== Changes and Bug Fixes ==

'''Definitely not released yet.'''

=== Highlights===

Inkscape 1.4.3 is a '''maintenance and bugfix release''', which brings you fixes for many critical or irritating bugs, and even a few new features.

It is also a '''bridge release''' in the sense that it can be used to '''convert the planned Inkscape 1.5 multipage file format to the pre-1.5 multipage format'''. Versions '''lower than Inkscape 1.4.3 will not be able to interpret pages created in Inkscape versions 1.5''' and upwards. Opening a document in Inkscape 1.4.3 and saving it will convert it to the current ('old') page format ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7608 MR #7608]).

''Background: While the 'old' format of pages in Inkscape is a custom addition that only works in Inkscape, the new format will make use of the <code>svg:view</code> element, which is standardized and can work in other SVG viewers, too. Find more information about this in [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7525 MR #7525].''

The most important fixes and changes in this release are:

* '''24 crash/freeze fixes''' many of which prevented users from opening certain files or exporting certain objects with Inkscape 1.4.2
* and '''almost 100 bug fixes and small improvements''', among them:
** '''JPEG/JPG export''' works again on '''Windows'''.
** The problem with '''user interface text showing up as rectangles''' ('tofu') instead of letters if certain fonts are installed '''on macOS''' is finally resolved.
** '''Ungrouping big groups''' is faster again.
** All '''pasting options''' ('on page', 'width'/'height'/'size'/…) are now '''accessible from the right-click menu''' on canvas.
** The '''Measure tool snaps again''' at its end point, so you can make accurate measurements again.
** The '''LPE dialog''' now offers to '''convert Line, Polyline or Polygon SVG objects''' to paths before applying a path effect to them
** When '''resizing the Inkscape window''', the '''buttons in the Commands bar''' (copy, paste, open, dialog shortcuts) '''show up one by one''' instead of waiting for the window to get big enough to show the second half at once.
** When '''converting strokes to paths''', '''patterns and gradients are no longer lost'''.
** '''Aligning on a circle or arc''' now works more reliably.
** '''Text on Path''' now also works with '''rectangles'''.
** '''Many improvements''' have been made to the '''PDF import'''.
** Results from '''path operations''' no longer end up at the bottom of the object stack unexpectedly and the Split Path operation has learnt to '''better handle nested shapes'''.
** The '''current layer''' by default is now the one where you have last selected an object (might need a preferences reset to apply).
** Whether the '''current page''' is changed when you select an object on it has been made '''optional'''.
** You can now '''make small changes to how Inkscape looks''' without needing to modify the full theme file.
** The bug that sometimes made it impossible to '''make gradients and patterns fully opaque''' has been '''prevented from reaching adulthood''' (it has been around since 2007!).
** and '''23 updated interface languages''' and '''12 updated documentation languages'''!

=== Crash / Freeze Fixes ===

Fixed a crash …
* … when '''exporting clones''' using 'context-fill' or 'context-strokes' to define a color to PDF ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7169 MR 7169])
* … when trying to '''convert a text-along-path''' that uses the 'path' attribute to define the path, which is new in SVG2 (and not supported by Inkscape yet - Inkscape uses 'href' to link to where the path is defined) '''to a normal text''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7191 MR #7191], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5229 Bug #5229])
* … when trying to '''export one's custom keyboard shortcuts''' into a file ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7192 MR #7192], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5746 Bug #5746])
* … when pressing <code>Ctrl + Space</code> in the '''Filter''' dialog ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7176 MR #7176], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5569 Bug #5569])
* … when editing an SVG file that contains '''text that is not in a text object''' and the preference to check attributes and properties on editing is set to true ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7138 MR #7138], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5337 Bug #5337])
* … when '''opening or closing some files with the Export dialog open''', or when opening the Export dialog with certain files open ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6989 MR #6989], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4744 Bug #4744], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/12065 Bug inbox#12065], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4786 Bug #4786])
* … when trying to '''export text objects of the type 'text in a shape' that do not actually have a shape associated with them''', and prevent those from being created in the first place ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7170 MR #7170], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5433 Bug #5433])
* … when '''trying to delete a page which contains both an object and its clone(s)''' and the option "Move Objects with Page" is selected via the toggle button on the Page Tool's toolbar ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7183 MR #7183], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5753 Bug #5753])
* … when '''trying to open a file containing an invalid pattern''' that only has a transform, but no actual pattern ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7162 MR #7162], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5677 Bug #5677])
* … when '''dragging a layer onto itself''' in the Layers and Objects dialog ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7344 MR #7344], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5814 Bug #5814])
* … when trying to '''import a document with symbols or markers''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7363 MR #7363])
* … or freeze / slowdown when trying to '''copy objects using certain clipboard managers''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7252 MR #7252], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5528 Bug #5528])
* … when trying to '''open an SVG image with linked images that can't be found in the debug build''' of Inkscape ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7270 MR #7270], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5844 Bug #5844])
* … when trying to '''align empty (text) objects or single objects on a circle''' [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7422 MR #7422], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5926 Bug #5926], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1095 Bug #1095]
* … when using the '''Pencil tool in sketch mode and ending up in the same place you started drawing''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7426 MR #7436], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5908 Bug #5908])
* … when '''double-clicking on a curve with the Bézier tool under specific circumstances''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7452 MR #7452], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7454 MR #7454], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5938 Bug #5938])
* … when '''trying to edit a Line, Polyline or Polygon''' SVG object in SVG files from other programs that have a '''Live Path Effect''' applied to them. Instead, Inkscape now offers to convert those to a path first ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7349 MR #7349], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5793 Bug #5793]).
* … when trying to '''delete any object in a file where a text-along-path was grouped together with its path''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7468 MR #7468], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5010 Bug #5010])
* … when trying to '''edit the curve of the Bend Live Path Effect''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7579 MR #7579], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/12890 Bug #12890])
* … when deleting a group that contains objects with Live Path Effects applied to them ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6697 MR #6697]).

