir explicitly.
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" CFLAGS="-O2"
CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs-update/include -I/c/devlibs/include $FT2_CFLAGS"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devibs-update/lib -L/c/devlibs/lib $FT2_LIBS
-L/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.1"
./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update --disable-static --without-perl

===Potrace===

Now (Inkscape 0.92+) that we compile against an external Potrace library, libpotrace needs to be maintained in the devlibs. Nothing special except that you need to provide CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS for zlib:

$ CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devlibs/lib"
./configure --prefix /c/devlibs-update --with-libpotrace

== Generating import libraries from DLLs ==

MinGW requires an import library to link against DLLs using -l switches. Fortunately, it's usually possible to generate it from the DLL. Here's how to do this.
* Download the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW%20pexports/pexports-0.44-1/pexports-0.44-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma/download <tt>pexports</tt> utility] from MinGW and unpack it somewhere into your PATH.
* Navigate to the DLL directory and say this:
pexports some.dll > some.def
dlltool -D some.dll -d some.def -l libsome.dll.a
* Move libsome.dll.a to the <tt>lib</tt> directory of devlibs. You have to use a name that matches the pattern lib*.dll.a. Delete the .def file that was generated as a side effect.
* Now you can link against somelib.dll using -lsome.
* If you rename the DLL, you'll have to regenerate the import library and relink any libraries and executables linked against that DLL.

== Generating libboost_python for py2geom ==

'''Unfortunately, our version of Boost (1.34) does not support our gcc version. So you cannot follow these instructions at this moment. We have to upgrade our Boost version to 1.37 or higher to be able to build it with our gcc... See the [http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=45798 bug report here]. I have uploaded my old libboost_python binaries to devlibs, built using MinGW 4.2.1'''

This concerns generating lib\libboost_python.a and lib\libboost_python.dll, required for building and using py2geom (lib2geom's python bindings). I have followed the [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/python/doc/building.html procedure described by Boost].

* download Boost's source (not the latest Boost version, but the Boost version that is included in the devlibs!)
* figure out how to get the bjam build program.
* go to the commandline and to the root of the Boost you downloaded (in my case c:\boost, and make sure gcc is in the path (run Inkscape's mingwenv.bat)
* execute

C:\Boost> bjam --with-python --toolset=gcc

* Boost will build a variety of different libboost_python binaries in the "bin.v2" directory. For py2geom, we want the dynamically linked library. The files we want are located in bin.v2\libs\python\build\gcc-mingw-4.2.1\release. Copy "libboost_python-mgw42-1_34_1.a" and "libboost_python-mgw42-1_34_1.dll" to devlibs\lib, and rename them to libboost_python.a and libboost_python.dll.
* Commit to bzr and you are done!

Inkscape Devlibs

2015-12-31T11:07:45Z

JazzyNico: /* Rebuilding other C++ libraries */

Inkscape Devlibs are a bundle of libraries and tools used to compile Inkscape. It is hosted in a [https://launchpad.net/inkscape-devlibs Launchpad repository]. Here's some information for those who need to maintain them and rebuild all or part of the libraries.

== What you need to start ==

* Install the [http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ TDM-GCC] build of MinGW into c:\mingw (or any other folder). This is the compiler.

* Install [http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys MSYS]. This is the Unix-like build environment including a shell. When you run the MSYS installer, at the end it will ask you if you have MinGW installed and if so, where. Specify the directory where you installed MinGW.
Make sure that you are using MSYS's make inside MSYS, instead of MinGW's make. You will need a recent version of MSYS, use mingw-get to install it. (make version 3.81 works for me)

* Check out the current devlibs into C:\devlibs from Launchpad repository (see [[Win32Port]]).

* Download sources for the libraries you want to build. Released versions are recommended, not snapshots.

* Create an empty directory C:\devlibs-update. This is where the resulting compiled libraries will be placed. When you succeed, you'll have to copy them to c:\devlibs before recompiling Inkscape, so it can use the new libs.

== Updating the C part of devlibs ==

The C part of the GTK stack can be directly copied from official development bundles. Do not copy unneeded stuff like .lib, .def, static libraries, examples or documentation.

=== Rebuilding libgc ===

Use MSYS and this configure command. Tested with GC 7.1. Threading support does not work: GC 6.8 compiles but causes a segfault on startup, while GC 7.1 doesn't compile.
$ ./configure --enable-large-config --disable-shared --disable-threads
--prefix=/c/devlibs-update

Note: as of GC 7.3, libatomic_ops needs to be downloaded separately and installed in the GC source base directory (see http://www.hboehm.info/gc/#where).

=== Conflict between gc.h and MagickCore.h ===

ImageMagick defines _DLL in its pkg-config file to mark its API as imported from DLLs. However, the same symbol is also used by libgc, and we currently link it as a static library. To solve this conflict, two things were done:
* The bit that defines GC_DLL when _DLL is defined was removed.
* The pkg-config file was changed to define _MAGICKDLL_ instead of _DLL - this define is also supported in the MagickCore.h header.

== Rebuilding cairo ==

* Download and unzip a release of pixman and cairo from [http://cairographics.org cairographics.org].

* Run MSYS, and in its shell window, give the following commands:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/c/devlibs-update/lib/pkgconfig:/c/devlibs/lib/pkgconfig
$ PATH="/c/devlibs-update/bin:$PATH:/c/devlibs/bin"
$ PATH=$PATH:/c/devlibs/perl/bin
$ export LDFLAGS="-L/c/devlibs/lib -lpthreadGC2"

* cd to pixman source dir and do:

$ CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs/include" CXXFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update
$ make
$ make install

* then cd to the cairo source dir and do the same 3 commands

Done! Now in c:\devlibs-update\bin you will find the new libpixman-1-0.dll and libcairo-2.dll.

If you encounter a "previous declaration of 'ssize_t' was here" error when compiling, add "#define _SSIZE_T_DEFINED 1" in the config.h file in the cairo source folder. (error still present with cairo 1.12.14).

The same or similar procedure should work for other C libs.

$ CXXFLAGS="-O2 $FT2_CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="$FT2_LIBS" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update

* devlibs\include\fontconfig\fontconfig.h may give a warning with C++11, change
#define FC_CACHE_SUFFIX ".cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_DIR_CACHE_FILE "fonts.cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION

* When using DW2 exception handling, extra stuff is needed. Also, if you need to point to another compiler, use CXX and CC:
$ export LDFLAGS="-shared-libgcc"
$ export CXX=g++-dw2
$ export CC=gcc-dw2

* For each C++ library, configure, build and install it. Do it in the following order: libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, pangomm, gtkmm. The commands should look like this:
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update
$ make
$ make install

* pangomm, cairomm and gtkmm seem to want Freetype2, but don't use pkg-config to find it. For them, do something like this. Note that those are backticks, not apostrophes.
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2 $FT2_CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="$FT2_LIBS" ./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update

* devlibs\include\fontconfig\fontconfig.h may give a warning with C++11, change
#define FC_CACHE_SUFFIX ".cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_DIR_CACHE_FILE "fonts.cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_USER_CACHE_FILE ".fonts.cache-"FC_CACHE_VERSION
to
#define FC_CACHE_SUFFIX ".cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_DIR_CACHE_FILE "fonts.cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
#define FC_USER_CACHE_FILE ".fonts.cache-" FC_CACHE_VERSION
C++11 wants a space between string literals.

* giomm (which is part of glibmm) has a defective main header which includes Unix-specific stuff that is not built on Windows. Comment out the following three includes in C:\devlibs-update\include\giomm-2.4\giomm.h. Otherwise gtkmm will not build.
#include <giomm/desktopappinfo.h>
#include <giomm/unixinputstream.h>
#include <giomm/unixoutputstream.h>

* Prune C:\devlibs-update from unneeded stuff. In particular, you don't need static libraries, libtool files (.la), documentation and example programs. Note however that you DO need import libraries. They end with .dll.a - don't confuse them with static libraries that end with .a.

* Copy the contents of C:\devlibs-update to C:\devlibs and enjoy.

* Before the enjoyment can start, it may be that some pkg-config files are misconfigured. In my case C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gtkmm-2.4.pc had to be modified, 1st to include glibmm-2.4, and 2nd the version number comparisons had to be dropped (possibly because of old version of pkg-config.exe?). I had to correct the Requires: lines as follows:
C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gtkmm-2.4.pc
Requires: glibmm-2.4 atkmm-1.6 giomm-2.4 pangomm-1.4 gtk+-2.0 gdkmm-2.4
C:\devlibs\lib\pkgconfig\gdkmm-2.4.pc
Requires: cairomm-1.0 giomm-2.4 >= 2.27.93 pangomm-1.4 >= 2.27.1 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.24.0

* For TDM-GCC 4.8.1, I have to delete devlibs/include/pthread.h because it is already supplied by the compiler and it will result in bad errors. windows.h is included by the devlibs/include/pthread.h, and fouls the complete namespace. (So you will see many name clashes, for example vpsc::Rectangle will clash if the namespace vpsc is not mentioned.

== Rebuilding other C++ libraries ==

Inkscape currently uses two non-gtkmm C++ libraries: Poppler and Magick++ (part of ImageMagick). There are currently problems with Poppler later than 0.12.1, see [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/487038 bug 487038] for status.

===Poppler===

Follow the procedure for the gtkmm stack outlines above, with the following modifications:

* Ensure that you have libtiff, libpng and libjpeg development files matching the versions supplied by GTK. They can be downloaded from the GTK+ Windows binaries page, but should also be included in Devlibs.
* Poppler complains that it wants libopenjpeg for JPEG2000 support. I have not been successful in building it correctly with MinGW, however.
* libjpeg headers are broken - they define types that have conflicting definitions in basetsd.h and rpcndr.h (part of Windows API). To fix this, do two things.
** Modify jmorecfg.h at line 162 - remove the final underscore. Apparently the include guards differ between the MS-supplied Win32 headers and the MinGW-supplied ones. The header in devlibs has this modification applied.
#ifndef _BASETSD_H
** Comment out line 52 of c:\tdm-gcc\include\rpcndr.h
/*typedef unsigned char boolean;*/
* You need to add Perl you PATH (for glib-mkenums).
$ PATH="$PATH:/c/devlibs/perl/bin"
* Poppler doesn't use pkg-config. You need to explicitly pass it some flags, including those for freetype2. You also need to tell configure you want the internal headers, which Inkscape uses at the moment (but shouldn't: see [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254849 bug 254849]).
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" CFLAGS="-O2"
CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs-update/include -I/c/devlibs/include $FT2_CFLAGS"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devibs-update/lib -L/c/devlibs/lib $FT2_LIBS
./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update --enable-xpdf-headers

===ImageMagick===

ImageMagick needs the Freetype2 treatment. Additionally, the version of libtool it uses is retarded in some way, because it can't find the compiler's libgomp. You need to specify the compiler's library dir explicitly.
$ FT2_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags freetype2`
$ FT2_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs freetype2`
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2" CFLAGS="-O2"
CPPFLAGS="-I/c/devlibs-update/include -I/c/devlibs/include $FT2_CFLAGS"
LDFLAGS="-L/c/devibs-update/lib -L/c/devlibs/lib $FT2_LIBS
-L/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.1"
./configure --prefix=/c/devlibs-update --disable-static --without-perl

== Generating import libraries from DLLs ==

MinGW requires an import library to link against DLLs using -l switches. Fortunately, it's usually possible to generate it from the DLL. Here's how to do this.
* Download the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW%20pexports/pexports-0.44-1/pexports-0.44-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma/download <tt>pexports</tt> utility] from MinGW and unpack it somewhere into your PATH.
* Navigate to the DLL directory and say this:
pexports some.dll > some.def
dlltool -D some.dll -d some.def -l libsome.dll.a
* Move libsome.dll.a to the <tt>lib</tt> directory of devlibs. You have to use a name that matches the pattern lib*.dll.a. Delete the .def file that was generated as a side effect.
* Now you can link against somelib.dll using -lsome.
* If you rename the DLL, you'll have to regenerate the import library and relink any libraries and executables linked against that DLL.

