&lt;br /&gt;
===Keyboard Shortcuts ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Extensions===&lt;br /&gt;
====New extensions ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Initial support for import of '''Vectornator / Linearity Curve''' files. The import extensions is under active development. Please report all issues you encounter to [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extras/extension-curve the repository of the subproject].&lt;br /&gt;
*An extension to '''Clean up paths''' was added. The extension removes duplicate nodes and nodes closer than a given threshold. There is also an option to close paths and join subpaths if the nodes are separated by less than given thresholds. The extension can be found in '''Modify Path -&amp;gt; Clean up path'''. Try it out! (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/499 extensions!499])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Improvements in particular extensions ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Many new features supported for the import of proprietary '''Affinity Designer''' files, such as: &lt;br /&gt;
**more complex vector masks (vector masks of vector masks, vector masks with transparency, multiple vector masks)&lt;br /&gt;
** linked and embedded images, including stroke on images&lt;br /&gt;
** less nested groups, more natural editing of imported objects&lt;br /&gt;
**read additional shapes: Pie, Ring, Polygon (incl. curvature), Cloud, Double star, Square star,  Star (rounded tips, curved sides), Crescent, Segment, Heart, Tear&lt;br /&gt;
**Invert adjustment&lt;br /&gt;
**Symbols&lt;br /&gt;
* Various improvements to the '''DXF12 export''': Colors are now included when saving DXF12 files (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/669 extensions!669]) and DXF12 output now supports closed paths (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/673 extensions!673]).&lt;br /&gt;
*When loading '''DXF''' files, Inkscape will preserve color in POLYLINE objects. (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/672 extensions!672])&lt;br /&gt;
*The '''Printing Marks''' extension now supports negative bleed values. It's useful to specify negative bleed when for example importing an image into inkscape that's prepared with some bleed margin in mind, but without printing marks. You can then specify negative bleed margin so it &amp;quot;cuts in&amp;quot; into the imported image, reflecting its intended bleed margin. (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/666 extensions!666])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The '''typst formula''' extension was updated to work better with &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;typst&amp;gt;=0.12&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/659 extensions!659])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Improvements and fixes for all extensions ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;text-decoration&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; CSS shorthand is now correctly parsed (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/657 extensions!657])&lt;br /&gt;
*Fixed a problem with argument parsing on Python 3.14 (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/668 extensions!668])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Extension Development====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Added documentation on how to set the icon of an extension in the extension gallery (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/660 extensions!660])&lt;br /&gt;
*3rd-party extension authors can now use inkex's type information more easily (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/674 extensions!674])&lt;br /&gt;
*inkex now works with Numpy 2 (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/661 extensions!661])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Command Line=== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Shell --export-page=all now correctly exports all pages ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4850 Bug #4850], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6833 MR #6833])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*Drag and Drop in the Layers dialog no longer stops working after the first time [KDE Wayland] ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5182 Bug #5182], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7030 MR #7030])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Windows-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Scrolling through fonts with certain fonts installed no longer crashes Inkscape ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4224 Bug inkscape#4224], [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/merge_requests/794 Pango MR #794]).&lt;br /&gt;
* The Windows MSI Installer has been upgraded to WiX v4, fixing several issues ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1617 Bug #1617], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1618 Bug #1618], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4679, Bug #4679], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6582 MR #6582], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6576 MR #6576]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===MacOS-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Inkscape doesn't crash when preferences is invoked after closing window ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5484 Bug #5484],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6943 MR #6943]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Improvements for development / deployment / testing===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Failing '''snap package''' builds have been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6819 MR #6819])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Release highlights ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Definitely not released yet.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes and Bug Fixes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inkscape 1.4.2 is a '''maintenance and bugfix release''', which brings you fixes for many critical or irritating bugs, and even two new features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most important fixes and changes in this release are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* a new splash screen, providing a visual cue while Inkscape loads in the background&lt;br /&gt;
* improved Affinity Designer files (.afdesign) import&lt;br /&gt;
* more than '''X crash/freeze fixes''', many of which affected PDF import&lt;br /&gt;
* improvements to boolean operations&lt;br /&gt;
* and almost '''Y more bug fixes'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Import / Export ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Inkscape '''no longer crashes''' when '''importing a PDF file''' with '''Type-3/Bitmap Colored fonts''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5235 Bug #5235], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6811 MR #6811]).&lt;br /&gt;
