[[File:Hackfest 2020 p15.png|thumb]]

The Summer of Hackfest is an online video hackfest which happens for six Saturdays for six hours. You are invited to join Big Blue Button at any time during the hackfest, although each day will have a single meeting as [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20200711T18&p1=195 4PM UTC] the rest of the day will be chatting and an easy activity that any new contributor can come and learn.

The host [Martin Owens] will be in the video chat for the time of the distributed conference but will be joined by meeting hosts for the specific topics. If you are already in one of the teams, please do come along and chat will the whole community about the area for that day. Participants are not required to come every week, or attend for the whole time. (But it will be so much fun if you do)!

== Meetings ==

There is one meeting each of the days. The meeting is lead by a team leader and will go into the specific discussions the team wishes to have.

* '''Meet the board''' - Several people have expressed a great desire to have the whole board introduce themselves, explain what the board does, and discuss board related topics to people who are new in the project.
* '''Technical discussions''' - A time to talk about code, code quality, code maintenance, testing and other technical issues.
* '''User Experience Priorities''' - Can we work out what the top tasks are for improving Inkscape User experience and design are for Inkscape 1.1?
* '''Google summer of Code showcase''' - A live show case of google summer of code projects. See how things are going and talk about being a new Inkscape coder.
* '''Vectors 2.0''' - Meet some members of the Vectors Team and join us
* '''Bug Management''' - How are we managing our bugs and are we doing them the right way.

== Activities ==

Activities are small things that new contributors and contributors from other parts of the project can engage in over the course of the hackfest video conference.

* '''Invite people, join a team, organise!''' - Invite new people to come talk about the future of Inkscape using your social media. Then get people to join specific teams and talk about how different teams should be organised. Website teams will be used throughout the day and people will be encouraged to talk about what team's responsibilities should be.
* '''Papercuts Hunt''' - UX is not just about designing new features, plenty of Inkscape's features need small modifications to make them easier to use, or for users to understand how they are supposed to work. These small aggravations are called "papercuts". Going through Inkscape and finding them so we can make a list of all the small ways Inkscape can be polished up.
* '''Peer code review of existing merge requests''' - Lets look at some of the merge requests together, learn some interesting programming and sharpen our skills throughout the day.
* '''Participate in a live drawing challenge''' - Fun activity, no skills required :)
* '''Writing content and revamping website''' - If you have skills to share, contribute to the Vectors Hackfest Day!
* '''Test a bug and report back''' - Never tested a bug before? Let's do it together! Find old bugs, see if they're still a problem and learn how to tag issues with the right tags.

==Facilities==

The proposed venue is "The Big Blue Button" offered by Marc, details about capacity, features and so forth to follow.

Inkscape 0.92.3 is mainly a stability and bugfix release, but it also brings some small new features, like being able to set an ellipses' radii numerically in the tool controls, or switching the writing direction from left-to-right to right-to-left. Windows users will be happy to learn that the long startup times many of them were seeing could greatly be reduced. A new rendering option with an adjusted default value can vastly improve performance when working with filters.

Many of the bug fixes address important functionality, like printing issues, crashes with the node tool or problems with keyboard shortcuts.

==Improvements==

=== Command line usage ===

Three new command line options controlling page size are supported when exporting in SVG format:
* <code>--export-area-drawing</code> (feature requests in bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1597921 1597921] and bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1722844 1722844])
* <code>--export-area-page</code> while using <code>--export-id</code>
* <code>--export-margin</code>

=== Text tool ===

Support for switching between RTL and LTR writing directions has been added.

[[File:RTLtext.png]]

(On narrow screens, find it by unfolding the overhang menu for the text tool's tool controls by clicking on the triangle at the far right.)