Fixed a freeze that occurred when
* … Inkscape was trying to '''render filtered objects with invalid bounding box sizes''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7187 MR #7187], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5356 Bug #5356])
* … trying to '''copy objects that contain clones and have a Live Path Effect applied''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7214 MR #7214], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4963 Bug #4963], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5459 Bug #5459])
* … trying to '''open the Document properties dialog on Windows while more than one document is open''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7599 MR #7599], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5219 Bug #5219])
* … trying to '''adjust a font parameter in a malformed variable font''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7601 MR #7601], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5978 Bug #5978])

=== General User Interface ===

* '''Handles''' (for rotation, shearing, ...) now '''look correct''', even when the canvas is '''rotated''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7222 MR #7222], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5278 Bug #5278]) or when the '''y-axis direction has been changed''' in the preferences ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7395 MR #7395], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/12314 Bug inbox#12314]).
* The '''LPE tool''' (or geometric construction tool) is now '''by default hidden''' from the toolbar. It is an experimental tool which is mostly not functioning well ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7037 MR #7037], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5044 Bug #5044])
* When using '''drag-and-drop''' to add a non-SVG-image file to an existing file, Inkscape '''no longer opens the file in a new window''' instead of adding it to the open file, believing that a raster image must be handled according to one's SVG import preference ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6929 MR #6929], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5642 Bug #5642]).
* The '''pasting options''' from the <code>Edit</code> menu are now also available from the '''right-click menu on canvas''', via the option 'Paste …' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6914 MR #6914], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4970 Bug #4970]).
* '''Buttons''' in the various Tool Controls bars, Snap Controls bar and Commands bar '''no longer keep the focus when they have been clicked''', so work on the canvas can continue seamlessly ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7211 MR #7211], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7652 MR #7652], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5771 Bug #5771]).
* A few '''texts''' in the user interface have been '''improved''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7152 MR #7152]).
* '''Splash screens''', '''About screen''' and '''Windows installer images''' have been '''updated for 1.4.3''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7622 MR #7622], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7635 MR #7635], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7655 MR #7655]).
* '''Cursor shadows''' can '''no longer accidentally get cut off''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7298 MR #7298], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5849 Bug #5849]).
* When a document '''does not have any pages''' (on startup), Inkscape '''no longer shows the page selection widget''' in the status bar ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7519 MR #7519], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5735 Bug #5735]).
* The '''icons in the Commands bar''' now '''show up individually''' when the window is made larger, instead of appearing in two chunks ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7504 MR #7504], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5786 Bug #5786]).
* '''Interface animations''' (e.g. for opening popup dialogs) are now '''optional''' and can be deactivated in <code>Edit > Preferences > Interface : User interface</code>, making Inkscape feel snappier ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7598 MR #7598]).
* The '''on-canvas right-click menu does not use a popover dialog anymore''', because those were causing problems with Gtk3 (e.g. flickering/missing highlight, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7617 MR #7617], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5188 Bug #5188]).
* ''''Stroke to path' no longer replaces gradients/mesh gradients/patterns with 'unset' fill or stroke color''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7460 MR #7460], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5816 Bug #5816]).
* '''When pressing <code>Enter</code>''' in a popover to confirm a numerical value, the '''popover no longer closes''', so you can continue making adjustments until you press <code>Escape</code> or click somewhere else (this was most evident when trying to change text kerning, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7619 MR #7619]).
* '''Ungrouping groups with many elements inside''' is now significantly faster again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7633 MR #7633], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5988 Bug #5988]).
* The document rendering is now '''updated when the language of the document or its elements is changed''' (via the <code>xml:lang</code> or <code>lang</code> attributes in the XML editor, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7640 MR #7640]).
* The option to ''''Unlock Objects Below Cursor'''' now unlocks all objects directly under the cursor during the right-click, irrespective of the layer or the group they're in, including groups and layers ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7172 MR #7172], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5381 Bug #5381]).

=== Style ===

* '''Clones or markers''' that contain groups which are set to '''inherit their style via <code>context-fill</code> and <code>context-stroke</code> attributes''' now use the correct styles in Inkscape and also when exporting to PDF ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7169 MR #7169], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5670 Bug #5670], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3458 Bug #3458]).
* '''Gradients and patterns''' no longer obstinately resist all attempts to make them '''opaque''' when the object previously had a color with an alpha value (stroke or fill, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7508 MR #7508], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/230 Bug #230], first filed in 2007, fixed just in time before it reached adulthood!).

=== Dialogs ===

==== Align and Distribute Dialog====

* When '''aligning objects on an arc''', they now '''end up where the arc really is''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7422 MR #7422], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5919 Bug #5919]).
* When '''aligning objects on a circle/ellipse''', they are '''no longer sometimes clumped together on one side''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7422 MR #7422], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2690 Bug #2690]).

==== Fill and Stroke Dialog ====

* '''Modifying a swatch color''' with the color sliders no longer creates dozens of entries in the '''Undo history''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6993 MR #6993], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7074 MR #7074], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5486 Bug #5486]).
* The patterns ''''Abstract 1'''' (the first pattern in the 'Geometrical' set), ''''Polka dots, medium'''' and ''''Polka dots, large'''' (in the 'Halftones' set) '''can now be colored by the user''' just like most other patterns [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6618 MR #6618], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7514 MR #7514]).
* The name for the pattern ''''Red Button'''' can be '''translated''' now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6975 MR #6975]).