== Generating libboost_python for py2geom ==

'''Unfortunately, our version of Boost (1.34) does not support our gcc version. So you cannot follow these instructions at this moment. We have to upgrade our Boost version to 1.37 or higher to be able to build it with our gcc... See the [http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=45798 bug report here]. I have uploaded my old libboost_python binaries to devlibs, built using MinGW 4.2.1'''

This concerns generating lib\libboost_python.a and lib\libboost_python.dll, required for building and using py2geom (lib2geom's python bindings). I have followed the [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/python/doc/building.html procedure described by Boost].

* download Boost's source (not the latest Boost version, but the Boost version that is included in the devlibs!)
* figure out how to get the bjam build program.
* go to the commandline and to the root of the Boost you downloaded (in my case c:\boost, and make sure gcc is in the path (run Inkscape's mingwenv.bat)
* execute

C:\Boost> bjam --with-python --toolset=gcc

* Boost will build a variety of different libboost_python binaries in the "bin.v2" directory. For py2geom, we want the dynamically linked library. The files we want are located in bin.v2\libs\python\build\gcc-mingw-4.2.1\release. Copy "libboost_python-mgw42-1_34_1.a" and "libboost_python-mgw42-1_34_1.dll" to devlibs\lib, and rename them to libboost_python.a and libboost_python.dll.
* Commit to bzr and you are done!

== Extensions ==

=== Plotter Driver ===

==== Multiple Pens ====
The Plotter driver (Extensions -> Export -> Plot) can now handle multiple pens to create colorful drawings on Pen Plotters:
* Create a layer for every pen to use and move the corresponding drawings into it
* Name the layer with a title like "Pen 1" or "MyLayerName Pen 1", where the number corresponds to the pen number the plotter should use
* The layer name always overrides the standard pen setting in the plot menu

==== Serial Connection ====
The connection settings now allow you to specify rarely used serial connection settings like byte size, stop bits and parity. Most plotters use the default settings, so only change these if you know what you are doing.

=== HPGL Export ===

The HPGL export (File -> Save as -> HP Grafics Language file) has now the same multiple pens feature as the [[#Plotter Driver]].

=== HPGL Import ===

The HPGL import (File -> Open -> Select .hpgl file) can now import multiple pens into corresponding layers, see [[#Plotter Driver]] for more information.

== Other user interface ==

Snapping in the node tool has been improved:

* When double clicking to insert new nodes, the position of these new nodes will snap to for example path intersections and to path-guide intersections
* When grabbing a segment of a path and dragging it to deform it, the pointer will now snap

== Translations ==
New UI translations for Assamese, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri (Perso-Arabic and Devanagari), Kokani (Roman and Devanagari scripts), Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri (Meetei Mayek and Bengali scripts), Marathi, Odia, Santali (Devnagari and Ol-Chiki scripts), Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Urdu (Perso-Arabic and Devanagari scripts).

JazzyNico: "Translating Windows installer" update

Go Back to the main [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Translation_information Translation information] page.

== Introduction to PO file format ==

If you've never translated a PO file before, you will find its syntax very simple. The PO format is a really simple format, which probably at least partly explains its success and widespread use. The format is basically a hash list consisting of msgid and msgstr pairs, with the msgid being the original English string and key, and the msgstr being the translated value of it. Below is an example of a message.

#: gedit/dialogs/gedit-plugin-program-location-dialog.c:78
#: gedit/dialogs/program-location-dialog.glade2.h:2
msgid "Set program location..."
msgstr "Ställ in programplats..."

In addition to the msgid and msgstr parts, a message usually also has lines starting with #: that tells what source files and what lines the string used as msgid was extracted from. These lines have no syntactic value. They are only there as a help for translators and developers to know where a message came from.

A message in a PO file can be in one of essentially three different states. The message can be translated, fuzzy, or untranslated. A message counts as translated as soon as the msgstr part of it is non-empty. In a similar manner, an untranslated message is one where the msgstr is empty. The fuzzy state is special and essentially means that there is a translation in the msgstr part, but that this translation is most likely not entirely correct, and that it thus needs manual attention by a translator. A message can become fuzzy in one of two ways:

* The original string that the msgid represents was changed in the source code. A typo in the string may have been fixed or the string altered in some other way. The translator needs to check that the msgstr is still valid and make changes if necessary.
* A new string has been added to the source, and the string is very similar, but not identical, to the msgid of an already existing, translated message. Then the msgstr of that message will be automatically reused for the new message, but the new message will also at the same time be marked fuzzy so that the translator knows there is some difference that he or she needs to adapt the translation to match.

There is always one special message in each valid PO file: the PO file header. It is encoded with the msgid for the empty string ("") as the key, and the actual header values are in the msgstr part. This unfortunately means that if you mark an empty string for translation, you will get the entire PO file header back as the "translation". In almost all cases this is probably not what you want. Hence, do not mark empty strings for translation.

== Get the PO file for your language ==

Download the .po file for your language from here:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/files/head:/po/

If a .po file for your language does not yet exist, then you will have to get an empty template file to start a new translation.
You may also need to use the updated template file (mentioned blow) to bring the .po file up to date with new strings introduced in the UI.

The most straightforward way to obtain the inkscape.pot template is to download it from here:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/annotate/head:/po/inkscape.pot

Alternatively, you can checkout the full BZR project repository and generate the project template. Information on how to get the source tree can be found [http://inkscape.org/bzr.php?lang=en here]. Then, you have to follow some steps in order to generate the template:

1. "./autogen.sh"
2. "./configure"
3. enter the "po" directory: "cd po"
4. generate the current PO template: "intltool-update --pot"

To make an absolutely up-to-date translation (in case the PO file in BZR is not up-to-date enough),

1. update your local copy of Inkscape in the usual way: "bzr pull"
2. merge your existing translations into the new POT file (inkscape.pot):

"msgmerge your_latest_PO_file inkscape.pot > new_PO_file"

If you want to update ALL .po files in po/, cd there and run:

make update-po

Now that you have an empty PO template, you can start translating the messages.

You can track progress of all Inkscape translations here (unofficial, maintained by [http://twitter.com/mfloryan mfloryan]):
http://mfloryan.statnet.pl/inkscape/

== Tools for translators ==

You can edit PO files from any plain text editor, since they are simple text files. However, many useful tools have been developed to provide a simple experience translating PO files.

* emacs' po-mode (contained in the gettext distribution; the version in po-utils is old)
* kbabel (http://i18n.kde.org/tools/kbabel/)
* gtranslator (http://gtranslator.sourceforge.net/)
* poEdit (http://www.poedit.net/)
* GEdit (installed on GNOME desktops) has a syntax highlight mode for PO file syntax.
* [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/virtaal/index Virtaal] - cross-platform PO editor that is clean, simple to use yet powerful.

And last but not least, [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/ gettext] utils, which are installed on every linux distribution. You can see a complete reference too from installed info pages by running the command:

info gettext

== A few important things to remember ==

* Some strings that can be ambiguous or having several meanings according to different contexts may have a context prefix : "Context|Amibiguous string". In this case, simply translate "Ambiguous string", the "Context|" string is just a not to translate indication. (Some info on how to disambiguate a string can be found [http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-I18N.html#Q-:CAPS here].)
* After translating a fuzzy string (one that is marked with a ", fuzzy" comment), please remove its "fuzzy" tag -- otherwise this translation will be discarded by the build process, meaning that this string will show up untranslated. KBabel can do this automatically (see KBabel settings).
* Before publishing your work (after you have finished updating the PO file), please update the "PO-Revision-Date" and "Last-Translator" fields in the PO file header. KBabel can do this automatically.

== Review ==

This is the start of a list of places to get translation reviews done. So far:
http://www.linux.it/tp/

== Verification ==

Before submitting your file in the patch tracker, please make sure it is valid:
* Make sure the file is encoded in UTF-8
* Make sure it is a valid po file and obtain some statistics about it: simply run "msgfmt --statistics -cv translationFile.po" from a command window
* Make sure it is correctly formatted: run "check-markup translationFile.po" from a command window and verify it doesn't output any error message. "check-markup" perl script can be found in the /po directory of Inkscape svn trunk

== Locale Testing ==

Before reporting that a locale doesn't work in Inkscape, you need to make sure that your system has that locale correctly set up. To do this, you need to generally find a way to run "locale-gen". (Under Debian/Ubuntu this is via "dpkg-reconfigure locales".) If you set both the LANG and LANGUAGE variables and check a regular tool, you should see the correct language for both the libc error (first line) and the tool error (second line):

LANG=es_MX LANGUAGE=es_MX ls -z
ls: opción inválida -- z
Pruebe `ls --help' para más información.

If it reports the regular C messages, your locale has not been correctly configured, and you'll need to find the right way to run "locale-gen" for your distribution:

LANG=es_ES LANGUAGE=es_MX ls -z
ls: invalid option -- z
Try `ls --help' for more information.

== Submit finished work ==

Upload your work via the [[Launchpad]] bug tracker:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/

Report a new bug and attach your translated file to it. Don't forget to compress your file before uploading it.

Additionally, you may send a message to Inkscape's translators mailing list.

== Programmers ==
Please make sure you use [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_mono/gettext.html#SEC150 dgettext] for any pluralized strings.

= Windows installer translation =

'''This information seems to be (at least partially) outdated. Please contact our translators via mailing list or the answers section on launchpad, if you would like to help with this.'''

Strings for Windows installer are saved in *.nsh files. Each translation has its own file located in ''packaging\win32\'' directory of subversion checkout. Get this file in similar way of getting *.po file.
=== Translating ===
# Get the file according to your language. If there is not such a file, copy ''english.nsh'' file and rename it to ''yourlanguage.nsh''.
# Translate strings in the file
# Change header information in '''yourlanguage.nsh''' file (language name, [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb895996.aspx local ID], [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964654 windows code page] and authors list) to proper values.

=== Testing the translation ===
# This part is optional but recommended. For this part you need [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS installer] and run <pre>make -f Makefile.mingw dist</pre> command after succesfull compilation of Inkscape. This command prepares binary of Inkscape for installator creation.
# Add filename of your file to '''inkscape.nsi''' file, "STRING LOCALIZATION" section, "Language files" subsection.
# Right click on the inkscape.nsi file and choose "Compile NSIS Script". The installer compilation will start.
# When the installer is finished, run it to test translations of strings in Installer and Uninstaller parts.
# If the translation is tested succesfully, submit it to the patch tracker at sourceforge.net and mark as "Translation". If you haven't tested your translation yet, submit it too but enter this information to the patch information. You will be contacted about its correctness.

= Default template translation =

* To translate default template, modify the default.svg file and save it as default.xx.svg where "xx" is ISO code of your language. The file can be found in ''/usr/share/inkscape/templates/'' directory on Linux, or ''C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\templates\'' directory on MS Windows(tm). Also you can get it from [http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/share/templates/ SVN repository].
* You need to modify your PO translation as well to use your localized default template. Look up for a msgid "default.svg" on the PO file and translate it accordingly to the file name of the localized template.
* To test it, save it to the proper location and restart Inkscape. Default document should be now based on your localized template. (This is valid if your system is properly set to your locales).
* Upload default.xx.svg to the patch tracker.

To translate default template can be used Inkscape as well as any UTF-8 encoding capable text editor.

Release notes/0.91

2014-12-07T07:29:05Z

JazzyNico: /* Translations */

{{Other languages|en=Release_notes/0.91}}

==Inkscape 0.91==

'''(not released yet - [[AnnouncePlanning091]])'''

==Release highlights==

Released on '''«YYYY-MM-DD»'''.

* Cairo rendering for display and PNG export
* OpenMP multithreading for all filters
* C++ code conversion
* Major improvements in the Text tool, typography extensions
* Measure tool
* Type design features
* Symbol library and support for Visio stencils
* Cross platform WMF and EMF import and export
* Improved support for Corel DRAW documents, Visio importer
* Support for real world document and page size units, e.g. millimeters
* Numerous usability improvements
* Native Windows 64-bit build
* See [[Release_notes/0.91#Notable_bug_fixes|Notable bug fixes]]

==Rendering and performance==

Inkscape 0.91 includes a new renderer based on the Cairo library. This work was done mainly during Google Summer of Code 2010 and 2011 projects.

