<p>XsuM7l: </p> <hr /> <div>= Inkscape 0.40 =<br /> <br /> == In brief ==<br /> <br /> This release has been slow in coming, but it was worth the wait: Inkscape 0.40 brings a huge amount of new features, usability enhancements, documentation, and bugfixes. The three most important new features are:<br /> <br /> * &lt;b&gt;Layers&lt;/b&gt; are almost complete in this version; this fills a major gap in functionality, making Inkscape usable for complex artwork. <br /> <br /> * The &lt;b&gt;Potrace&lt;/b&gt; bitmap tracer is incorporated into Inkscape - now vectorizing bitmaps is easy and interactive. A matching command, &quot;Create bitmap copy&quot;, converts from any object to bitmap.<br /> <br /> * The &lt;b&gt;text-on-path&lt;/b&gt; implementation is complete and very flexible. Both the text and the path remain fully editable and transformable. <br /> <br /> Many other improvements deserve a brief mention:<br /> <br /> * &lt;b&gt;Features&lt;/b&gt;: new document templates, improved freehand and calligraphy tools, randomized stars, POV export, some clipboard integration, experimental flowText implementation, new command-line options, better PNG and EPS export, and more.<br /> <br /> * &lt;b&gt;Usability&lt;/b&gt;: new file dialogs, current style for new objects, select under</div>