==== Preferences Dialog ====

* In the '''keyboard shortcut settings''', the '''categories''' for the keyboard shortcuts can now be '''translated''' by our translation team ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6989 MR #6989], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2285 Bug #2285], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5501 Bug #5501]).
* The default selection tool setting for whether to '''change the current layer along with the currently selected objects''' was set to <code>true</code>, so some confusing behavior that resulted from the current layer not being the one where you are currently working in (not being able to paste, pasting into the wrong layer, …) is removed for new installations / after a reset of your preferences. The setting is also available in the node tool ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7524 MR #7542], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5856 Bug #5856]).
* An '''option for changing the current page on selection''' has been added along with the previous MR to the selection tool's and the node tool's preferences.
* '''Sliders''' are no longer unintentionally moved when '''scrolling in the preferences''' dialog's sections ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7624 MR #7624], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5900 Bug #5900]).
* The '''settings for the Welcome dialog and the Splash screen have been decoupled''', so you can now enable each one separately ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7620/ MR #7620], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/12141 Bug #12141]).

==== Welcome Dialog ====

* '''Empty margins around the image''' at the top of the dialog that were visible when using certain themes '''have been removed''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7515 MR #7515], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5842 Bug #5842]).
* '''Labels for document templates are now center-aligned''' properly with their template icon ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7517 MR #7517], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5174 Bug #5174]).

==== XML Editor Dialog ====

* After '''editing an attribute''' in the undocked XML Editor dialog, the popup for the text field now '''closes automatically''' again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7320 MR #7320], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2445 Bug #2445])

=== Tools ===

* The setting to use <code>This tool's own style</code> '''no longer creates lots of unnecessary style attributes''' in the SVG source code ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7151 MR #7151], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5690 Bug #5690]).

==== Measure Tool ====

* The tool's '''end point now snaps to other objects again''' when snapping to those is active, so accurate measuring is possible again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7387 MR #7378], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5881 Bug #5881]).

==== Mesh Gradient Tool ====

* The option to '''show or hide the gradient node handles''' works again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7146 MR #7146], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5668 Bug #5668]).

==== Node Tool ====

* Editing nodes '''no longer becomes slow when the Object Properties dialog is open''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7389 MR #7389], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5312 Bug #5312]).

==== Page Tool ====

* When '''moving pages in their order''' in the document (using the 'Move page...' buttons / options in the right-click menu), '''pages no longer change in size sometimes''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7194 MR #7194], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5334 Bug #5334]).

==== Selector Tool ====

* The '''number fields''' in the Selector tool's tool control bar now show the correct object width, height and position when the preferences '''setting for geometrical / visual bounding box is changed''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6932 MR #6932]).
* '''Selecting objects close to or below text objects''' has become '''easier''' again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7379 MR #7379], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5846 Bug #5846]).
* The '''degree sign''' in the tool's tooltips displays correctly now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7518 MR #7518]).

==== Text Tool ====

* Directions of the buttons for '''right and left alignment for right-to-left text''' have been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7243 MR #7243], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/594 Bug #594]).
* Fonts that make use of language-specific glyphs no longer have their language predetermined and should look correct now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7631 MR #7631]).

=== Menus ===

* In the <code>File</code> menu, the <code>Revert</code> option has been '''moved to its own section''' a few entries further down to '''reduce the likelihood of accidentally reverting a file''' to its saved state instead of saving the current state and losing your work ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7260 MR #7260]).

=== Import / Export ===

==== General ====

* The '''proliferation of file paths in the Export dialog''' has been stopped, so files now end up again where you meant to put them ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7253 MR #7253], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5429 Bug #5459])
* The Export dialog '''no longer always adds information about your folder structure to any opened file''', regardless of whether you actually exported anything or not ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7287 MR #7287]).
* When using a non-default setting for the '''y-axis direction''', the '''export area is now calculated correctly''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7358 MR #7358], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5887 Bug #5887]).

==== PDF Import ====

* In the '''PDF import''' dialog, the '''default font import strategy''' has been changed from 'Draw missing fonts' to ''''Substitute missing fonts'''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6765 MR #6765], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5281 Bug #5281]).
* The user's '''selections in the PDF import dialog will now be remembered''' for the next PDF import ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7233 MR #7233], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5792 Bug #5792]).
* In the PDF import dialog, the '''options for the font import strategy now do what their label says''' (and not the opposite, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6787 MR #6787]).
* When '''importing a PDF''', Inkscape no longer imports '''lots of unnecessary (in SVG) clipping paths''' from the PDF file ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6766 MR #6766], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7289 MR #7289], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/11078 Bug #11078], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5153 Bug #5153]).
* To '''specify the PDF page''' that will be imported when using the ''''Cairo import'''' method (which can only import one page at a time), one can now use the '''preview image''' for the page in the PDF import dialog ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7365 MR 7365], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4878 Bug #4878]).
* When importing a (non-standard-compliant) PDF with text, the '''substitution fonts that Inkscape suggests are more often correct''' now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7491 MR #7491], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5300 Bug #5300]).

=== Live Path Effects ===

* '''Simplify''': The button that decides whether '''multiple subpaths of the path are supposed to be treated separately''' by the effect has been turned into a '''checkbox''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/commit/9470be6d7d56f1ed7572b2f53a6c66969a27f7e7 Commit #9470be6d], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4894 Bug #4894]).