* '''Improved performance.''' The new renderer is significantly faster on most drawings. Renderings of the most complex objects are automatically cached to improve responsiveness during editing.
* '''OpenMP multithreading for filters.''' Filters use all available processor cores for computation. This results in substantial speedups when editing drawings containing large filtered objects on multi-core systems.
* '''Substantial memory savings.''' Inkscape now uses less memory when opening complex drawings, in some cases using only 25% of the memory used by Inkscape 0.48. Larger files can now be opened.
* '''Responsiveness improvements.''' The rendering of the SVG drawing is now cached. This results in massive improvements in responsiveness of path highlights, object selection / deselection, and path editing in delayed update mode.
* '''Rendering bug fixes.''' Most of the rendering glitches in our bug tracker are no longer present in Inkscape 0.91. The following things now render correctly:
** Pattern fills (no more gaps between tiles, regardless of transformation)
** Stroke of transformed objects in patterns
** Patterns containing clipped objects
** Nested clipping paths
** Masked and clipped objects with large masks / clipping paths in Outline view
** Paths with wide strokes and long miters

===Color display mode===

A '''grayscale''' display color mode has been added, that shows a preview of your drawing in grayscale. <kbd>Shift+numpad5</kbd> toggles the color display mode between normal and grayscale.

==Tools==

=== Node tool ===
The tool control bar for the Node Tool features a new dropdown to insert new nodes on the selected segments extreme values. For example, (as demonstrated in the image below) it is possible to add a new node at the highest point in a curve using '''Insert Node at Max Y'''

[[File:Add nodes at max.gif]]

=== Measurement tool ===
The Measurement tool is a new feature for the artist to measure the elements in their drawing. To use the measurement tool, simply choose the tool, click anywhere on the drawing and drag the ruler out. The measurement tool will live-update with measurements of length and angles as you pass over objects in your drawing.

[[File:Ruler.png]]

=== Text tool ===
* Text size default unit is now points (<code>pt</code>) and is customizable (<code>px</code>,<code>pt</code>,<code>pc</code>,<code>mm</code>,<code>cm</code>,<code>in</code>,<code>em</code>)
* Text toolbar shows full list of font style variants for that font
* Files with text in <code>em</code> units read correctly
* Font substitution warning dialog

=== Gradients ===
* Gradient toolbar enhanced to select and modify gradient stops, invert, repeat, and link gradients
* On-canvas gradient editing fixes: double clicking to create stops, correct focus on select
* Gradients sortable by color, name and usage in Fill/Stroke
* Gradients can be renamed in Fill/Stroke

== Dialogs, etc. ==

=== Arrange (was rows and columns) ===
- '''NEW:''' renamed to 'Arrange'
- '''NEW:''' polar arrangement (separate tab)
<http://issuu.com/ddeclara/docs/inkscape_radial_arrangement>

=== Align and Distribute ===
* The new updated Inkscape features a new set of buttons in the '''Align and Distribute Dialog''' called '''Exchange position of selected objects'''. It adds the ability to exchange the positions of the objects that the artist has selected.
** In the following example, three objects were selected, and their positions were exchaged with each other (using this new feature) according to their selection order.
[[File:Swap-objects.gif]]
** There are also two other new buttons in the dialog that allow the artist to exchange the selected objects based on the stacking (<code>z-index</code>) order, or just exchange them clockwise based on the object's position on the page.

* Keyboard shortcuts (<kbd>Ctrl+Alt+Keypad numbers</kbd>) for align operations

=== Document Properties ===
Optionally disable antialiasing (bug #170356, interface partially implemented)

=== Find/Select ===
* It is now easier to select items which are not at the top of the Z-order: use <kbd>Alt+mouse wheel scroll</kbd> to cycle through all items that are stacked on top of each other at the location of the mouse pointer (use <kbd>Shift+Alt+mouse wheel</kbd> scroll to add to the existing selection). At present, groups are not honoured, i.e., only individual items within groups are considered.
* New '''Find/Replace''' dialog can operate on text or any attribute
* "Select Same" is a new feature that allows an artist to select objects that have the same properties as the currently selected object. For example, you could select an object that has a fill of blue. Then, using the new feature select all other objects in the drawing with a fill set to that same shade of blue.

[[File:Selectsame.gif]]

The new feature is a menu choice under '''Edit ▶︎ Select Same''' or as a Context menu if you right click on a selected object. Also there are other choices available to select same, including: matching both Fill and Stroke, matching just stroke, matching stroke style, or matching on object type.

=== Fill and Stroke ===
* The Gradient view in the fill and stroke dialog now displays a list of all the gradients in the document. The list displays the gradient, the gradient name, and number of uses of that gradient in the document.
[[File:Gradient-fill-stroke.png‎]]

* More compact Markers selectors

=== Layers ===
* Drag and drop to reorder layers and create sublayers
* '''Show/Hide All layers''' options in context menu

=== Symbols ===

Inkscape has a new Symbols dialog. The dialog displays symbols from a symbol library. Inkscape 0.91 includes five example libraries: logic symbols, AIGA/DOT transportation symbols, map symbols, flow chart shapes and word balloons. The dialog will also create a pseudo-library of all existing symbols in the current Inkscape drawing.
(A symbol is defined by an SVG <code><symbol></code> element.) Symbols can be dragged from the dialog onto the Inkscape canvas.


Any document with symbols can serve as a source for a symbol library. Simply copy it to the <code class="file">symbols</code> directory in your configuration directory (typically <code class="file">share/inkscape</code>). If proper care is taken, symbols can be provided with default fill and stroke colors that later can be overridden by the user.

Visio Stencil files (<code class="file">.vss</code>) can also be used by dropping them in the same <code class="file">symbols</code> directory. Results may not be as satisfactory as using SVG symbol libraries.

See the [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SymbolsDialog Symbols Dialog] Wiki page for more details.

=== Text and Font ===
* '''NEW:''' lists fonts used in the current document at the top
* '''NEW:''' select all text objects with same font as current selection
* '''NEW (to be verified):''' support list with fallback fonts (CSS2)

=== Transform ===
* Rotation of objects clockwise or counterclockwise

=== Markers ===
* Markers now take objects color

=== Trace Bitmap ===
* Trace bitmap preview updates live and is resizeable

===Live Path Effects===

An object's '''Live Path Effects''' are now forked upon object duplication.

====PowerStroke====

Here a list of the current state. Note that this is very much work in progress and '''anything can change'''. I think this is the most efficient place of keeping track how the powerstroke LPE works.

* Stroke knots are purple diamonds
* When first applied, 3 stroke knots are added: start, end, and somewhere in the middle along the path
* '''Add nodes:''' <kbd>Ctrl+click</kbd> purple knot
* '''Delete nodes:''' <kbd>Ctrl+Alt+click</kbd> purple knot
* "sort points" reorders the stroke knots according to where they lie along the path (where they are closest to the path), instead of keeping them in original order.
* Start and end caps can be specified. The SVG cap types are available, as well as an extra type, "Zero width", that is identical to adding a width control knot at the start/end of the path with zero width.
* Join type can be specified. In addition to the SVG join types, there are two new types:
** '''Extrapolated''': this extrapolates the contour of the stroked path to obtain a more natural looking miter join.
** '''Extrapolated arc''': [http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/LINEJOIN/index.html Mathematical explanation].
** '''Spiro''': rounds the join using a spiro curve (the '''rounded''' type rounds the curve using an elliptical arc).

====Clone Original====
The Clone original LPE ignores the path data of the path it has been applied to; instead, it '''copies the original-d path data''', i.e. the path data before LPE calculation, from the path linked to by the Linked path parameter.

The Clone original LPE is made to be used in conjunction with powerstroke. Powerstroke creates a path with a variable stroke, but this path can then not be filled (because the fill is used as the stroke). To fill a powerstroked path, one must create a second path (dummy path), apply the Clone original LPE and link it to the powerstroked path. Because this second path clones the original path data before the Powerstroke LPE, it can be used to fill the powerstroked path.

To quickly create a dummy path and apply this effect, one can select the path to 'clone' and click the menu item '''Edit ▶︎ Clone ▶︎ Clone original path (LPE)'''.

Like for normal clones, pressing <kbd>Shift+D</kbd>, when the selected path has the Clone original LPE applied, selects the path referred to by the LPE.

Another very useful ability of the Clone original LPE is to create a clone with a different style than its referred path. To facilitate this, the LPE dialog will add the Clone original LPE when a clone is selected and the "+" button is pressed.

===Filters===
The new Custom predefined filters allow users to create predefined filters with custom parameters. See [[SpecCustomPredefinedFilters]].

=== Trace Pixel Art (<code>libdepixelize</code>) ===
A [https://launchpad.net/libdepixelize new library] developed for Inkscape to automatically vectorize raster images specialized in Pixel Art was integrated in the form of the "Trace Pixel Art" dialog (menu item '''Path ▶︎ Trace Pixel Art...'''). Good and old general "Trace Bitmap" is still there. Check the [http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/kopf/pixelart/supplementary/index.html supplementary material] of the algorithm authors to see a preview of how the algorithm behaves.

==Other User Interface==

=== General ===
* Canvas background color can be set without exporting it (background transparency is only used for export but not the canvas).

=== Guides ===
* Guides visibility can be toggled by clicking the ruler
* Guides can now have labels, and the colour of individual guides can also be set by the user. To label or colour a guide, double click on the guideline to bring up the guide properties dialog.
[[File:Labelled-guides.png]]

=== Menu/Access ===

* The interface elements are accessible through the keyboard with <kbd>ALT+key</kbd> in many more dialogs
* "Text and Font", "Fill and Stroke", and "Check Spelling" dialogs are added to the text object context menu (right click)
* Menu items renamed:
** '''Edit ▶︎ Preferences'''
** '''Edit ▶︎ Input Devices'''
** '''File ▶︎ Cleanup Document'''
* Checkboxes to indicated status of View ▶︎ Grid/Guides/Snap/Color Management
* Group/Ungroup from the context menu

=== Preferences ===
* New keyboard shortcut editor
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Interface''' -- New option for dockbar and switcher style (icons, text, icons & text) (bug #1098416)
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Interface ▶︎ Windows''' -- optionally don't save & restore documents viewport (bug #928205)
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Behavior ▶︎ Steps''' -- unit selector for steps (move, scale, inset/outset) (bug #170293)
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Behavior ▶︎ Steps''' -- option for relative snapping of guideline angles (rev 10307)
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Behavior ▶︎ Clones''' -- optionally relink linked offsets on duplication (bug #686193)
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Input/Output ▶︎ SVG output''' -- NEW: optionally enforce relative or absolute coordinates (bug #1002230)

=== Dialogs ===
* Dialog status and position is remembered between sessions
* Most dialogs now dockable (including "Object properties", "Object attributes", "Text and Font", "Check spelling", "Export PNG image", "XML editor", "Find/Replace", and "Tiled clones")
* New preference to allow Windows users to choose between native and Gtk Open/Save dialog
* Preferences dialog cleanup
* Document Metadata dialog merged into Document Properties

===Simple calculations in spinboxes===
In most spinboxes (a spinbox is an entry field with up and down "spinbuttons" next to it) you can now write simple calculations. Some examples:

* <samp>2 * 3</samp>
* <samp>50 + 100</samp>, or
* <samp>((12 + 34) * (5 + 5) - 2) / 2</samp>

Moreover, you can use units in entering values, like <samp>2 + 2 cm</samp>. The result will be converted to the selected unit for the particular entry.

===Configurable Control Handles===

New preferences have been added to allow for the size of the on-canvas controls to be increased or decreased. The "Input Devices" section has been updated to control this.

==Translations==
* The ''Keyboard and mouse reference'' (inkscape-docs project) and the labels of color palettes are now translatable.
* New UI translation in Latvian.
* New tutorial translations in Galician and Greek.
* New ''Keyboard and mouse reference'' translation in Belarusian.
* New man pages in Chinese (zh_TW) Greek (el), Japanese (ja) and Slovak (sk), and updated French translation. ''[Galician (gl) and Polish (pl) in progress]''
* Man pages now use PO files for translation (inkscape-docs project).
* The tutorial generation system now fully supports RTL languages.