=== Circle/ellipse/arc tool ===

New fields for setting vertical/horizontal radius (Rx/Ry) were added to the tool controls bar. 
(Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181127 1181127, Ellipse control bar should include Rx, Ry, or width and height])

[[File:EllipseRxRy.png]]

=== PDF+LaTeX export ===

Support for multi-line text with basic support for line-spacing attribute was added. (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771959 771959])

''Please note:''
* ''Currently only the line-spacing of the top level text element is considered, i.e. all lines in one text element share the same line spacing.''
* ''LaTeX is much more clever with respect to line spacing, so layout might not always be exactly the same as in Inkscape.''
* ''Make sure to use a continuously scalable font in LaTeX, otherwise [https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/410250/understanding-line-height-line-spacing-baselinskip-in-latex results might be unexpected].''

=== Performance (Preference option that can speed up rendering) ===

A new option called "Rendering tile multiplier" was added under Rendering preferences. It can increase tiles size (tiles are portions of canvas area that get rendered). Large areas to be rendered require more computational power, but computers with powerful hardware are fairly common today. Increasing the rendering tiles size increases responsiveness when redrawing canvas if there is enough computing power for larger tile computation.

Making this value larger can speed up drawing, if you have large areas with complex filters in your drawing or work a lot with high zoom levels on filtered objects. Making the value smaller can make zooming and panning in relevant areas faster on low-end hardware (if there are no large filtered areas on the visible part of the canvas).

The default value makes your screen consist of about four tiles that are rendered independently if you're not using a hidpi screen (which requires more tiles). A more detailed explanation is available [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/merge_requests/211#note_62157385 here].

[[File:RenderingTileMultiplier.png]]

=== Startup Performance ===

The first start of Inkscape on Windows is much faster now.

This is the result of improvements in fontconfig 2.13.0, a third party library which handles font related tasks for Inkscape. One of the tasks is creating an index of all fonts available on the system which is much faster now. If the new indexing causes any issues (i.e. fonts or glyphs not available that could be used before) make sure to let us know or report the issue directly to [https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/ the fontconfig project].

=== Extensions ===

Extensions on Windows can now make use of Tkinter, without requiring users to install it themselves. Tkinter provides functionality for creating interactive graphical user interfaces. This is used, for example, by the [https://github.com/textext/textext TexText] extension that renders mathematical LaTeX formulas to SVG (feature request at bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1735451 1735451]).

==Regression fixes==

* Potentially missing command line output in Inkscape 0.92.2 on Windows 7. (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714278 1714278])
* Extensions in the 'Raster' submenu relying on ImageMagick were broken and caused crashes in Inkscape 0.92.2 on Windows. (Bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1720330 1720330])
* gcodetools were creating wrong orientation points since the dpi change had been made for Inkscape 0.92 (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1680760 1680760])
* The 'Clone original' path effect that was partially broken in Inkscape 0.92.2 works again to fill a path with a PowerStroke applied to it (useful for drawing cartoons) (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1715433 1715433])
* The preferences dialog was tiny by default (Bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1360213 1360213])
* Node handles no longer get too large when selected, and they also revert back to standard size when deselected (Bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1568644 1568644])
* Export to .odg (Open Document Drawing) works again on Windows (Bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1654034 1654034])
* Inkscape no longer freezes when trying to import clipart from [http://openclipart.org/ OpenClipart] when the openclipart.org server takes too long to respond to requests (Bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1745521 1745521])
* Texts that are written in vertical direction now have their marks (e.g. accents) on the correct side again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/2abe0bb681044d972e171189395a2afdbc39bf28 gitlab commit])