=== Path Operations ===

* <code>Path > Break Apart</code> now places '''smaller objects on top''' of their surrounding, larger objects again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7207 MR #7207], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3905 Bug #3905]).
* The shape resulting from the first '''Boolean operation''' after creating a group somewhere in one's drawing '''no longer ends up at the bottom''' (in z-order) of the drawing, either ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7563 MR #7563], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4563 Bug #4563]).
* <code>Path > Split Path</code> now '''works better with shapes that have nested holes''' inside ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7207 MR #7207], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4556 Bug #4556]).

=== Text ===

* Text-on-path can now also be applied to rectangles, the SVG 2 specification allows for this ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7042 MR #7042]).

=== Keyboard Shortcuts ===

* When '''selecting a different set of keyboard''' shortcuts than the default set in the '''Welcome dialog''', this no longer breaks most keyboard shortcuts and also '''respects the user's choice''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/commit/6a8399ba87fa7c63db66ab80e459c7ec933da394 Commit #6a8399ba], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5648 Bug #5648])

=== Themeing ===

* It is now possible to '''override styles in your selected theme without having to modify the theme itself'''. For this, the file <code>user.css</code> (Windows + Linux) or <code>mac.css</code> (macOS) needs to be created in your Inkscape settings' <code>ui</code> folder and populated with the style changes you want ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7421 MR #7421]).

=== Extensions ===

==== General Extension Fixes ====

* '''Multi-line text entry fields''' in extension dialogs now '''expand to show more lines of text''' when you type in them (if the dialog height allows for it - you still need to resize the dialog as a whole to give the text field space to expand into, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7182 MR #7182]).
* Extensions that do not work because they need additional programs installed on the system will now '''tell you what is missing''' instead of just failing to start ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7217 MR #7217], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5341 Bug #5341]).
* '''Labels''' in extension dialogs are now '''correctly aligned''' again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7526 MR #7526], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5365 Bug #5365]).

==== Extension Development ====

* '''Effect extensions''' can now also be written in the '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT XSLT language]''', previously only output and input extensions could be written in XSLT ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7540 MR #7540]).
* The '''Windows''' binaries now contain <code>GtkSource-4.typelib</code>, in order to allow extension developers working on Windows to use the library to, for example, use syntax highlighting in their extension ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7353 MR #7353]).

=== Linux-specific Fixes ===

* '''Drag & Drop''' as well as 'Open file with Inkscape' from the file explorer now work for files in <code>/home</code> and <code>/media</code> if Inkscape is installed in '''snap format''' (but not for files saved in most other locations) ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5229], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3624 Bug #3642])
* Inkscape '''can now be started''' from the <code>Welcome dialog</code> when using '''Wayland''' as a display server. The button row can now be reached ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7224 MR #7224], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5692 Bug #5692])

=== Windows-specific Fixes ===

* '''JPEG/JPG export works again''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7173 MR #7173], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5728 Bug #5728])

=== MacOS-specific Fixes ===

* The macOS system is now aware of the fact that '''Inkscape can also open''' <code>jpg</code>, <code>jpeg</code> and <code>webp</code> files ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7593 MR #7593]).
* '''User interface texts''' should now always show up in real '''letters instead of rectangle-shaped placeholders''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7627 MR #7627], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3532 Bug #3532]).
* macOS no longer gives users '''Security scan alerts''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7627 MR #7627], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5888 Bug #5888]).
* '''Flickering was reduced''' when '''resizing''' the Inkscape window ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7627 MR #7627], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5788 Bug #5788]).
* '''Multi-monitor setups''' should work a little better for Inkscape now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7627 MR #7627]).

=== Improvements for Development / Deployment / Testing ===

* The Gitlab '''build pipelines for macOS''' have been updated ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/commit/2cf3a72590a230cbd41158c02550b98fd80d75c9 Commit #2cf3a72590], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7290 MR #7290]).
* The '''Windows dependencies''' have been updated. Inkscape now also uses graphicsmagick from msys again and ccache works properly when building on Windows ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7561 MR #7561], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7612 MR #7612], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7628 MR #7628]).
* Building Inkscape on systems shipping '''poppler''' library 25.06.0, 25.07.0, 25.09.0 and 25.10.0 has been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7261 MR #7261], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7449 MR #7449], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7497 MR #7497] [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5836 Bug #5836], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5917 Bug #5917]).
* A build failure when trying to build with a '''custom path for the poppler library''' has been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7264 MR 7264]).
* A '''warning''' that showed up while building Inkscape has been '''fixed''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6835 MR #6835], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5402 Bug #5402]).
* Building Inkscape 1.4.x '''no longer fails''' with <code>libgc</code> >= 8.3 ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7496]).
* The <code>po</code> (translation file) directory '''has been replaced with a git submodule'''. If this causes problems for building Inkscape, make sure there are no remaining files in the <code>po</code> directory and run <code>git submodule update --init --recursive</code> ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7533 MR #7533]). '''Many other infrastructure changes''' had to be made to make this possible (Weblate, separate repositories for translations, CI scheduling, ...).
* The module <code>libdepixelize</code> is now also a '''submodule''', which makes switching branches easier ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7615 MR 7615]).

== Known Issues ==

On Wayland (display server), depending upon the Gtk version your build uses, a crash may occur when moving a docked tab, or closing a floating dialog. Trying to undock a dialog may result in the wrong dialog being undocked ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/6013 Bug #6013], [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7662 Upstream Gtk issue]).