==File format support==
* New Flash XML Graphics (FXG) export format.
* New Synfig Animation Studio (SIF) export format.
* New HTML5 Canvas export format
* New Visio (VSD) import format, based on [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libvisio libvisio].
* New internal CorelDraw (CDR) import format, based on [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libcdr libcdr].
* XAML export improvements (including a new Silverlight compatible mode).
* Compressed SVG and media export extension improvements. New options:
** set an image directory in the zip file
** add a text file that lists the fonts used in the SVG document.
* New preference to allow users to always link, embed or ask when importing bitmaps.
* New preferences that allow the checking of SVG on input and/or export for invalid or not useful elements, attributes, and properties. Options control whether such items generate warnings (when Inkscape is run from the command line) or in removing such items.
* The <code>--export-text-to-path</code> option now works with Plain SVG export.

===EMF/WMF===
EMF and WMF input and output filters have been completely rewritten and are now cross-platform. It is now possible to copy and paste EMF files between Windows applications running in Wine and a native Linux version of Inkscape.

===Gimp XCF===
* The '''Save Background''' option allows users to choose if the page background is saved with each GIMP layer.
* The exported layers now use the <code>label</code> attribute or, if not set, the <code>id</code> attribute
* New '''Resolution''' option
* New '''Help''' tab
* Some bugs and warnings fixed

===PDF===
* '''Bleed/margin:''' Added an option to specify an extra margin by which the bounding box to be exported is expanded. This may be helpful to export a PDF with a small white margin around the drawing, or for exporting a bleed region a few mm outside the area of the page.

===PDF/EPS/PS + LaTeX===
* Added the possibility of scaling the image. The <code>calc</code> package must be included in the preamble. Then the image can be scaled by defining <code>\svgscale</code> instead of <code>\svgwidth</code>.
* The font shape is now also exported. <code>\textit{}</code> for italic text, <code>\textbf{}</code> for bold text, and <code>\textsl{}</code> (slanted) for oblique text. It is important to note that '''Arial''' has an '''oblique''' font shape, not '''italic'''. Thus, the result in LaTeX will be '''slanted''', instead of '''italic'''. It is better to '''use another font''' in Inkscape when you want true italics.

==Extensions==
===Units: Breaking change===
Due to the implementation of proper document units, the functions <code>inkex.unittouu</code> and
<code>inkex.uutounit</code> had to be modified and moved to the <code>inkex.Effect</code> class.

Unit conversion calls should be replaced with <code>inkex.Effect.unittouu</code> and <code>inkex.Effect.uutounit</code> calls (usually <code>self.unittouu</code> and <code>self.uutounit</code>).

See also: [[Notes On Units Handling in Extensions in 0.91]]

===New===
* The new '''guillotine extension''' is used for exporting PNG slices from a drawing. The slice rectangles are defined by adding horizontal and vertical guides within the canvas boundary, the canvas boundary serves as the outside of the sliced area.
* The new [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code '''G-code'''] tools extension converts paths to G-code (using circular interpolation), makes offset paths and engraves sharp corners using cone cutters.
* New [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code QR code] generator.
* New '''isometric grid generator'''.
* New '''bitmap crop''' extension.
* New '''Extract text''' extension. Outputs a document’s text elements in a chosen order.
* New '''Merge text''' extension.
* New '''HSL adjust''' extension.
* New '''Replace font''' extension.
* New '''N-Up layout''' extension.
* New '''Voronoï diagram''' extension (creates Voronoï diagrams and Delaunay triangulations based on the selected objects' barycenter).
* New '''Interpolate Attribute''' in a group extension.
* New '''Typography extensions''' menu.
* New '''[http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2011/hershey-text-an-inkscape-extension-for-engraving-fonts/ Hershey Text]''' extension.

===Improvements===
* '''Number nodes.''' New parameters allowing users to choose the starting dot number and the numbering step between two nodes.
* '''Color Markers to Match Stroke''' extension improvements. The markers can now inherit the fill and stroke colors and alpha channels from the object, or be customized with color selectors in a separate tab.
* Optional sliders added on <code>float</code> and <code>int</code> extension parameters (full and minimal modes).
* Extension parameters values (''except attributes!'') can now be contextualized for translation (with <code>msgctxt</code>).
* New sub-menus in the '''Render''' menu, grouping the bar-codes, grids and layout extensions.

==SVG Support==

Rendering of the following properties is now supported (without UI except via XML editor):

* <code>clip-rule</code>
* <code>color-interpolation-filters</code>: Non-Inkscape filters that specify <code>linearRGB</code> color interpolation will render properly. Filters created inside Inkscape will still use <code>sRGB</code> color interpolation by default.
* <code>text-decoration</code>: Underline, strike-through, over line.
* <code>text-decoration-line</code>, <code>text-decoration-style</code>: Preliminary support (CSS 3).
* <code>paint-order</code>: Allows stroke to be painted under fill; useful for text.

== Snapping ==
* The snapping preferences and the snap toolbar have been reworked (in the underlying code and in the GUI) to should make the snapping preferences easier to understand, maintain, and find and fix any remaining snapping bugs
* Inkscape now also snaps perpendicularly and tangentialy to paths, when creating paths in the pen tool, when dragging nodes, or when manipulating guides. Newly created guides (dragged off the ruler) will snap perpendicularly or tangentialy to any curve that is being snapped to. Two checkboxes have been added to the document properties dialog (on the snapping tab). Please note that snapping perpendicularly or tangetialy will not work in the selector tool when transforming an object or a selection of objects.
* Intersections of paths and guides can now be snapped to too
* Snapping has been implemented fully for transforming selections of multiple nodes in the node tool
* Snapping to text anchors and baselines has been implemented properly
* If one has chosen for only snapping the snap source closest to the mouse pointer, then the tab key can be used to cycle to the next closest snap source

==Notable bug fixes==
Notable bug fixes since last bug fix release ([[Release notes/0.48.4|0.48.4]]):
* Images are no longer recompressed when embedding or exporting them. [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/871563]
* Relative image paths are no longer stored as absolute (regression introduced with [[Release notes/0.47|0.47]]).
* Many rendering glitches were fixed.
* The rendering of the stroke on transformed objects now matches the SVG specification.
* Values entered in the numeric input boxes for the selector tool (<code>X</code>, <code>Y</code>, <code>width</code>, <code>height</code>) are much more accurately applied.
* Inkscape launches faster due to new icon cache (on disk) and improved font loading. (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/488247 488247])

==Known issues==
* '''On MS Windows when the desktop colordepth is set to 16-bit, Inkscape is unusable because of exploding memory usage.''' Please set the '''colordepth''' to 32-bit.
* The Cairo library used in the new renderer does not implement downscaling, which causes large bitmaps to be pixelated on export. [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/804162] The issue can be fixed by upgrading to Cairo 1.14.0. [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41745]

* See [[Release_notes/0.91#Notable_bug_fixes|Notable bug fixes]]

==Rendering and performance==

Inkscape 0.91 includes a new renderer based on the Cairo library. This work was done mainly during Google Summer of Code 2010 and 2011 projects.

* '''Improved performance.''' The new renderer is significantly faster on most drawings. Renderings of the most complex objects are automatically cached to improve responsiveness during editing.
* '''OpenMP multithreading for filters.''' Filters use all available processor cores for computation. This results in substantial speedups when editing drawings containing large filtered objects on multi-core systems.
* '''Substantial memory savings.''' Inkscape now uses less memory when opening complex drawings, in some cases using only 25% of the memory used by Inkscape 0.48. Larger files can now be opened.
* '''Responsiveness improvements.''' The rendering of the SVG drawing is now cached. This results in massive improvements in responsiveness of path highlights, object selection / deselection, and path editing in delayed update mode.
* '''Rendering bug fixes.''' Most of the rendering glitches in our bug tracker are no longer present in Inkscape 0.91. The following things now render correctly:
** Pattern fills (no more gaps between tiles, regardless of transformation)
** Stroke of transformed objects in patterns
** Patterns containing clipped objects
** Nested clipping paths
** Masked and clipped objects with large masks / clipping paths in Outline view
** Paths with wide strokes and long miters
** Fonts

=== Trace Pixel Art (<code>libdepixelize</code>) ===
A [https://launchpad.net/libdepixelize new library] developed for Inkscape to automatically vectorize raster images specialized in Pixel Art was integrated in the form of the "Trace Pixel Art" dialog (menu item '''Path ▶︎ Trace Pixel Art...'''). Good and old general "Trace Bitmap" is still there. Check the [http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/kopf/pixelart/supplementary/index.html supplementary material] of the algorithm authors to see a preview of how the algorithm behaves.

==Other User Interface==

=== General ===
* Canvas background color can be set without exporting it (background transparency is only used for export but not the canvas).

=== Guides ===
* Guides visibility can be toggled by clicking the ruler
* Guides can now have labels, and the colour of individual guides can also be set by the user. To label or colour a guide, double click on the guideline to bring up the guide properties dialog.
[[File:Labelled-guides.png]]

=== Menu/Access ===

* The interface elements are accessible through the keyboard with <kbd>ALT+key</kbd> in many more dialogs
* "Text and Font", "Fill and Stroke", and "Check Spelling" dialogs are added to the text object context menu (right click)
* Menu items renamed:
** '''Edit ▶︎ Preferences'''
** '''Edit ▶︎ Input Devices'''
** '''File ▶︎ Cleanup Document'''
* Checkboxes to indicated status of View ▶︎ Grid/Guides/Snap/Color Management
* Group/Ungroup from the context menu

=== Preferences ===
* New keyboard shortcut editor
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Interface''' -- New option for dockbar and switcher style (icons, text, icons & text) (bug #1098416)
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Interface ▶︎ Windows''' -- optionally don't save & restore documents viewport (bug #928205)
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Behavior ▶︎ Steps''' -- unit selector for steps (move, scale, inset/outset) (bug #170293)
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Behavior ▶︎ Steps''' -- option for relative snapping of guideline angles (rev 10307)
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Behavior ▶︎ Clones''' -- optionally relink linked offsets on duplication (bug #686193)
* '''Prefs ▶︎ Input/Output ▶︎ SVG output''' -- NEW: optionally enforce relative or absolute coordinates (bug #1002230)

=== Dialogs ===
* Dialog status and position is remembered between sessions
* Most dialogs now dockable (including "Object properties", "Object attributes", "Text and Font", "Check spelling", "Export PNG image", "XML editor", "Find/Replace", and "Tiled clones")
* New preference to allow Windows users to choose between native and Gtk Open/Save dialog
* Preferences dialog cleanup
* Document Metadata dialog merged into Document Properties

===Simple calculations in spinboxes===
In most spinboxes (a spinbox is an entry field with up and down "spinbuttons" next to it) you can now write simple calculations. Some examples:

* <samp>2 * 3</samp>
* <samp>50 + 100</samp>, or
* <samp>((12 + 34) * (5 + 5) - 2) / 2</samp>

Moreover, you can use units in entering values, like <samp>2 + 2 cm</samp>. The result will be converted to the selected unit for the particular entry.

===Configurable Control Handles===

New preferences have been added to allow for the size of the on-canvas controls to be increased or decreased. The "Input Devices" section has been updated to control this.

==Translations==
* The ''Keyboard and mouse reference'' (inkscape-docs project) and the labels of color palettes are now translatable.
* New UI translation in Latvian.
* New tutorial translations in Galician and Greek.
* New man pages in Chinese (zh_TW) Greek (el), Japanese (ja) and Slovak (sk), and updated French translation. ''[Galician (gl) and Polish (pl) in progress]''
* Man pages now use PO files for translation (inkscape-docs project).
* The tutorial generation system now fully supports RTL languages.

