We are looking forward to another dynamic year of development as we move Inkscape further from C to C , approach SVG Tiny compliance, and eventually full SVG 1.2 validation.

'''Draw Freely.'''

http://www.inkscape.org/

The Inkscape community is proud to announce release 0.40 of Inkscape, "A Cross-Platform Open Source Vector Graphics (SVG) Drawing Tool." This release includes three highly requested new capabilities: Layers, Text-on-Path, and Bitmap tracing. In addition, several minor features have made the cut along with a number of usability enhancements, three new tutorials, and hundreds of bug fixes; this is by far the most feature-packed release to date!

The implementation of layers provides another means for organization of compositions. Layers can be locked to not allow changes and their visibility may be toggled on and off. This is great for sketching over a bitmap image by using it as a template. However, one might skip this technique altogether by using the new "Bitmap Tracing" which uses Potrace to convert pixels/bitmaps into vector graphics. Normally this function is not found in illustration programs, but now it is front and center right on the canvas within Inkscape.

Since our last release four months ago, we have added several new dependencies such as the Boehm garbage collector and the stable Gtk 2.4 libraries. Hence, installing Inkscape on some platforms might raise more issues than as with previous releases, and we ask you to please post to the bugtracker (http://inkscape.org/report_bugs.php) any issues discovered. To help those who run into undocumented problems we're also providing 'Static Binary' packages that include these new libraries.

'''Draw Freely'''

http://www.inkscape.org/

The Inkscape community is proud to announce the release 0.40 of Inkscape, "A Cross-platform Open Source Vector Graphics (SVG) Drawing Tool." This release includes three majorly requested new capabilities: Layers, Text-on-Path, and Bitmap tracing. In addition, there are many minor features, a number of usability enhancements, three new tutorials, and hundreds of bug fixes. This is by far the most feature-packed release the project has had. This is all due to the strong developers that have contributed countless hours on Inkscape 0.40.

Following our last release four months ago, we have focused intensively on development, adding several new dependencies such as the Boehm garbage collector and the stable Gtk 2.4 libraries. Because of this, user's may encounter more trouble getting Inkscape installed on some platforms than in previous releases. To help those who run into this issue, we're also providing 'Static Binary' packages that include these new libraries inside the package, and thus, the static releases are very large.