== Changes and Bug Fixes ==

'''Definitely not released yet.'''

=== Highlights===

Inkscape 1.4.3 is a '''maintenance and bugfix release''', which brings you fixes for many critical or irritating bugs, and even a few new features.

It is also a '''bridge release''' in the sense that it can be used to '''convert the planned Inkscape 1.5 multipage file format to the pre-1.5 multipage format'''. Versions '''lower than Inkscape 1.4.3 will not be able to interpret pages created in Inkscape versions 1.5''' and upwards. Opening a document in Inkscape 1.4.3 and saving it will convert it to the current ('old') page format ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7608 MR #7608]).

''Background: While the 'old' format of pages in Inkscape is a custom addition that only works in Inkscape, the new format will make use of the <code>svg:view</code> element, which is standardized and can work in other SVG viewers, too. Find more information about this in [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7525 MR #7525].''

The most important fixes and changes in this release are:

* '''24 crash/freeze fixes''' many of which prevented users from opening certain files or exporting certain objects with Inkscape 1.4.2
* and '''almost 100 bug fixes and small improvements''', among them:
** '''JPEG/JPG export''' works again on '''Windows'''.
** The problem with '''user interface text showing up as rectangles''' ('tofu') instead of letters if certain fonts are installed '''on macOS''' is finally resolved.
** '''Ungrouping big groups''' is faster again.
** All '''pasting options''' ('on page', 'width'/'height'/'size'/…) are now '''accessible from the right-click menu''' on canvas.
** The '''Measure tool snaps again''' at its end point, so you can make accurate measurements again.
** The '''LPE dialog''' now offers to '''convert Line, Polyline or Polygon SVG objects''' to paths before applying a path effect to them
** When '''resizing the Inkscape window''', the '''buttons in the Commands bar''' (copy, paste, open, dialog shortcuts) '''show up one by one''' instead of waiting for the window to get big enough to show the second half at once.
** When '''converting strokes to paths''', '''patterns and gradients are no longer lost'''.
** '''Aligning on a circle or arc''' now works more reliably.
** '''Text on Path''' now also works with '''rectangles'''.
** '''Many improvements''' have been made to the '''PDF import'''.
** Results from '''path operations''' no longer end up at the bottom of the object stack unexpectedly and the Split Path operation has learnt to '''better handle nested shapes'''.
** The '''current layer''' by default is now the one where you have last selected an object (might need a preferences reset to apply).
** Whether the '''current page''' is changed when you select an object on it has been made '''optional'''.
** You can now '''make small changes to how Inkscape looks''' without needing to modify the full theme file.
** The bug that sometimes made it impossible to '''make gradients and patterns fully opaque''' has been '''prevented from reaching adulthood''' (it has been around since 2007!).
** and '''23 updated interface languages''' and '''12 updated documentation languages'''!

=== Crash / Freeze Fixes ===

Fixed a crash …
* … when '''exporting clones''' using 'context-fill' or 'context-strokes' to define a color to PDF ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7169 MR 7169])
* … when trying to '''convert a text-along-path''' that uses the 'path' attribute to define the path, which is new in SVG2 (and not supported by Inkscape yet - Inkscape uses 'href' to link to where the path is defined) '''to a normal text''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7191 MR #7191], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5229 Bug #5229])
* … when trying to '''export one's custom keyboard shortcuts''' into a file ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7192 MR #7192], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5746 Bug #5746])
* … when pressing <code>Ctrl + Space</code> in the '''Filter''' dialog ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7176 MR #7176], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5569 Bug #5569])
* … when editing an SVG file that contains '''text that is not in a text object''' and the preference to check attributes and properties on editing is set to true ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7138 MR #7138], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5337 Bug #5337])
* … when '''opening or closing some files with the Export dialog open''', or when opening the Export dialog with certain files open ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6989 MR #6989], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4744 Bug #4744], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/12065 Bug inbox#12065], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4786 Bug #4786])
* … when trying to '''export text objects of the type 'text in a shape' that do not actually have a shape associated with them''', and prevent those from being created in the first place ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7170 MR #7170], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5433 Bug #5433])
* … when '''trying to delete a page which contains both an object and its clone(s)''' and the option "Move Objects with Page" is selected via the toggle button on the Page Tool's toolbar ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7183 MR #7183], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5753 Bug #5753])
* … when '''trying to open a file containing an invalid pattern''' that only has a transform, but no actual pattern ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7162 MR #7162], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5677 Bug #5677])
* … when '''dragging a layer onto itself''' in the Layers and Objects dialog ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7344 MR #7344], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5814 Bug #5814])
* … when trying to '''import a document with symbols or markers''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7363 MR #7363])
* … or freeze / slowdown when trying to '''copy objects using certain clipboard managers''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7252 MR #7252], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5528 Bug #5528])
* … when trying to '''open an SVG image with linked images that can't be found in the debug build''' of Inkscape ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7270 MR #7270], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5844 Bug #5844])
* … when trying to '''align empty (text) objects or single objects on a circle''' [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7422 MR #7422], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5926 Bug #5926], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1095 Bug #1095]
* … when using the '''Pencil tool in sketch mode and ending up in the same place you started drawing''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7426 MR #7436], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5908 Bug #5908])
* … when '''double-clicking on a curve with the Bézier tool under specific circumstances''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7452 MR #7452], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7454 MR #7454], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5938 Bug #5938])
* … when '''trying to edit a Line, Polyline or Polygon''' SVG object in SVG files from other programs that have a '''Live Path Effect''' applied to them. Instead, Inkscape now offers to convert those to a path first ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7349 MR #7349], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5793 Bug #5793]).
* … when trying to '''delete any object in a file where a text-along-path was grouped together with its path''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7468 MR #7468], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5010 Bug #5010])
* … when trying to '''edit the curve of the Bend Live Path Effect''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7579 MR #7579], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/12890 Bug #12890])
* … when deleting a group that contains objects with Live Path Effects applied to them ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6697 MR #6697]).