==File format support==
* New Flash XML Graphics (FXG) export format.
* New Synfig Animation Studio (SIF) export format.
* New HTML5 Canvas export format
* New Visio (VSD) import format, based on [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libvisio libvisio].
* New internal CorelDraw (CDR) import format, based on [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libcdr libcdr].
* XAML export improvements (including a new Silverlight compatible mode).
* Compressed SVG and media export extension improvements. New options:
** set an image directory in the zip file
** add a text file that lists the fonts used in the SVG document.
* New preference to allow users to always link, embed or ask when importing bitmaps.
* New preferences that allow the checking of SVG on input and/or export for invalid or not useful elements, attributes, and properties. Options control whether such items generate warnings (when Inkscape is run from the command line) or in removing such items.
* The <code>--export-text-to-path</code> option now works with Plain SVG export.

===EMF/WMF===
EMF and WMF input and output filters have been completely rewritten and are now cross-platform. It is now possible to copy and paste EMF files between Windows applications running in Wine and a native Linux version of Inkscape.

===Gimp XCF===
* The '''Save Background''' option allows users to choose if the page background is saved with each GIMP layer.
* The exported layers now use the <code>label</code> attribute or, if not set, the <code>id</code> attribute
* New '''Resolution''' option
* New '''Help''' tab
* Some bugs and warnings fixed

===PDF===
* '''Bleed/margin:''' Added an option to specify an extra margin by which the bounding box to be exported is expanded. This may be helpful to export a PDF with a small white margin around the drawing, or for exporting a bleed region a few mm outside the area of the page.

===PDF/EPS/PS + LaTeX===
* Added the possibility of scaling the image. The <code>calc</code> package must be included in the preamble. Then the image can be scaled by defining <code>\svgscale</code> instead of <code>\svgwidth</code>.
* The font shape is now also exported. <code>\textit{}</code> for italic text, <code>\textbf{}</code> for bold text, and <code>\textsl{}</code> (slanted) for oblique text. It is important to note that '''Arial''' has an '''oblique''' font shape, not '''italic'''. Thus, the result in LaTeX will be '''slanted''', instead of '''italic'''. It is better to '''use another font''' in Inkscape when you want true italics.

==Extensions==
===Units: Breaking change===
Due to the implementation of proper document units, the functions <code>inkex.unittouu</code> and
<code>inkex.uutounit</code> had to be modified and moved to the <code>inkex.Effect</code> class.

Unit conversion calls should be replaced with <code>inkex.Effect.unittouu</code> and <code>inkex.Effect.uutounit</code> calls (usually <code>self.unittouu</code> and <code>self.uutounit</code>).

===New===
* The new '''guillotine extension''' is used for exporting PNG slices from a drawing. The slice rectangles are defined by adding horizontal and vertical guides within the canvas boundary, the canvas boundary serves as the outside of the sliced area.
* The new [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code '''G-code'''] tools extension converts paths to G-code (using circular interpolation), makes offset paths and engraves sharp corners using cone cutters.
* New [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code QR code] generator.
* New '''isometric grid generator'''.
* New '''bitmap crop''' extension.
* New '''Extract text''' extension. Outputs a document’s text elements in a chosen order.
* New '''Merge text''' extension.
* New '''HSL adjust''' extension.
* New '''Replace font''' extension.
* New '''N-Up layout''' extension.
* New '''Voronoï diagram''' extension (creates Voronoï diagrams and Delaunay triangulations based on the selected objects' barycenter).
* New '''Interpolate Attribute''' in a group extension.
* New '''Typography extensions''' menu.

===Improvements===
* '''Number nodes.''' New parameters allowing users to choose the starting dot number and the numbering step between two nodes.
* '''Color Markers to Match Stroke''' extension improvements. The markers can now inherit the fill and stroke colors and alpha channels from the object, or be customized with color selectors in a separate tab.
* Optional sliders added on <code>float</code> and <code>int</code> extension parameters (full and minimal modes).
* Extension parameters values (''except attributes!'') can now be contextualized for translation (with <code>msgctxt</code>).
* New sub-menus in the '''Render''' menu, grouping the bar-codes, grids and layout extensions.

==SVG Support==

Rendering of the following properties is now supported (without UI except via XML editor):

* <code>clip-rule</code>
* <code>color-interpolation-filters</code>: Non-Inkscape filters that specify <code>linearRGB</code> color interpolation will render properly. Filters created inside Inkscape will still use <code>sRGB</code> color interpolation by default.
* <code>text-decoration</code>: Underline, strike-through, over line.
* <code>text-decoration-line</code>, <code>text-decoration-style</code>: Preliminary support (CSS 3).
* <code>paint-order</code>: Allows stroke to be painted under fill; useful for text.

== Snapping ==
* The snapping preferences and the snap toolbar have been reworked (in the underlying code and in the GUI) to should make the snapping preferences easier to understand, maintain, and find and fix any remaining snapping bugs
* Inkscape now also snaps perpendicularly and tangentialy to paths, when creating paths in the pen tool, when dragging nodes, or when manipulating guides. Newly created guides (dragged off the ruler) will snap perpendicularly or tangentialy to any curve that is being snapped to. Two checkboxes have been added to the document properties dialog (on the snapping tab). Please note that snapping perpendicularly or tangetialy will not work in the selector tool when transforming an object or a selection of objects.
* Intersections of paths and guides can now be snapped to too
* Snapping has been implemented fully for transforming selections of multiple nodes in the node tool
* Snapping to text anchors and baselines has been implemented properly
* If one has chosen for only snapping the snap source closest to the mouse pointer, then the tab key can be used to cycle to the next closest snap source

==Notable bug fixes==
Notable bug fixes since last bug fix release ([[Release notes/0.48.4|0.48.4]]):
* Images are no longer recompressed when embedding or exporting them. [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/871563]
* Relative image paths are no longer stored as absolute (regression introduced with [[Release notes/0.47|0.47]]).
* Many rendering glitches were fixed.
* The rendering of the stroke on transformed objects now matches the SVG specification.
* Values entered in the numeric input boxes for the selector tool (<code>X</code>, <code>Y</code>, <code>width</code>, <code>height</code>) are much more accurately applied.

==Known issues==
* '''On MS Windows when the desktop colordepth is set to 16-bit, Inkscape is unusable because of exploding memory usage.''' Please set the '''colordepth''' to 32-bit.
* The Cairo library used in the new renderer does not implement downscaling, which causes large bitmaps to be pixelated on export. [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/804162] The issue can be fixed with an out-of-tree patch to Cairo. [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41745]

Tracking Dependencies

2014-04-04T09:59:38Z

JazzyNico: /* Poppler */

== Overview ==

We need help getting our basic lib dependencies listed out and kept up to date. Also we need to track which versions of which distros have the needed dependencies.

To get glib and GTK+ dependencies figured out, people can go through the API documentation and look for the 'since' entries saying when calls were added. Then look for those calls in our source. Voila! we'll have base minimum dependencies figured out.

== Libs ==

C++ bindings are not included, since their required versions match those of the C counterparts.

== Getting and Installing Source packages ==

If your distro does not have some packages available (like many don't, ie, Fedora Core 2), you must often download
source packages and build and install them yourself. Actually this is not that hard, and is similar to
doing a Gentoo 'emerge.'

* Usually you download a file with a name like somepackage-1.0.tar.gz. Unpack it with

$ tar zxf somepackage-1.0.tar.gz
or
$ tar jxf somepackage-1.0.tar.bz2

* Then 'cd' into the new directory.

* Configure it with the command:

$ ./configure

* Build it with:

$ make

* As the 'root' user, install it with:

# make install

=== Boehm-GC ===

Source: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source

* Download this file:
** http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/gc6.8.tar.gz
* Unpack it
** tar zxf gc6.8.tar.gz
* Configure and build it
** cd gc6.8
** ./configure --disable-shared --enable-static
** make
* Install it
** su (or however else you become root)
** make install

Binaries: If searching for a package for GC, the name of it is sometimes:

* gc
* libgc
* gc-devel
* libgc-devel
* boehm-gc (on Gentoo)
* debian/ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libgc-dev

=== libSigc++ ===

Source: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libsigc++/2.2/libsigc++-2.2.3.tar.bz2

With this file, and for GlibMM and GtkMM below, it is usually desirable for us developers to
build this C++ library statically. This removes a dependency that might be difficult for an
end-user during installation. Configure it with:

./configure --enable-static --disable-shared

=== GlibMM ===
Try to match your Glib2 version with GlibMM's version. For example, if your Glib2 is 2.16.6, download glibmm-2.16.4.tar.bz2.

Latest source: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glibmm/

=== GtkMM ===
Usually you can try the latest version of GtkMM, but if you get version mismatch errors, try older releases.

Source: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtkmm/2.12/gtkmm-2.12.7.tar.bz2

=== cairomm ===

if you got prompted about cairomm, try first solve your cairo version, so you can grab [http://www.cairographics.org/releases/ there] a compatible version.

=== Boost ===

Many users have reported when building from source that after installing the above dependencies, the configure script still requires a "boost" package. It can be found below, but even after installing, you will need to create a symlink to allow the configure script to find it:

ln -s /usr/local/include/boost_1_xx_x/boost /usr/local/include/boost

Source: http://www.boost.org/users/download/

=== Poppler ===

Source: http://poppler.freedesktop.org/

Poppler is required for PDF import. There are several potential issues:
* Some Linux distributions do not ship the Xpdf headers required by Inkscape. In such cases, you need to recompile Poppler, passing --enable-xpdf-headers on the configure line or install the libpoppler-private-dev package. See [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254849 this wishlist bug]. This typically manifests in error messages like this:
<pre>In file included from extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.cpp:19:
extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.h:32:23: error: CharTypes.h: No such file or directory
...
make[2]: *** [extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/inkscape-0.46/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/inkscape-0.46'
make: *** [all] Error 2</pre>
* Inkscape 0.47 does not compile with Poppler >= 0.12.2. If you need to compile Inkscape on such systems, use the development version from Bazaar, where this bug is fixed. See [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/487038 the bug report] for details and a minimal patch.
* Inkscape compiled with Poppler <= 0.12.1 will run on systems with Poppler >= 0.12.2, but the PDF import function will crash instantly. This problem does not concern Windows users, since the correct Poppler version is contained in the Windows installer package. This cannot be fixed on Inkscape's side: those two versions of Poppler are not ABI compatible, yet share the same soname. See [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/258504 this bug] for more details.
* Poppler's Xpdf headers are not guaranteed to be API-compatible between releases. It's likely that future Poppler versions will break PDF import in some way. PDF import works at least up to 0.12.4 but might not work with later versions.

* See [[Release_notes/0.49#Notable_bug_fixes|Notable bug fixes]]

==Rendering and performance==

Inkscape 0.49 includes a new renderer based on the Cairo library. This work was done mainly during Google Summer of Code 2010 and 2011 projects.
* '''Improved performance.''' The new renderer is significantly faster on most drawings. Renderings of the most complex objects are automatically cached to improve responsiveness during editing.
* '''OpenMP multithreading for filters.''' Filters use all available processor cores for computation. This results in substantial speedups when editing drawings containing large filtered objects on multi-core systems.
* '''Substantial memory savings.''' Inkscape now uses less memory when opening complex drawings, in some cases using only 25% of the memory used by Inkscape 0.48. Larger files can now be opened.
* '''Responsiveness improvements.''' The rendering of the SVG drawing is now cached. This results in massive improvements in responsiveness of path highlights, object selection / deselection, and path editing in delayed update mode.
* '''Rendering bug fixes.''' Most of the rendering glitches in our bug tracker are no longer present in Inkscape 0.49. The following things now render correctly:
** Pattern fills (no more gaps between tiles, regardless of transformation)
** Stroke of transformed objects in patterns
** Patterns containing clipped objects
** Nested clipping paths
** Masked and clipped objects with large masks / clipping paths in Outline view
** Paths with wide strokes and long miters
** Fonts

===Color display mode===

A '''grayscale''' display color mode has been added, that shows a preview of your drawing in grayscale. '''Shift+numpad5''' toggles the color display mode between normal and grayscale.

==Tools==

=== Node tool ===
The Node tool's toolbar contains new buttons to insert new knots on the selected path segments' extreme values. Click the dropdown arrow next to the insert knots button.

=== Measurement tool ===
New.