* File extension was sometimes omitted when adding saved files to Windows' list of "recently used documents" resulting in unusable links ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/4d599528d1d927aee14018cda577f6e8313ae347])
* Do not crash on systems with illegal fontconfig configurations. (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716516 1716516])
* Resolve issues when attempting to save files to non-existing directories. Could happen for shortcuts.xml (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1719629 1719629]) and when setting the autosave location manually.
* Allow cancellation of bitmap export. (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1195929 1195929])
* Fix issues with PDF+LaTeX export: wrong stacking of text/graphics, missing pages in PDF output (Bugs #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771957 771957], #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1417470 1417470])
* Fix shortcuts not working as expected when a non-latin keyboard layout is the primary keyboard layout on a system. (Bugs #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1226962 1226962], #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730246 1730246], #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734308 1734308])
* Printing multiple copies of the document resulted in one copy and many blank pages (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490866 490866], #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1733424 1733424])
* Fix export area when exporting single objects to SVG using the <code>--export-id</code> command line switch (Bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1306662 1306662], #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1707368 1707368])
* Fix DXF output and Windows vector print scaling for documents with a custom view box (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1672066 1672066])
* Invalid output generated from extensions no longer makes Inkscape crash ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/608fa56e839649839c57d52e23e962c2c740c289 gitlab commit])
* The Ruler Live Path Effect now shows correct measurements in the default template (and other non-px-based templates), too (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1460858 1460858])
* The Document Properties dialog now has a more compact layout, so all items should be accessible on smaller screens (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1510831 1510831])

Making this value larger can speed up drawing, if you have large areas with complex filters in your drawing or work a lot with high zoom levels on filtered objects. Making the value smaller can make zooming and panning in relevant areas faster on low-end hardware (if there are no large filtered areas on the visible part of the canvas). The default value makes your screen consist of about four tiles that are rendered independently, if you're not using a hidpi screen (which requires more tiles). A more detailed explanation is available [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/merge_requests/211#note_62157385 here].

=== Startup Performance ===

The first start of Inkscape on Windows is much faster now.

This is the result of improvements in fontconfig 2.13.0, a third party library which handles font related tasks for Inkscape. One of the tasks is creating an index of all fonts available on the system which is much faster now. If the new indexing causes any issues (i.e. fonts or glyphs not available that could be used before) make sure to let us know or report the issue directly to [https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/ the fontconfig project].

=== Extensions ===

Extensions on Windows can now make use of Tkinter, without requiring users to install it themselves. Tkinter provides functionality for creating interactive graphical user interfaces. This is used, for example, by the [https://github.com/textext/textext TexText] extension that renders mathematical LaTeX formulas to SVG (feature request at bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1735451 1735451]).

Release notes/0.92.3

2018-03-13T21:48:14Z

Prkos: /* Circle/ellipse/arc tool */

{{Other languages | en = {{FULLPAGENAME}}}}

==Release highlights==


'''Not yet released'''

Inkscape 0.92.3 is mainly a stability and bugfix release, but it also brings some small new features, like being able to set an ellipses' radii numerically in the tool controls, or switching the writing direction from left-to-right to right-to-left. Windows users will be happy to learn that the long startup times many of them were seeing could greatly be reduced. A new rendering option with an adjusted default value can vastly improve performance when working with filters.

Many of the bug fixes address important functionality, like printing issues, crashes with the node tool or problems with keyboard shortcuts.

==Improvements==

=== Command line usage ===

Three new command line options controlling page size are supported when exporting in SVG format:
* <code>--export-area-drawing</code> (feature requests in bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1597921 1597921] and bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1722844 1722844])
* <code>--export-area-page</code> while using <code>--export-id</code>
* <code>--export-margin</code>

=== Text tool ===

Support for switching between RTL and LTR writing directions has been added.

[[File:RTLtext.png]]

(On narrow screens, find it by unfolding the overhang menu for the text tool's tool controls by clicking on the triangle at the far right.)

=== Circle/ellipse/arc tool ===

New fields for setting vertical/horizontal radius (Rx/Ry) were added to the tool controls bar. Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181127 1181127, Ellipse control bar should include Rx, Ry, or width and height]

[[File:EllipseRxRy.png]]

=== PDF+LaTeX export ===

Support for multi-line text with basic support for line-spacing attribute was added. (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771959 771959])

''Please note:''
* ''Currently only the line-spacing of the top level text element is considered, i.e. all lines in one text element share the same line spacing.''
* ''LaTeX is much more clever with respect to line spacing, so layout might not always be exactly the same as in Inkscape.''
* ''Make sure to use a continuously scalable font in LaTeX, otherwise [https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/410250/understanding-line-height-line-spacing-baselinskip-in-latex results might be unexpected].''