Fixed a freeze that occurred when
* … Inkscape was trying to '''render filtered objects with invalid bounding box sizes''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7187 MR #7187], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5356 Bug #5356])
* … trying to '''copy objects that contain clones and have a Live Path Effect applied''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7214 MR #7214], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4963 Bug #4963], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5459 Bug #5459])
* … trying to '''open the Document properties dialog on Windows while more than one document is open''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7599 MR #7599], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5219 Bug #5219])
* … trying to '''adjust a font parameter in a malformed variable font''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7601 MR #7601], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5978 Bug #5978])

=== General User Interface ===

* '''Handles''' (for rotation, shearing, ...) now '''look correct''', even when the canvas is '''rotated''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7222 MR #7222], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5278 Bug #5278]) or when the '''y-axis direction has been changed''' in the preferences ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7395 MR #7395], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/12314 Bug inbox#12314]).
* The '''LPE tool''' (or geometric construction tool) is now '''by default hidden''' from the toolbar. It is an experimental tool which is mostly not functioning well ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7037 MR #7037], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5044 Bug #5044])
* When using '''drag-and-drop''' to add a non-SVG-image file to an existing file, Inkscape '''no longer opens the file in a new window''' instead of adding it to the open file, believing that a raster image must be handled according to one's SVG import preference ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6929 MR #6929], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5642 Bug #5642]).
* The '''pasting options''' from the <code>Edit</code> menu are now also available from the '''right-click menu on canvas''', via the option 'Paste …' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6914 MR #6914], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4970 Bug #4970]).
* '''Buttons''' in the various Tool Controls bars, Snap Controls bar and Commands bar '''no longer keep the focus when they have been clicked''', so work on the canvas can continue seamlessly ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7211 MR #7211], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7652 MR #7652], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5771 Bug #5771]).
* A few '''texts''' in the user interface have been '''improved''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7152 MR #7152]).
* '''Splash screens''', '''About screen''' and '''Windows installer images''' have been '''updated for 1.4.3''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7622 MR #7622], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7635 MR #7635], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7655 MR #7655]).
* '''Cursor shadows''' can '''no longer accidentally get cut off''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7298 MR #7298], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5849 Bug #5849]).
* When a document '''does not have any pages''' (on startup), Inkscape '''no longer shows the page selection widget''' in the status bar ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7519 MR #7519], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5735 Bug #5735]).
* The '''icons in the Commands bar''' now '''show up individually''' when the window is made larger, instead of appearing in two chunks ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7504 MR #7504], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5786 Bug #5786]).
* '''Interface animations''' (e.g. for opening popup dialogs) are now '''optional''' and can be deactivated in <code>Edit > Preferences > Interface : User interface</code>, making Inkscape feel snappier ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7598 MR #7598]).
* The '''on-canvas right-click menu does not use a popover dialog anymore''', because those were causing problems with Gtk3 (e.g. flickering/missing highlight, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7617 MR #7617], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5188 Bug #5188]).
* ''''Stroke to path' no longer replaces gradients/mesh gradients/patterns with 'unset' fill or stroke color''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7460 MR #7460], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5816 Bug #5816]).
* '''When pressing <code>Enter</code>''' in a popover to confirm a numerical value, the '''popover no longer closes''', so you can continue making adjustments until you press <code>Escape</code> or click somewhere else (this was most evident when trying to change text kerning, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7619 MR #7619]).
* '''Ungrouping groups with many elements inside''' is now significantly faster again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7633 MR #7633], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5988 Bug #5988]).
* The document rendering is now '''updated when the language of the document or its elements is changed''' (via the <code>xml:lang</code> or <code>lang</code> attributes in the XML editor, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7640 MR #7640]).
* The option to ''''Unlock Objects Below Cursor'''' now unlocks all objects directly under the cursor during the right-click, irrespective of the layer or the group they're in, including groups and layers ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7172 MR #7172], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5381 Bug #5381]).

=== Style ===

* '''Clones or markers''' that contain groups which are set to '''inherit their style via <code>context-fill</code> and <code>context-stroke</code> attributes''' now use the correct styles in Inkscape and also when exporting to PDF ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7169 MR #7169], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5670 Bug #5670], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3458 Bug #3458]).
* '''Gradients and patterns''' no longer obstinately resist all attempts to make them '''opaque''' when the object previously had a color with an alpha value (stroke or fill, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7508 MR #7508], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/230 Bug #230], first filed in 2007, fixed just in time before it reached adulthood!).

=== Dialogs ===

==== Align and Distribute Dialog====

* When '''aligning objects on an arc''', they now '''end up where the arc really is''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7422 MR #7422], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5919 Bug #5919]).
* When '''aligning objects on a circle/ellipse''', they are '''no longer sometimes clumped together on one side''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7422 MR #7422], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2690 Bug #2690]).

==== Fill and Stroke Dialog ====

* '''Modifying a swatch color''' with the color sliders no longer creates dozens of entries in the '''Undo history''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6993 MR #6993], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7074 MR #7074], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5486 Bug #5486]).
* The patterns ''''Abstract 1'''' (the first pattern in the 'Geometrical' set), ''''Polka dots, medium'''' and ''''Polka dots, large'''' (in the 'Halftones' set) '''can now be colored by the user''' just like most other patterns [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6618 MR #6618], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7514 MR #7514]).
* The name for the pattern ''''Red Button'''' can be '''translated''' now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6975 MR #6975]).