=== Text tool ===
* Text size default unit is now points (pt) and is customizable (px,pt,pc,mm,cm,in,em)
* Text toolbar shows full list of font style variants for that font
* Files with text in em units read correctly
* Font substitution warning dialog

=== Gradients ===
* Gradient toolbar enhanced to select and modify gradient stops, invert, repeat, and link gradients
* On-canvas gradient editing fixes - double clicking to create stops, correct focus on select
* Gradients sortable by color, name and usage in Fill/Stroke
* Gradients can be renamed in Fill/Stroke

== Dialogs, etc. ==

=== Align and distribute ===
* New "Exchange position of selected objects" feature. It adds three buttons in the Align and Distribute dialog (rearrange group) that exchange the positions of the selected objects: 1. according to the selection order, 2. according to the Z-order, and 3. clockwise.
* Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+Keypad numbers) for align operations

=== Find/Select ===
* It is now easier to select items which are not at the top of the Z-order: use Alt+mouse wheel scroll to cycle through all items that are stacked on top of each other at the location of the mouse pointer (use Shift+Alt+mouse wheel scroll to add to the existing selection). At present, groups are not honoured, i.e., only individual items within groups are considered.
* New Find/Replace dialog can operate on text or any attribute
* "Select Same" by Color/Style/Type added to main and context menu

=== Fill and Stroke... ===
* Gradient list showing gradient, name, and number of uses
* More compact Markers selectors

=== Layers ===
* Drag and drop to reorder layers and create sublayers
* Show All / Hide All layers options in context menu

=== Symbols ===

Inkscape has a new Symbols dialog. The dialog displays symbols from a symbol library. Inkscape 0.49 includes two example libraries, one for logic symbols and another for AIGA/DOT transportation symbols. The dialog will also create a pseudo-library of all existing symbols in the current Inkscape drawing.
(A symbol is defined by an SVG <symbol> element.) Symbols can be dragged from the dialog onto the Inkscape canvas.

Any document with symbols can serve as a source for a symbol library. Simply copy it to the ''symbols'' directory in your configuration directory (typically ''share/inkscape''). If proper care is taken, symbols can be provided with default fill and stroke colors that later can be overridden by the user.

Visio Stencil files (.vss) can also be used by dropping them in the same "symbols" directory. Results may not be as satisfactory as using SVG symbol libraries.

See the [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SymbolsDialog Symbols Dialog] Wiki page for more details.

=== Transform ===
* Rotation of objects clockwise or counterclockwise

=== Markers ===
* Markers now take objects color

=== Trace Bitmap ===
* Trace bitmap preview updates live and is resizeable

===Live Path Effects===

An object's Live Path Effects are now forked upon object duplication.

====PowerStroke====

Here a list of the current state. Note that this is very much work in progress and '''anything can change'''. I think this is the most efficient place of keeping track how the powerstroke LPE works.
* stroke knots are purple diamonds
* when first applied, 3 stroke knots are added one at start, one at end, one somewhere in the middle along the path.
* adding nodes: Ctrl+click purple knot
* deleting nodes: Ctrl+Alt+click purple knot
* "sort points" reorders the stroke knots according to where they lie along the path (where they are closest to the path), instead of keeping them in original order.
* start and end caps can be specified. The SVG cap types are available, as well as an extra type, "Zero width", that is identical to adding a width control knot at the start/end of the path with zero width.
* join type can be specified. In addition to the SVG join types, there are two new types:
** '''Extrapolated''': this extrapolates the contour of the stroked path to obtain a more natural looking miter join.
** '''Extrapolated arc''': [http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/LINEJOIN/index.html Mathematical explanation].
** '''Spiro''': rounds the join using a spiro curve (the '''rounded''' type rounds the curve using an elliptical arc).

[http://imgh.us/powerstroke-ell.png example screenshot]

====Clone original====
The Clone original LPE ignores the path data of the path it has been applied to; instead, it '''copies the original-d path data''', i.e. the path data before LPE calculation, from the path linked to by the Linked path parameter.

The Clone original LPE is made to be used in conjunction with powerstroke. Powerstroke creates a path with a variable stroke, but this path can then not be filled (because the fill is used as the stroke). To fill a powerstroked path, one must create a second path (dummy path), apply the Clone original LPE and link it to the powerstroked path. Because this second path clones the original path data before the Powerstroke LPE, it can be used to fill the powerstroked path.
To quickly create a dummy path and apply this effect, one can select the path to 'clone' and click the menu item '''Edit > Clone > Clone original path (LPE)'''.

Like for normal clones, pressing Shift+D, when the selected path has the Clone original LPE applied, selects the path referred to by the LPE.

Another very useful ability of the Clone original LPE is to create a clone with a different style than its referred path. To facilitate this, the LPE dialog will add the Clone original LPE when a clone is selected and the "+" button is pressed.

===Filters===
The new Custom predefined filters allow users to create predefined filters with custom parameters. See [[SpecCustomPredefinedFilters]].

=== Trace Pixel Art (libdepixelize) ===
A [https://launchpad.net/libdepixelize new library] developed for Inkscape to automatically vectorize raster images specialized in Pixel Art was integrated in the form of the "Trace Pixel Art" dialog. Good and old general "Trace Bitmap" is still there. Check the [http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/kopf/pixelart/supplementary/index.html supplementary material] of the algorithm authors to see a preview of how the algorithm behaves.

==Other user interface==

=== General ===
* Canvas background color can be set without exporting it (background transparency is only used for export but not the canvas).
* Guides visibility can be toggled by clicking the ruler

=== Menu/Access ===
* New keyboard shortcut editor
* The interface elements are accessible through the keyboard with ALT+key in many more dialogs.
* "Text and Font", "Fill and Stroke", and "Check Spelling" dialogs are added to the text object context menu (right click).
* Menu items renamed - Edit->Preferences, Edit->Input Devices, File->Cleanup Document
* Checkboxes to indicated status of View->Grid/Guides/Snap/Color Management
* Group/Ungroup from the context menu

=== Dialogs ===
* Dialog status and position is remembered between sessions
* Most dialogs now dockable (including "Object properties", "Object attributes", "Text and Font", "Check spelling", "Export PNG image", "XML editor", "Find/Replace", and "Tiled clones")
* New preference to allow Windows users to choose between native and Gtk open/save dialog
* Preferences dialog cleanup
* Document Metadata dialog merged into Document Properties

===Simple calculations in spinboxes===
In most spinboxes (a spinbox is an entry field with up and down "spinbuttons" next to it) you can now write simple calculations. For example: "2 * 3", "50 + 100", or "((12 + 34) * (5 + 5) - 2) / 2".
Moreover, you can use units in entering values, like "2 + 2 cm". The result will be converted to the selected unit for the particular entry.

===Configurable Control Handles===

New preferences have been added to allow for the size of the on-canvas controls to be increased or decreased. The "Input Devices" section has been updated to control this.

==Translations==
* The ''Keyboard and mouse reference'' (inkscape-docs project) and the labels of color palettes are now translatable.
* New UI translation in Latvian.
* New tutorial translations in Galician and Greek.
* New man pages in Chinese (zh_TW) Greek (el), Japanese (ja) and Slovak (sk), and updated French translation. ''[Galician (gl) and Polish (pl) in progress]''
* Man pages now use PO files for translation (inkscape-docs project).
* The tutorial generation system now fully supports RTL languages.

==File format support==
* New Flash XML Graphics (FXG) export format.
* New Synfig Animation Studio (SIF) export format.
* New Visio (VSD) import format, based on [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libvisio libvisio].
* New internal CorelDraw (CDR) import format, based on [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libcdr libcdr].
* XAML export improvements.
* Compressed SVG and media export extension improvements. New options: set an image directory in the zip file, and add a text file that lists the fonts used in the SVG document.
* New preference to allow users to always link, embed or ask when importing bitmaps.
* New preferences that allow the checking of SVG on input and/or export for invalid or not useful elements, attributes, and properties. Options control whether such items generate warnings (when Inkscape is run from the command line) or in removing such items.
* The --export-text-to-path option now works with Plain SVG export.

===EMF/WMF===
EMF and WMF input and output filters have been completely rewritten and are now cross-platform. It is now possible to copy and paste EMF files between Windows applications running in Wine and a native Linux version of Inkscape.

===Gimp XCF===
* The "Save Background" option allows users to choose if the page background is saved with each Gimp layer.
* The exported layers now use the label attribute or, if not set, the id attribute.
* New "Resolution" option.
* New help tab.
* Some bugs and warnings fixed.

===PDF===
* "Bleed/margin" : Added an option to specify an extra margin by which the bounding box to be exported is expanded. This may be helpful to export a PDF with a small white margin around the drawing, or for exporting a bleed region a few mm outside the area of the page.

===PDF/EPS/PS + LaTeX===
* Added the possibility of scaling the image. The 'calc' package must be included in the preamble. Then the image can be scaled by defining '\svgscale' instead of '\svgwidth'.
* The font shape is now also exported. '\textit{}' for italic text, '\textbf{}' for bold text, and '\textsl{}' (slanted) for oblique text. It is important to note that '''Arial''' has an '''oblique''' font shape and not '''italic''', so the result in LaTeX will be '''slanted instead of italic'''. It is better to '''use another font''' in Inkscape when you want true italics.

==Extensions==
===Units: Breaking change===
Due to the implementation of proper document units, the functions inkex.unittouu and inkex.uutounit had to be modified and moved to the inkex.Effect class. The unit conversion calls should be replaced with inkex.Effect.unittouu and inkex.Effect.uutounit calls (usually "self.unittouu" and "self.uutounit").

===New===
* The new guillotine extension is used for exporting png slices from a drawing. The slice rectangles are defined by adding horizontal and vertical guides within the canvas boundary, the canvas boundary serves as the outside of the sliced area.
* The new [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code G-code] tools extension converts paths to G-code (using circular interpolation), makes offset paths and engraves sharp corners using cone cutters.
* New [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code QR code] generator.
* New isometric grid generator.
* New bitmap crop extension.
* New "Extract text" extension outputs the text elements of the document in a chosen order.
* New Merge text extension.
* New HSL adjust extension.
* New Replace font extension.
* New N-Up layout extension.
* New Voronoï diagram extension (creates Voronoï diagrams and Delaunay triangulations based on the selected objects' barycenter).
* New Interpolate Attribute in a group extension.
* New Typography extensions menu.

===Improvements===
* Number nodes. New parameters allowing users to choose the starting dot number and the numbering step between two nodes.
* Color Markers to Match Stroke extension improvements. The markers can now inherit the fill and stroke colors and alpha channels from the object, or be customized with color selectors in a separate tab.
* Optional sliders added on float and int extension parameters (full and minimal modes).
* Extension parameters values (''except attributes!'') can now be contextualized for translation (with msgctxt).
* New sub-menus in the Render menu, grouping the bar-codes, grids and layout extensions.

==SVG Support==

* The <tt>clip-rule</tt> property is now supported. No UI to set it exists at the moment, other than the XML editor.
* The <tt>color-interpolation-filters</tt> property is now supported meaning that non-Inkscape filters that specify "linearRGB" color interpolation will render properly. No UI is yet available to set the property. Filters created inside Inkscape will still use "sRGB" color interpolation by default.

== Snapping ==
* The snapping preferences and the snap toolbar have been reworked, both in the underlying code as well as in the GUI. This should make the snapping preferences easier to understand, easier to maintain, and make it easier to find and fix any remaining snapping bugs
* Inkscape now also snaps perpendicularly and tangentialy to paths, when creating paths in the pen tool, when dragging nodes, or when manipulating guides. Newly created guides (dragged off the ruler) will snap perpendicularly or tangentialy to any curve that is being snapped to. Two checkboxes have been added to the document properties dialog (on the snapping tab). Please note that snapping perpendicularly or tangetialy will not work in the selector tool when transforming an object or a selection of objects.
* Intersections of paths and guides can now be snapped to too
* Snapping has been implemented fully for transforming selections of multiple nodes in the node tool
* Snapping to text anchors and baselines has been implemented properly
* If one has chosen for only snapping the snap source closest to the mouse pointer, then the tab key can be used to cycle to the next closest snap source

==Notable bug fixes==
Notable bug fixes since last bug fix release ([[Release notes/0.48.4|0.48.4]]):
* Images are no longer recompressed when embedding or exporting them. [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/871563]
* Relative image paths are no longer stored as absolute (regression introduced with [[Release notes/0.47|0.47]]).
* Many rendering glitches were fixed.
* The rendering of the stroke on transformed objects now matches the SVG specification.
* Values entered in the numeric input boxes for the selector tool (X/Y/width/height) are much more accurately applied.