* PDF import handles consecutive clippings properly ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4135 Bug #4135],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6912 MR #6912]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Keyboard Shortcuts ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortcuts for aligning no longer require numpad ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6970 MR #6970])&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortcuts that contain braces ''{'' can now be reassigned ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5333 Bug #5333], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7031 MR #7031])&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortcuts for transforms respect selected anchor ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5456 Bug #5456], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6898 MR #6898])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Extensions ===&lt;br /&gt;
====New extensions====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Initial support for import of '''Vectornator / Linearity Curve''' files. The import extensions is under active development. Please report all issues you encounter to [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extras/extension-curve the repository of the subproject].&lt;br /&gt;
* An extension to '''Clean up paths''' was added. The extension removes duplicate nodes and nodes closer than a given threshold. There is also an option to close paths and join subpaths if the nodes are separated by less than given thresholds. The extension can be found in '''Modify Path -&amp;gt; Clean up path'''. Try it out! (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/499 extensions!499])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Improvements in particular extensions====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Many new features supported for the import of proprietary '''Affinity Designer''' files, such as:&lt;br /&gt;
** more complex vector masks (vector masks of vector masks, vector masks with transparency, multiple vector masks)&lt;br /&gt;
** linked and embedded images, including stroke on images&lt;br /&gt;
** less nested groups, more natural editing of imported objects&lt;br /&gt;
** read additional shapes: Pie, Ring, Polygon (incl. curvature), Cloud, Double star, Square star,  Star (rounded tips, curved sides), Crescent, Segment, Heart, Tear&lt;br /&gt;
** Invert adjustment&lt;br /&gt;
** Symbols&lt;br /&gt;
* Various improvements to the '''DXF12 export''': Colors are now included when saving DXF12 files (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/669 extensions!669]) and DXF12 output now supports closed paths (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/673 extensions!673]).&lt;br /&gt;
* When loading '''DXF''' files, Inkscape will preserve color in POLYLINE objects. (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/672 extensions!672])&lt;br /&gt;
* The '''Printing Marks''' extension now supports negative bleed values. It's useful to specify negative bleed when for example importing an image into inkscape that's prepared with some bleed margin in mind, but without printing marks. You can then specify negative bleed margin so it &amp;quot;cuts in&amp;quot; into the imported image, reflecting its intended bleed margin. (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/666 extensions!666])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The '''typst formula''' extension was updated to work better with &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;typst&amp;gt;=0.12&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/659 extensions!659])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Improvements and fixes for all extensions====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;text-decoration&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; CSS shorthand is now correctly parsed (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/657 extensions!657]) &lt;br /&gt;
* Fixed a problem with argument parsing on Python 3.14 (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/668 extensions!668]) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Extension Development====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Added documentation on how to set the icon of an extension in the extension gallery (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/660 extensions!660])&lt;br /&gt;
* 3rd-party extension authors can now use inkex's type information more easily (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/674 extensions!674])&lt;br /&gt;
* inkex now works with Numpy 2 (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/661 extensions!661])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Command Line===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shell --export-page=all now correctly exports all pages ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4850 Bug #4850], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6833 MR #6833])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Linux-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Printing from Snap Package no longer crashes ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1734 Bug #1734],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6947 MR #6947]).&lt;br /&gt;
* Export dialog behaves properly (Snap version) ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3648 Bug #3648], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4015 Bug #4015], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6893 MR #6893]).&lt;br /&gt;
* Drag and Drop in the Layers dialog no longer stops working after the first time [KDE Wayland] ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5182 Bug #5182], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7030 MR #7030])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Windows-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Scrolling through fonts with certain fonts installed no longer crashes Inkscape ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4224 Bug inkscape#4224], [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/merge_requests/794 Pango MR #794]).&lt;br /&gt;
* The Windows MSI Installer has been upgraded to WiX v4, fixing several issues ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1617 Bug #1617], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1618 Bug #1618], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4679, Bug #4679], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6582 MR #6582], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6576 MR #6576]).&lt;br /&gt;