==== Preferences Dialog ====

* In the '''keyboard shortcut settings''', the '''categories''' for the keyboard shortcuts can now be '''translated''' by our translation team ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6989 MR #6989], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2285 Bug #2285], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5501 Bug #5501]).
* The default selection tool setting for whether to '''change the current layer along with the currently selected objects''' was set to <code>true</code>, so some confusing behavior that resulted from the current layer not being the one where you are currently working in (not being able to paste, pasting into the wrong layer, …) is removed for new installations / after a reset of your preferences. The setting is also available in the node tool ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7524 MR #7542], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5856 Bug #5856]).
* An '''option for changing the current page on selection''' has been added along with the previous MR to the selection tool's and the node tool's preferences.
* '''Sliders''' are no longer unintentionally moved when '''scrolling in the preferences''' dialog's sections ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7624 MR #7624], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5900 Bug #5900]).
* The '''settings for the Welcome dialog and the Splash screen have been decoupled''', so you can now enable each one separately ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7620/ MR #7620], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/12141 Bug #12141]).

==== Welcome Dialog ====

* '''Empty margins around the image''' at the top of the dialog that were visible when using certain themes '''have been removed''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7515 MR #7515], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5842 Bug #5842]).
* '''Labels for document templates are now center-aligned''' properly with their template icon ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7517 MR #7517], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5174 Bug #5174]).

==== XML Editor Dialog ====

* After '''editing an attribute''' in the undocked XML Editor dialog, the popup for the text field now '''closes automatically''' again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7320 MR #7320], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2445 Bug #2445])

=== Tools ===

* The setting to use <code>This tool's own style</code> '''no longer creates lots of unnecessary style attributes''' in the SVG source code ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7151 MR #7151], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5690 Bug #5690]).

==== Measure Tool ====

* The tool's '''end point now snaps to other objects again''' when snapping to those is active, so accurate measuring is possible again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7387 MR #7378], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5881 Bug #5881]).

==== Mesh Gradient Tool ====

* The option to '''show or hide the gradient node handles''' works again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7146 MR #7146], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5668 Bug #5668]).

==== Node Tool ====

* Editing nodes '''no longer becomes slow when the Object Properties dialog is open''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7389 MR #7389], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5312 Bug #5312]).

==== Page Tool ====

* When '''moving pages in their order''' in the document (using the 'Move page...' buttons / options in the right-click menu), '''pages no longer change in size sometimes''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7194 MR #7194], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5334 Bug #5334]).

==== Selector Tool ====

* The '''number fields''' in the Selector tool's tool control bar now show the correct object width, height and position when the preferences '''setting for geometrical / visual bounding box is changed''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6932 MR #6932]).
* '''Selecting objects close to or below text objects''' has become '''easier''' again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7379 MR #7379], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5846 Bug #5846]).
* The '''degree sign''' in the tool's tooltips displays correctly now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7518 MR #7518]).

==== Text Tool ====

* Directions of the buttons for '''right and left alignment for right-to-left text''' have been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7243 MR #7243], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/594 Bug #594]).
* Fonts that make use of language-specific glyphs no longer have their language predetermined and should look correct now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7631 MR #7631]).

=== Menus ===

* In the <code>File</code> menu, the <code>Revert</code> option has been '''moved to its own section''' a few entries further down to '''reduce the likelihood of accidentally reverting a file''' to its saved state instead of saving the current state and losing your work ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7260 MR #7260]).

=== Import / Export ===

==== General ====

* The '''proliferation of file paths in the Export dialog''' has been stopped, so files now end up again where you meant to put them ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7253 MR #7253], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5429 Bug #5459])
* The Export dialog '''no longer always adds information about your folder structure to any opened file''', regardless of whether you actually exported anything or not ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7287 MR #7287]).
* When using a non-default setting for the '''y-axis direction''', the '''export area is now calculated correctly''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7358 MR #7358], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5887 Bug #5887]).

==== PDF Import ====

* In the '''PDF import''' dialog, the '''default font import strategy''' has been changed from 'Draw missing fonts' to ''''Substitute missing fonts'''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6765 MR #6765], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5281 Bug #5281]).
* The user's '''selections in the PDF import dialog will now be remembered''' for the next PDF import ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7233 MR #7233], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5792 Bug #5792]).
* In the PDF import dialog, the '''options for the font import strategy now do what their label says''' (and not the opposite, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6787 MR #6787]).
* When '''importing a PDF''', Inkscape no longer imports '''lots of unnecessary (in SVG) clipping paths''' from the PDF file ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6766 MR #6766], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7289 MR #7289], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/11078 Bug #11078], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5153 Bug #5153]).
* To '''specify the PDF page''' that will be imported when using the ''''Cairo import'''' method (which can only import one page at a time), one can now use the '''preview image''' for the page in the PDF import dialog ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7365 MR 7365], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4878 Bug #4878]).
* When importing a (non-standard-compliant) PDF with text, the '''substitution fonts that Inkscape suggests are more often correct''' now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7491 MR #7491], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5300 Bug #5300]).

=== Live Path Effects ===

* '''Simplify''': The button that decides whether '''multiple subpaths of the path are supposed to be treated separately''' by the effect has been turned into a '''checkbox''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/commit/9470be6d7d56f1ed7572b2f53a6c66969a27f7e7 Commit #9470be6d], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4894 Bug #4894]).