==Known issues==
* '''On MS Windows when the desktop colordepth is set to 16-bit, Inkscape is unusable because of exploding memory usage.''' Please set the colordepth to 32-bit.
* The Cairo library used in the new renderer does not implement downscaling, which causes large bitmaps to be pixelated on export. [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/804162] The issue can be fixed with an out-of-tree patch to Cairo. [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41745]

Tracking Dependencies

2013-11-20T10:06:25Z

JazzyNico: /* Distros */

== Overview ==

We need help getting our basic lib dependencies listed out and kept up to date. Also we need to track which versions of which distros have the needed dependencies.

To get glib and GTK+ dependencies figured out, people can go through the API documentation and look for the 'since' entries saying when calls were added. Then look for those calls in our source. Voila! we'll have base minimum dependencies figured out.

== Libs ==

C++ bindings are not included, since their required versions match those of the C counterparts.

== Getting and Installing Source packages ==

If your distro does not have some packages available (like many don't, ie, Fedora Core 2), you must often download
source packages and build and install them yourself. Actually this is not that hard, and is similar to
doing a Gentoo 'emerge.'

* Usually you download a file with a name like somepackage-1.0.tar.gz. Unpack it with

$ tar zxf somepackage-1.0.tar.gz
or
$ tar jxf somepackage-1.0.tar.bz2

* Then 'cd' into the new directory.

* Configure it with the command:

$ ./configure

* Build it with:

$ make

* As the 'root' user, install it with:

# make install

=== Boehm-GC ===

Source: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source

* Download this file:
** http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/gc6.8.tar.gz
* Unpack it
** tar zxf gc6.8.tar.gz
* Configure and build it
** cd gc6.8
** ./configure --disable-shared --enable-static
** make
* Install it
** su (or however else you become root)
** make install

Binaries: If searching for a package for GC, the name of it is sometimes:

* gc
* libgc
* gc-devel
* libgc-devel
* boehm-gc (on Gentoo)
* debian/ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libgc-dev

=== libSigc++ ===

Source: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libsigc++/2.2/libsigc++-2.2.3.tar.bz2

With this file, and for GlibMM and GtkMM below, it is usually desirable for us developers to
build this C++ library statically. This removes a dependency that might be difficult for an
end-user during installation. Configure it with:

./configure --enable-static --disable-shared

=== GlibMM ===
Try to match your Glib2 version with GlibMM's version. For example, if your Glib2 is 2.16.6, download glibmm-2.16.4.tar.bz2.

Latest source: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glibmm/

=== GtkMM ===
Usually you can try the latest version of GtkMM, but if you get version mismatch errors, try older releases.

Source: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtkmm/2.12/gtkmm-2.12.7.tar.bz2

=== cairomm ===

if you got prompted about cairomm, try first solve your cairo version, so you can grab [http://www.cairographics.org/releases/ there] a compatible version.

=== Boost ===

Many users have reported when building from source that after installing the above dependencies, the configure script still requires a "boost" package. It can be found below, but even after installing, you will need to create a symlink to allow the configure script to find it:

ln -s /usr/local/include/boost_1_xx_x/boost /usr/local/include/boost

Source: http://www.boost.org/users/download/

=== Poppler ===

Source: http://poppler.freedesktop.org/

Poppler is required for PDF import. There are several potential issues:
* Some Linux distributions do not ship the Xpdf headers required by Inkscape. In such cases, you need to recompile Poppler, passing --enable-xpdf-headers on the configure line. See [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254849 this wishlist bug]. This typically manifests in error messages like this:
<pre>In file included from extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.cpp:19:
extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.h:32:23: error: CharTypes.h: No such file or directory
...
make[2]: *** [extension/internal/pdfinput/svg-builder.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/inkscape-0.46/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/inkscape-0.46'
make: *** [all] Error 2</pre>
* Inkscape 0.47 does not compile with Poppler >= 0.12.2. If you need to compile Inkscape on such systems, use the development version from Bazaar, where this bug is fixed. See [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/487038 the bug report] for details and a minimal patch.
* Inkscape compiled with Poppler <= 0.12.1 will run on systems with Poppler >= 0.12.2, but the PDF import function will crash instantly. This problem does not concern Windows users, since the correct Poppler version is contained in the Windows installer package. This cannot be fixed on Inkscape's side: those two versions of Poppler are not ABI compatible, yet share the same soname. See [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/258504 this bug] for more details.
* Poppler's Xpdf headers are not guaranteed to be API-compatible between releases. It's likely that future Poppler versions will break PDF import in some way. PDF import works at least up to 0.12.4 but might not work with later versions.

Tracking Dependencies

2013-11-14T16:15:19Z

JazzyNico: /* Distros */

== Overview ==

We need help getting our basic lib dependencies listed out and kept up to date. Also we need to track which versions of which distros have the needed dependencies.

To get glib and GTK+ dependencies figured out, people can go through the API documentation and look for the 'since' entries saying when calls were added. Then look for those calls in our source. Voila! we'll have base minimum dependencies figured out.

== Libs ==

C++ bindings are not included, since their required versions match those of the C counterparts.

==Rendering and performance==

Inkscape 0.49 includes a new renderer based on the Cairo library. This work was done mainly during Google Summer of Code 2010 and 2011 projects.
* '''Improved performance.''' The new renderer is significantly faster on most drawings. Renderings of the most complex objects are automatically cached to improve responsiveness during editing.
* '''OpenMP multithreading for filters.''' Filters use all available processor cores for computation. This results in substantial speedups when editing drawings containing large filtered objects on multi-core systems.
* '''Substantial memory savings.''' Inkscape now uses less memory when opening complex drawings, in some cases using only 25% of the memory used by Inkscape 0.48. Larger files can now be opened.
* '''Responsiveness improvements.''' The rendering of the SVG drawing is now cached. This results in massive improvements in responsiveness of path highlights, object selection / deselection, and path editing in delayed update mode.
* '''Rendering bug fixes.''' Most of the rendering glitches in our bug tracker are no longer present in Inkscape 0.49. The following things now render correctly:
** Pattern fills (no more gaps between tiles, regardless of transformation)
** Stroke of transformed objects in patterns
** Patterns containing clipped objects
** Nested clipping paths
** Masked and clipped objects with large masks / clipping paths in Outline view
** Paths with wide strokes and long miters
** Fonts

===Color display mode===

A '''grayscale''' display color mode has been added, that shows a preview of your drawing in grayscale. '''Shift+numpad5''' toggles the color display mode between normal and grayscale.

==Tools==

=== Node tool ===
The Node tool's toolbar contains new buttons to insert new knots on the selected path segments' extreme values. Click the dropdown arrow next to the insert knots button.

=== Measurement tool ===
New.

=== Text tool ===
* Text size default unit is now points (pt) and is customizable (px,pt,pc,mm,cm,in,em)
* Text toolbar shows full list of font style variants for that font
* Files with text in em units read correctly
* Font substitution warning dialog

=== Gradients ===
* Gradient toolbar enhanced to select and modify gradient stops, invert, repeat, and link gradients
* On-canvas gradient editing fixes - double clicking to create stops, correct focus on select
* Gradients sortable by color, name and usage in Fill/Stroke
* Gradients can be renamed in Fill/Stroke

== Dialogs, etc. ==

=== Align and distribute ===
* New "Exchange position of selected objects" feature. It adds three buttons in the Align and Distribute dialog (rearrange group) that exchange the positions of the selected objects: 1. according to the selection order, 2. according to the Z-order, and 3. clockwise.
* Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+Keypad numbers) for align operations

=== Find/Select ===

* It is now easier to select items which are not at the top of the Z-order: use Alt+mouse wheel scroll to cycle through all items that are stacked on top of each other at the location of the mouse pointer (use Shift+Alt+mouse wheel scroll to add to the existing selection). At present, groups are not honoured, i.e., only individual items within groups are considered.
* New Find/Replace dialog can operate on text or any attribute
* "Select Same" by Color/Style/Type added to main and context menu

=== Layers ===
* Drag and drop to reorder layers and create sublayers
* Show All / Hide All layers options in context menu

=== Symbols ===

Inkscape has a new Symbols dialog. The dialog displays symbols from a symbol library. Inkscape 0.49 includes two example libraries, one for logic symbols and another for AIGA/DOT transportation symbols. The dialog will also create a pseudo-library of all existing symbols in the current Inkscape drawing.
(A symbol is defined by an SVG <symbol> element.) Symbols can be dragged from the dialog onto the Inkscape canvas.

Any document with symbols can serve as a source for a symbol library. Simply copy it to the ''symbols'' directory in your configuration directory (typically ''share/inkscape''). If proper care is taken, symbols can be provided with default fill and stroke colors that later can be overridden by the user.

Visio Stencil files (.vss) can also be used by dropping them in the same "symbols" directory. Results may not be as satisfactory as using SVG symbol libraries.

See the [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/SymbolsDialog Symbols Dialog] Wiki page for more details.

=== Transform ===
* Rotation of objects clockwise or counterclockwise

=== Markers ===
* Markers now take objects color

=== Trace Bitmap ===
* Trace bitmap preview updates live and is resizeable

===Live Path Effects===

An object's Live Path Effects are now forked upon object duplication.

====PowerStroke====

Here a list of the current state. Note that this is very much work in progress and '''anything can change'''. I think this is the most efficient place of keeping track how the powerstroke LPE works.
* stroke knots are purple diamonds
* when first applied, 3 stroke knots are added one at start, one at end, one somewhere in the middle along the path.
* adding nodes: Ctrl+click purple knot
* deleting nodes: Ctrl+Alt+click purple knot
* "sort points" reorders the stroke knots according to where they lie along the path (where they are closest to the path), instead of keeping them in original order.
* start and end caps can be specified. The SVG cap types are available, as well as an extra type, "Zero width", that is identical to adding a width control knot at the start/end of the path with zero width.
* join type can be specified. In addition to the SVG join types, there are two new types:
** '''Extrapolated''': this extrapolates the contour of the stroked path to obtain a more natural looking miter join.
** '''Extrapolated arc''': [http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/LINEJOIN/index.html Mathematical explanation].
** '''Spiro''': rounds the join using a spiro curve (the '''rounded''' type rounds the curve using an elliptical arc).

[http://imgh.us/powerstroke-ell.png example screenshot]

====Clone original====
The Clone original LPE ignores the path data of the path it has been applied to; instead, it '''copies the original-d path data''', i.e. the path data before LPE calculation, from the path linked to by the Linked path parameter.

The Clone original LPE is made to be used in conjunction with powerstroke. Powerstroke creates a path with a variable stroke, but this path can then not be filled (because the fill is used as the stroke). To fill a powerstroked path, one must create a second path (dummy path), apply the Clone original LPE and link it to the powerstroked path. Because this second path clones the original path data before the Powerstroke LPE, it can be used to fill the powerstroked path.
To quickly create a dummy path and apply this effect, one can select the path to 'clone' and click the menu item '''Edit > Clone > Clone original path (LPE)'''.

Like for normal clones, pressing Shift+D, when the selected path has the Clone original LPE applied, selects the path referred to by the LPE.

Another very useful ability of the Clone original LPE is to create a clone with a different style than its referred path. To facilitate this, the LPE dialog will add the Clone original LPE when a clone is selected and the "+" button is pressed.

===Filters===
The new Custom predefined filters allow users to create predefined filters with custom parameters. See [[SpecCustomPredefinedFilters]].

==Import/Export==
* New Flash XML Graphics (FXG) export format.
* New Synfig Animation Studio (SIF) export format.
* New Visio (VSD) import format, based on [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libvisio libvisio].
* New internal CorelDraw (CDR) import format, based on [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libcdr libcdr].
* XAML export improvements.
* Compressed SVG and media export extension improvements. New options: set an image directory in the zip file, and add a text file that lists the fonts used in the SVG document.
* New preference to allow users to always link, embed or ask when importing bitmaps.
* New preferences that allow the checking of SVG on input and/or export for invalid or not useful elements, attributes, and properties. Options control whether such items generate warnings (when Inkscape is run from the command line) or in removing such items.
* The --export-text-to-path option now works with Plain SVG export.

