<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 />
* <b>Layers</b> are almost complete in this version; this fills a major gap in functionality, making Inkscape usable for complex artwork. <br />
<br />
* The <b>Potrace</b> bitmap tracer is incorporated into Inkscape - now vectorizing bitmaps is easy and interactive. A matching command, "Create bitmap copy", converts from any object to bitmap.<br />
<br />
* The <b>text-on-path</b> 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 />
* <b>Features</b>: 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 />
* <b>Usability</b>: new file dialogs, current style for new objects, select under</div>XsuM7l