=== Path Operations ===

* <code>Path > Break Apart</code> now places '''smaller objects on top''' of their surrounding, larger objects again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7207 MR #7207], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3905 Bug #3905]).
* The shape resulting from the first '''Boolean operation''' after creating a group somewhere in one's drawing '''no longer ends up at the bottom''' (in z-order) of the drawing, either ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7563 MR #7563], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4563 Bug #4563]).
* <code>Path > Split Path</code> now '''works better with shapes that have nested holes''' inside ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7207 MR #7207], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4556 Bug #4556]).

=== Text ===

* Text-on-path can now also be applied to rectangles, the SVG 2 specification allows for this ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7042 MR #7042]).

=== Keyboard Shortcuts ===

* When '''selecting a different set of keyboard''' shortcuts than the default set in the '''Welcome dialog''', this no longer breaks most keyboard shortcuts and also '''respects the user's choice''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/commit/6a8399ba87fa7c63db66ab80e459c7ec933da394 Commit #6a8399ba], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5648 Bug #5648])

=== Themeing ===

* It is now possible to '''override styles in your selected theme without having to modify the theme itself'''. For this, the file <code>user.css</code> (Windows + Linux) or <code>mac.css</code> (macOS) needs to be created in your Inkscape settings' <code>ui</code> folder and populated with the style changes you want ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7421 MR #7421]).

=== Extensions ===

==== General Extension Fixes ====

* '''Multi-line text entry fields''' in extension dialogs now '''expand to show more lines of text''' when you type in them (if the dialog height allows for it - you still need to resize the dialog as a whole to give the text field space to expand into, [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7182 MR #7182]).
* Extensions that do not work because they need additional programs installed on the system will now '''tell you what is missing''' instead of just failing to start ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7217 MR #7217], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5341 Bug #5341]).
* '''Labels''' in extension dialogs are now '''correctly aligned''' again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7526 MR #7526], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5365 Bug #5365]).

==== Extension Development ====

* '''Effect extensions''' can now also be written in the '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT XSLT language]''', previously only output and input extensions could be written in XSLT ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7540 MR #7540]).
* The '''Windows''' binaries now contain <code>GtkSource-4.typelib</code>, in order to allow extension developers working on Windows to use the library to, for example, use syntax highlighting in their extension ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7353 MR #7353]).

=== Linux-specific Fixes ===

* '''Drag & Drop''' as well as 'Open file with Inkscape' from the file explorer now work for files in <code>/home</code> and <code>/media</code> if Inkscape is installed in '''snap format''' (but not for files saved in most other locations) ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5229], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3624 Bug #3642])
* Inkscape '''can now be started''' from the <code>Welcome dialog</code> when using '''Wayland''' as a display server. The button row can now be reached ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7224 MR #7224], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5692 Bug #5692])

=== Windows-specific Fixes ===

* '''JPEG/JPG export works again''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7173 MR #7173], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5728 Bug #5728])

=== MacOS-specific Fixes ===

* The macOS system is now aware of the fact that '''Inkscape can also open''' <code>jpg</code>, <code>jpeg</code> and <code>webp</code> files ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7593 MR #7593]).
* '''User interface texts''' should now always show up in real '''letters instead of rectangle-shaped placeholders''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7627 MR #7627], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3532 Bug #3532]).
* macOS no longer gives users '''Security scan alerts''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7627 MR #7627], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5888 Bug #5888]).
* '''Flickering was reduced''' when '''resizing''' the Inkscape window ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7627 MR #7627], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5788 Bug #5788]).
* '''Multi-monitor setups''' should work a little better for Inkscape now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7627 MR #7627]).

=== Improvements for Development / Deployment / Testing ===

* The Gitlab '''build pipelines for macOS''' have been updated ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/commit/2cf3a72590a230cbd41158c02550b98fd80d75c9 Commit #2cf3a72590], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7290 MR #7290]).
* The '''Windows dependencies''' have been updated. Inkscape now also uses graphicsmagick from msys again and ccache works properly when building on Windows ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7561 MR #7561], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7612 MR #7612], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7628 MR #7628]).
* Building Inkscape on systems shipping '''poppler''' library 25.06.0, 25.07.0, 25.09.0 and 25.10.0 has been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7261 MR #7261], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7449 MR #7449], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7497 MR #7497] [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5836 Bug #5836], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5917 Bug #5917]).
* A build failure when trying to build with a '''custom path for the poppler library''' has been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7264 MR 7264]).
* A '''warning''' that showed up while building Inkscape has been '''fixed''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/6835 MR #6835], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5402 Bug #5402]).
* Building Inkscape 1.4.x '''no longer fails''' with <code>libgc</code> >= 8.3 ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7496]).
* The <code>po</code> (translation file) directory '''has been replaced with a git submodule'''. If this causes problems for building Inkscape, make sure there are no remaining files in the <code>po</code> directory and run <code>git submodule update --init --recursive</code> ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7533 MR #7533]). '''Many other infrastructure changes''' had to be made to make this possible (Weblate, separate repositories for translations, CI scheduling, ...).
* The module <code>libdepixelize</code> is now also a '''submodule''', which makes switching branches easier ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7615 MR 7615]).

== Known Issues ==

On Wayland (display server), depending upon the Gtk version your build uses, a crash may occur when moving a docked tab, or closing a floating dialog. Trying to undock a dialog may result in the wrong dialog being undocked ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/6013 Bug #6013], [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7662 Upstream Gtk issue]).