* Selecting large image files using the filepicker no longer crashes inkscape ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/11741 Bug #11741], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6988 MR #6988])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== MacOS-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Inkscape doesn't crash when preferences is invoked after closing window ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5484 Bug #5484],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6943 MR #6943]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Improvements for development / deployment / testing===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Failing '''snap package''' builds have been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6819 MR #6819])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Tagged without an official release due to blocking bugs. Superseded by [[Release_notes/1.4.2 | Inkscape 1.4.2]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes and Bug Fixes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inkscape 1.4.1 is a '''maintenance and bugfix release''', which brings you fixes for many critical or irritating bugs, and even two new features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most important fixes and changes in this release are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* a new splash screen, providing a visual cue while Inkscape loads in the background&lt;br /&gt;
* improved Affinity Designer files (.afdesign) import&lt;br /&gt;
* more than '''X crash/freeze fixes''', many of which affected PDF import&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Import / Export ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Inkscape '''no longer crashes''' when '''importing a PDF file''' with '''Type-3/Bitmap Colored fonts''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5235 Bug #5235], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6811 MR #6811]).&lt;br /&gt;
* PDF import handles consecutive clippings properly ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4135 Bug #4135],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6912 MR #6912]).&lt;br /&gt;

* Inkscape now automatically appends the correct extension upon changing file type ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5246 Bug #5246],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6768 MR #6768])&lt;br /&gt;
* Links are no longer misplaced when exporting to PDF ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5299 Bug #5299], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6779 MR #6779]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Path Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Intersection on circles produces better result ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3543 Bug #3543],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6152 MR #6152]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Live Path Effects ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Boolean LPE: Difference mode can now handle holes properly ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3265 Bug #3265],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6152 MR #6152])&lt;br /&gt;
* Mirror paths LPE can now handle Multipage documents ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5321 Bug #5321],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3648 Bug #3648],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6817 MR #6817])&lt;br /&gt;
* Missing parameters in Perspective LPE have been restored ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5297 Bug #5297], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6759 MR #6759])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Extensions ===&lt;br /&gt;
====New extensions====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Initial support for import of '''Vectornator / Linearity Curve''' files. The import extensions is under active development. Please report all issues you encounter to [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extras/extension-curve the repository of the subproject].&lt;br /&gt;
* An extension to '''Clean up paths''' was added. The extension removes duplicate nodes and nodes closer than a given threshold. There is also an option to close paths and join subpaths if the nodes are separated by less than given thresholds. The extension can be found in '''Modify Path -&amp;gt; Clean up path'''. Try it out! (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/499 extensions!499])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Improvements in particular extensions====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Many new features supported for the import of proprietary '''Affinity Designer''' files, such as:&lt;br /&gt;
** more complex vector masks (vector masks of vector masks, vector masks with transparency, multiple vector masks)&lt;br /&gt;
** linked and embedded images, including stroke on images&lt;br /&gt;
** less nested groups, more natural editing of imported objects&lt;br /&gt;
** read additional shapes: Pie, Ring, Polygon (incl. curvature), Cloud, Double star, Square star,  Star (rounded tips, curved sides), Crescent, Segment, Heart, Tear&lt;br /&gt;
** Invert adjustment&lt;br /&gt;
** Symbols&lt;br /&gt;
* Various improvements to the '''DXF12 export''': Colors are now included when saving DXF12 files (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/669 extensions!669]) and DXF12 output now supports closed paths (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/673 extensions!673]).&lt;br /&gt;
* When loading '''DXF''' files, Inkscape will preserve color in POLYLINE objects. (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/672 extensions!672])&lt;br /&gt;
* The '''Printing Marks''' extension now supports negative bleed values. It's useful to specify negative bleed when for example importing an image into inkscape that's prepared with some bleed margin in mind, but without printing marks. You can then specify negative bleed margin so it &amp;quot;cuts in&amp;quot; into the imported image, reflecting its intended bleed margin. (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/666 extensions!666])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The '''typst formula''' extension was updated to work better with &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;typst&amp;gt;=0.12&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/659 extensions!659])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Improvements and fixes for all extensions====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;text-decoration&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; CSS shorthand is now correctly parsed (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/657 extensions!657]) &lt;br /&gt;
* Fixed a problem with argument parsing on Python 3.14 (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/668 extensions!668]) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Extension Development====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Added documentation on how to set the icon of an extension in the extension gallery (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/660 extensions!660])&lt;br /&gt;