=== Preferences ===

A new renderer option called "Rendering tile multiplier" was added.

==Release highlights==


'''Not yet released'''

Inkscape 0.92.3 is mainly a stability and bugfix release, but it also brings some small new features, like being able to set an ellipses' radii numerically in the tool controls, or switching the writing direction from left-to-right to right-to-left. Windows users will be happy to learn that the long startup times many of them were seeing could greatly be reduced. A new rendering option with an adjusted default value can vastly improve performance when working with filters.

Many of the bug fixes address important functionality, like printing issues, crashes with the node tool or problems with keyboard shortcuts.

==Improvements==

=== Command line usage ===

Three new command line options controlling page size are supported when exporting in SVG format:
* <code>--export-area-drawing</code> (feature requests in bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1597921 1597921] and bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1722844 1722844])
* <code>--export-area-page</code> while using <code>--export-id</code>
* <code>--export-margin</code>

=== Text tool ===

Support for switching between RTL and LTR writing directions has been added (on narrow screens, find it by unfolding the overhang menu for the text tool's tool controls by clicking on the triangle at the far right).

[[File:RTLtext.png]]

=== Circle/ellipse/arc tool ===

New fields for setting vertical/horizontal radius (Rx/Ry) were added to the tool controls bar. (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181127 1181127])

=== PDF+LaTeX export ===

Support for multi-line text with basic support for line-spacing attribute was added. (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771959 771959])

''Please note:''
* ''Currently only the line-spacing of the top level text element is considered, i.e. all lines in one text element share the same line spacing.''
* ''LaTeX is much more clever with respect to line spacing, so layout might not always be exactly the same as in Inkscape.''
* ''Make sure to use a continuously scalable font in LaTeX, otherwise [https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/410250/understanding-line-height-line-spacing-baselinskip-in-latex results might be unexpected].''

=== Preferences ===

A new renderer option called "Rendering tile multiplier" was added. Making this value larger can speed up drawing, if you have large areas with complex filters in your drawing or work a lot with high zoom levels on filtered objects. Making the value smaller can make zooming and panning in relevant areas faster on low-end hardware (if there are no large filtered areas on the visible part of the canvas). The default value makes your screen consist of about four tiles that are rendered independently, if you're not using a hidpi screen (which requires more tiles). A more detailed explanation is available [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/merge_requests/211#note_62157385 here].

=== Startup Performance ===

The first start of Inkscape on Windows is much faster now.

This is the result of improvements in fontconfig 2.13.0, a third party library which handles font related tasks for Inkscape. One of the tasks is creating an index of all fonts available on the system which is much faster now. If the new indexing causes any issues (i.e. fonts or glyphs not available that could be used before) make sure to let us know or report the issue directly to [https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/ the fontconfig project].

=== Extensions ===

Extensions on Windows can now make use of Tkinter, without requiring users to install it themselves. Tkinter provides functionality for creating interactive graphical user interfaces. This is used, for example, by the [https://github.com/textext/textext TexText] extension that renders mathematical LaTeX formulas to SVG (feature request at bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1735451 1735451]).

==Regression fixes==

* Potentially missing command line output in Inkscape 0.92.2 on Windows 7. (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714278 1714278])
* Extensions in the 'Raster' submenu relying on ImageMagick were broken and caused crashes in Inkscape 0.92.2 on Windows. (Bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1720330 1720330])
* gcodetools were creating wrong orientation points since the dpi change had been made for Inkscape 0.92 (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1680760 1680760])
* The 'Clone original' path effect that was partially broken in Inkscape 0.92.2 works again to fill a path with a PowerStroke applied to it (useful for drawing cartoons) (Bug #[https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1715433 1715433])
* The preferences dialog was tiny by default (Bug #[https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1360213 1360213])