===Gimp XCF improvements===
* The "Save Background" option allows users to choose if the page background is saved with each Gimp layer.
* The exported layers now use the label attribute or, if not set, the id attribute.
* New help tab.
* Some bugs and warnings fixed.

===PDF ===
* "Bleed/margin" : Added an option to specify an extra margin by which the bounding box to be exported is expanded. This may be helpful to export a PDF with a small white margin around the drawing, or for exporting a bleed region a few mm outside the area of the page.

===PDF/EPS/PS + LaTeX===
* Added the possibility of scaling the image. The 'calc' package must be included in the preamble. Then the image can be scaled by defining '\svgscale' instead of '\svgwidth'.
* The font shape is now also exported. '\textit{}' for italic text, '\textbf{}' for bold text, and '\textsl{}' (slanted) for oblique text. It is important to note that '''Arial''' has an '''oblique''' font shape and not '''italic''', so the result in LaTeX will be '''slanted instead of italic'''. It is better to '''use another font''' in Inkscape when you want true italics.

==Extensions==
===New===
* The new guillotine extension is used for exporting png slices from a drawing. The slice rectangles are defined by adding horizontal and vertical guides within the canvas boundary, the canvas boundary serves as the outside of the sliced area.
* The new [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code G-code] tools extension converts paths to G-code (using circular interpolation), makes offset paths and engraves sharp corners using cone cutters.
* New [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code QR code] generator.
* New isometric grid generator.
* New bitmap crop extension.
* New "Extract text" extension outputs the text elements of the document in a chosen order.
* New Merge text extension.
* New HSL adjust extension.
* New Replace font extension.
* New N-Up layout extension.
* New Voronoï diagram extension (creates Voronoï diagrams and Delaunay triangulations based on the selected objects' barycenter).
* New Interpolate Attribute in a group extension.
* New Typography extensions menu.

===Improvements===
* Number nodes. New parameters allowing users to choose the starting dot number and the numbering step between two nodes.
* Color Markers to Match Stroke extension improvements. The markers can now inherit the fill and stroke colors and alpha channels from the object, or be customized with color selectors in a separate tab.
* Optional sliders added on float and int extension parameters (full and minimal modes).
* Extension parameters values (''except attributes!'') can now be contextualized for translation (with msgctxt).
* New sub-menus in the Render menu, grouping the bar-codes, grids and layout extensions.

==User interface==

=== General ===
* Canvas background color can be set without exporting it (background transparency is only used for export but not the canvas).
* Guides visibility can be toggled by clicking the ruler

=== Menu/Access ===
* New keyboard shortcut editor
* The interface elements are accessible through the keyboard with ALT+key in many more dialogs.
* "Text and Font", "Fill and Stroke", and "Check Spelling" dialogs are added to the text object context menu (right click).
* Menu items renamed - Edit->Preferences, Edit->Input Devices, File->Cleanup Document
* Checkboxes to indicated status of View->Grid/Guides/Snap/Color Management
* Group/Ungroup from the context menu

=== Dialogs ===
* Dialog status and position is remembered between sessions
* Most dialogs now dockable (including "Object properties", "Object attributes", "Text and Font", "Check spelling", "Export PNG image", "XML editor", "Find/Replace", and "Tiled clones")
* New preference to allow Windows users to choose between native and Gtk open/save dialog
* Preferences dialog cleanup
* Document Metadata dialog merged into Document Properties

===Simple calculations in spinboxes===
In most spinboxes (a spinbox is an entry field with up and down "spinbuttons" next to it) you can now write simple calculations. For example: "2 * 3", "50 + 100", or "((12 + 34) * (5 + 5) - 2) / 2".
Moreover, you can use units in entering values, like "2 + 2 cm". The result will be converted to the selected unit for the particular entry.

===Configurable Control Handles===

New preferences have been added to allow for the size of the on-canvas controls to be increased or decreased. The "Input Devices" section has been updated to control this.

==Translations==
* The ''Keyboard and mouse reference'' (inkscape-docs project) and color palettes' labels are now translatable.
* New UI translation in Latvian.
* New tutorial translations in Galician and Greek.
* New man pages in Chinese (zh_TW) Greek (el), Japanese (ja) and Slovak (sk), and updated French translation. ''[Galician (gl) and Polish (pl) in progress]''
* Man pages now use PO files for translation (inkscape-docs project).
* The tutorial generation system now fully supports RTL languages.

==SVG Support==

* The <tt>clip-rule</tt> property is now supported. No UI to set it exists at the moment, other than the XML editor.
* The <tt>color-interpolation-filters</tt> property is now supported meaning that non-Inkscape filters that specify "linearRGB" color interpolation will render properly. No UI is yet available to set the property. Filters created inside Inkscape will still use "sRGB" color interpolation by default.

== Snapping ==
* The snapping preferences and the snap toolbar have been reworked, both in the underlying code as well as in the GUI. This should make the snapping preferences easier to understand, easier to maintain, and make it easier to find and fix any remaining snapping bugs
* Inkscape now also snaps perpendicularly and tangentialy to paths, when creating paths in the pen tool, when dragging nodes, or when manipulating guides. Newly created guides (dragged off the ruler) will snap perpendicularly or tangentialy to any curve that is being snapped to. Two checkboxes have been added to the document properties dialog (on the snapping tab). Please note that snapping perpendicularly or tangetialy will not work in the selector tool when transforming an object or a selection of objects.
* Intersections of paths and guides can now be snapped to too
* Snapping has been implemented fully for transforming selections of multiple nodes in the node tool
* Snapping to text anchors and baselines has been implemented properly
* If one has chosen for only snapping the snap source closest to the mouse pointer, then the tab key can be used to cycle to the next closest snap source

==Notable bug fixes==
Notable bug fixes since last bug fix release ([[Release notes/0.48.4|0.48.4]]):
* Relative image paths are no longer stored as absolute (regression introduced with [[Release notes/0.47|0.47]]).
* Many rendering glitches were fixed.
* The rendering of the stroke on transformed objects now matches the SVG specification.
* Values entered in the numeric input boxes for the selector tool (X/Y/width/height) are much more accurately applied.

==Known issues==
* '''On MS Windows when the desktop colordepth is set to 16-bit, Inkscape is unusable because of exploding memory usage.''' Please set the colordepth to 32-bit.
* The Cairo library used in the new renderer does not implement downscaling, which causes large bitmaps to be pixelated on export. [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/804162] The issue can be fixed with an out-of-tree patch to Cairo. [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41745]

== À débattre ==
=== Dialogues attachables ===

LG >> - Préférences d'Inkscape > Fenêtres > Comportement des boîtes de dialogue... > Attachable / Flottant : Attachables / Flottantes (j'accorderais également les options suivantes des "Dialogues au-dessus de la fenêtres" : "Normaux" et "Agressifs"). Quitte à employer un néologisme comme "attachable" (que j'emploie comme vous pour l'instant, bien qu'insatisfait), nous autoriserions-nous "amarrable", correspondant à la métaphore des développeurs ? J'ai d'ailleurs traduit "floating dock" par "ponton flottant" (ce qui est la traduction littérale) et utilisé "dialogues amarrés" pour "docked dialogs".

ND >> Me plaît bien aussi. Sophie ?

SG >> Bien que je m’apprête à partir en vacances en bateau, j’ai un peu de mal
avec "ponton flottant", qui me paraît une traduction trop restrictive.
Dock est beaucoup plus large que ponton, c’est plutôt un bassin qu’un
quai, un endroit vide où on vient décharger des choses.
Peut-être voir ce qui se fait dans dans d’autres traductions GTK.
Apple n’a jamais traduit 'dock', qui est dans les dictionnaires
français, on pourrait garder ce mot.
Quand à utiliser la notion d’amarre pour éviter un néologisme, je ne
suis pas enthousiaste.

=== Thread ===

LG >> - Préférences d'Inkscape > Filtres > Affiche la boîte d'information des
>> primitives de filtre : "Afficher...", et juste en dessous, "Nombre de threads" : l'article de Wikipedia (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_%28informatique%29) propose diverses traductions possibles, parmi lesquelles, bien qu'assez embarrassé, je privilégierais "tâches", peu explicite mais une infobulle y remédie. Pour l'infobulle : "Configure le nombre de processeurs/threads..." : "Configurer le nombre de processus/tâches...".

SG >> Un informaticien me souffle que la traduction française pourrait être
"fil d’exécution", mais j’aime bien conserver les mots anglais quand il
s’agit d’un vocabulaire technique. "Tâches" est moins précis ne fait pas
la différence entre process et thread.

ND >> La chaîne originale est « Configure number of processors/threads to use with rendering of gaussian blur » et il s'agit donc bien de processeurs, et non pas de processus. On peut également simplifier le tout en « Configure le nombre de threads à utiliser pour le rendu du flou gaussien ». Car en pratique, on se moque royalement du nombre de processeurs. Avec les technologie d'hyperthreading et de cœurs multiples, on est capable de paralléliser sans avoir nécessairement plusieurs processeurs. Proposition à soumettre également pour la chaîne originale.

=== LPE ===

LG >> Par ailleurs, après avoir longuement hésité en juin/juillet 2008, alors que je n'avais aucune traduction à ma disposition, entre "Effets de chemin en direct" et "Effets de chemin en temps réel", je me suis rallié, bien entendu, à votre choix pour la mise à jour. Je reste un peu insatisfait de la perte de cette notation de vie ("live" = "en direct", mais peut-être plutôt dans ce contexte, "vivant") de ces effets dont la particularité est de s'adapter, comme des organismes vivants, aux modifications ultérieures du chemin. "Effets de chemin animés" ("animé" = "doué de vie") pourrait rendre cette notion.

SG >>Pour moi animé est trop connoté cinéma d’animation, et comme j’espère
qu’Inkscape fera un jour du svg animé, je le garderai bien pour plus tard :)
On pourrait utiliser interactif.

ND >> Favorable à « Effets de chemin interactifs ». Même si l'animation n'est pas pour demain...

=== Bitmaps ===

LG >> Par ailleurs, toujours dans l'interface, on trouve "Images matricielles"
dans le menu "Extensions", mais toujours "Faire une copie bitmap" et
"Vectoriser le bitmap" (et peut-être d'autres occurrences de ce terme).
Serait-il possible d'harmoniser la traduction ? Concernant le manuel,
alors qu'en 2008 j'avais finalement laissé "bitmap" car très courant en
français et systématique dans l'interface, je l'ai remplacé par "image
matricielle" dans la mise à jour.

ND >> Favorable à « Images matricielles » partout, mais peut-être pour la 0.49, pour laisser le temps de nous habituer à le voir dans la version dev.

=== Barres et boîtes ===

LG >> - "Barre des commandes", "Barre des contrôles..." : j'ai finalement laissé dans le manuel "Barre de commandes", "Barre de contrôles..." car dans certaines phrases "Barre des..." ou "Contrôles des..." étaient gênants, comme dans "Barre des contrôles des outils" ("Barre des contrôles d'outils" me semble
préférable); j'ai en revanche remplacé "Boîte d'outils" par "Boîte à outils"
qui "sonne" mieux (OpenOffice.org, qui est également l'une de mes références en
matière de traduction d'interface logicielle, donne "Barre d'état" et "Barres
d'outils").

LG >> - "Barre des commandes", "Barre des contrôles..." : j'ai finalement laissé dans le manuel "Barre de commandes", "Barre de contrôles..." car dans certaines phrases "Barre des..." ou "Contrôles des..." étaient gênants, comme dans "Barre des contrôles des outils" ("Barre des contrôles d'outils" me semble
préférable); j'ai en revanche remplacé "Boîte d'outils" par "Boîte à outils"
qui "sonne" mieux (OpenOffice.org, qui est également l'une de mes références en
matière de traduction d'interface logicielle, donne "Barre d'état" et "Barres
d'outils").