* 3rd-party extension authors can now use inkex's type information more easily (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/674 extensions!674])&lt;br /&gt;
* inkex now works with Numpy 2 (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/661 extensions!661])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Command Line===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shell --export-page=all now correctly exports all pages ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4850 Bug #4850], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6833 MR #6833])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Linux-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Printing from Snap Package no longer crashes ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1734 Bug #1734],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6947 MR #6947]).&lt;br /&gt;
*Export dialog behaves properly (Snap version) ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3648 Bug #3648], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4015 Bug #4015], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6893 MR #6893]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Windows-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Scrolling through fonts with certain fonts installed no longer crashes Inkscape ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4224 Bug inkscape#4224], [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/merge_requests/794 Pango MR #794]).&lt;br /&gt;
*The Windows MSI Installer has been upgraded to WiX v4, fixing several issues ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1617 Bug #1617], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1618 Bug #1618], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4679, Bug #4679], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6582 MR #6582], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6576 MR #6576]).&lt;br /&gt;
*Page size can now be edited without freezes ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5391 Bug #5391],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6824 MR #6824]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===macOS-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Inkscape doesn't crash when preferences is invoked after closing window ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5484 Bug #5484],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6943 MR #6943]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Improvements for development / deployment / testing===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Failing '''snap package''' builds have been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6819 MR #6819])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Translations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several parts of the UI are now translatable now have better context ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6941 MR #6941], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6950 MR #6950]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Extensions ===&lt;br /&gt;
====New extensions====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Initial support for import of '''Vectornator / Linearity Curve''' files. The import extensions is under active development. Please report all issues you encounter to [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extras/extension-curve the repository of the subproject].&lt;br /&gt;
* An extension to '''Clean up paths''' was added. The extension removes duplicate nodes and nodes closer than a given threshold. There is also an option to close paths and join subpaths if the nodes are separated by less than given thresholds. The extension can be found in '''Modify Path -&amp;gt; Clean up path'''. Try it out! (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/499 extensions!499])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Improvements in particular extensions====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Many new features supported for the import of proprietary '''Affinity Designer''' files, such as:&lt;br /&gt;
** more complex vector masks (vector masks of vector masks, vector masks with transparency, multiple vector masks)&lt;br /&gt;
** linked and embedded images, including stroke on images&lt;br /&gt;
** less nested groups, more natural editing of imported objects&lt;br /&gt;
** read additional shapes: Pie, Ring, Polygon (incl. curvature), Cloud, Double star, Square star,  Star (rounded tips, curved sides), Crescent, Segment, Heart, Tear&lt;br /&gt;
** Invert adjustment&lt;br /&gt;
** Symbols&lt;br /&gt;
* Various improvements to the '''DXF12 export''': Colors are now included when saving DXF12 files (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/669 extensions!669]) and DXF12 output now supports closed paths (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/673 extensions!673]).&lt;br /&gt;
* When loading '''DXF''' files, Inkscape will preserve color in POLYLINE objects. (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/672 extensions!672])&lt;br /&gt;
* The '''Printing Marks''' extension now supports negative bleed values. It's useful to specify negative bleed when for example importing an image into inkscape that's prepared with some bleed margin in mind, but without printing marks. You can then specify negative bleed margin so it &amp;quot;cuts in&amp;quot; into the imported image, reflecting its intended bleed margin. (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/666 extensions!666])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The '''typst formula''' extension was updated to work better with &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;typst&amp;gt;=0.12&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/659 extensions!659])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Improvements and fixes for all extensions====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;text-decoration&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; CSS shorthand is now correctly parsed (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/657 extensions!657]) &lt;br /&gt;
* Fixed a problem with argument parsing on Python 3.14 (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/668 extensions!668]) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Extension Development====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Added documentation on how to set the icon of an extension in the extension gallery (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/660 extensions!660])&lt;br /&gt;
* 3rd-party extension authors can now use inkex's type information more easily (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/674 extensions!674])&lt;br /&gt;
