Features

	=== Extensions ===		=== Extensions ===

	*		====Improvements in particular extensions====

			* Many new features supported for the import of proprietary '''Affinity Designer''' files, such as:
			** more complex vector masks (vector masks of vector masks, vector masks with transparency, multiple vector masks)
			** linked and embedded images, including stroke on images
			** less nested groups, more natural editing of imported objects
			** read additional shapes: Pie, Ring, Polygon (incl. curvature), Cloud, Double star, Square star, Star (rounded tips, curved sides), Crescent, Segment, Heart, Tear
			** Invert adjustment
			** Symbols
			* Various improvements to the '''DXF12 export''': Colors are now included when saving DXF12 files (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/669 extensions!669]) and DXF12 output now supports closed paths (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/673 extensions!673]).
			* When loading '''DXF''' files, Inkscape will preserve color in POLYLINE objects. (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/672 extensions!672])
			* The '''Printing Marks''' extension now supports negative bleed values. It's useful to specify negative bleed when for example importing an image into inkscape that's prepared with some bleed margin in mind, but without printing marks. You can then specify negative bleed margin so it "cuts in" into the imported image, reflecting its intended bleed margin. (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/666 extensions!666])

			* The '''typst formula''' extension was updated to work better with <code>typst>=0.12</code> (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/659 extensions!659])

			====Improvements and fixes for all extensions====

			* The <code>text-decoration</code> CSS shorthand is now correctly parsed (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/657 extensions!657])
			* Fixed a problem with argument parsing on Python 3.14 (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/668 extensions!668])

			===Extension Development===

			* Added documentation on how to set the icon of an extension in the extension gallery (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/660 extensions!660])
			* 3rd-party extension authors can now use inkex's type information more easily (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/674 extensions!674])
			* inkex now works with Numpy 2 (MR [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/661 extensions!661])