* inkex now works with Numpy 2 (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/661 extensions!661])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Command Line===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Shell --export-page=all now correctly exports all pages ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4850 Bug #4850], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6833 MR #6833])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Linux-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Printing from Snap Package no longer crashes ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1734 Bug #1734],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6947 MR #6947]).&lt;br /&gt;
*Export dialog behaves properly (Snap version) ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3648 Bug #3648], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4015 Bug #4015], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6893 MR #6893]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Windows-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Scrolling through fonts with certain fonts installed no longer crashes Inkscape ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4224 Bug inkscape#4224], [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/merge_requests/794 Pango MR #794]).&lt;br /&gt;
*The Windows MSI Installer has been upgraded to WiX v4, fixing several issues ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1617 Bug #1617], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1618 Bug #1618], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4679, Bug #4679], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6582 MR #6582], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6576 MR #6576]).&lt;br /&gt;
*Page size can now be edited without freezes ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5391 Bug #5391],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6824 MR #6824]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===macOS-specific Fixes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Inkscape doesn't crash when preferences is invoked after closing window ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5484 Bug #5484],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6943 MR #6943]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Improvements for development / deployment / testing===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Failing '''snap package''' builds have been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6819 MR #6819])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Translations ==&lt;br /&gt;

== Release highlights ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Definitely not released yet.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes and Bug Fixes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inkscape 1.4.1 is a '''maintenance and bugfix release''', which brings you fixes for many critical or irritating bugs, and even two new features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most important fixes and changes in this release are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* a new splash screen, providing a visual cue while Inkscape loads in the background&lt;br /&gt;
* greatly improved Affinity Designer files (.afdesign) import&lt;br /&gt;
* more than '''X crash/freeze fixes''', many of which affected PDF import&lt;br /&gt;
* improvements to boolean operations&lt;br /&gt;
* and almost '''Y more bug fixes'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Definitely not released yet.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes and Bug Fixes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inkscape 1.4.1 is a '''maintenance and bugfix release''', which brings you fixes for many critical or irritating bugs, and even two new features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most important fixes and changes in this release are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* a new splash screen, providing a visual cue while Inkscape loads in the background&lt;br /&gt;
* greatly improved Affinity Designer files (.afdesign) import&lt;br /&gt;
* more than '''X crash/freeze fixes''', many of which affected PDF import&lt;br /&gt;
* improvements to boolean operations&lt;br /&gt;
* and almost '''Y more bug fixes'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== General User Interface ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some toolbars now have more collapsible groups, allowing Inkscape to fit on 720p screens ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4987 Bug #4987], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6910 MR #6910], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6707, MR #6707]).&lt;br /&gt;
* A new splash screen has been added, letting users know that Inkscape is loading. This can be turned off in ''Preference &amp;gt; Interface &amp;gt; Windows &amp;gt; Miscellaneous''&lt;br /&gt;
* Closing the welcome dialog does not create a new Window ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/6746 Bug #6746],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6584, MR #6584]).&lt;br /&gt;
* Status bar hint for guides has been updated to show effect of double clicking on guide ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6772 MR #6772]).&lt;br /&gt;
* Moving with arrow keys works as expected for non integer values of nudge ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5308 Bug #5308],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6830 MR #6830]).&lt;br /&gt;

== Release highlights ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Definitely not released yet.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes and Bug Fixes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inkscape 1.4.1 is a '''maintenance and bugfix release''', which brings you fixes for many critical or irritating bugs, and even two new features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most important fixes and changes in this release are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* a new splash screen, providing a visual cue while Inkscape loads in the background&lt;br /&gt;
* greatly improved Affinity Designer files (.afdesign) import&lt;br /&gt;
* more than '''X crash/freeze fixes''', many of which affected PDF import&lt;br /&gt;
* improvements to boolean operations&lt;br /&gt;
* and almost '''Y more bug fixes'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* A new splash screen has been added, letting users know that Inkscape is loading. This can be turned off in ''Preference &amp;gt; Interface &amp;gt; Windows &amp;gt; Miscellaneous''&lt;br /&gt;
* Closing the welcome dialog does not create a new Window ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/6746 Bug #6746],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6584, MR #6584]).&lt;br /&gt;
* Status bar hint for guides has been updated to show effect of double clicking on guide ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6772 MR #6772]).&lt;br /&gt;
* Moving with arrow keys works as expected for non integer values of nudge ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5308 Bug #5308],[https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6830 MR #6830]).&lt;br /&gt;
