Release highlights
Not yet released
Inkscape 0.92.4 is a stability and bugfix release.
Improvements
Align and Distribute
Allow to align multiple objects as group relatively to a single object
This makes "treat selection as group" useful with the selections "Last selected / First selected / Biggest object / Smallest object" in which case all elements will be moved as a group relative to the "focused" element which will be kept fixed.
Example aligning multiple (ungrouped) objects to first selected object:
Color sliders
Allow to constrain movement of color sliders by holding "Ctrl" key.
(step size is 16 if the max value is 255, and 10 if it's 100)
Extensions
Previously, the current selection was lost after running an extension. Now, whenever possible, Inkscape will try to keep the objects selected.
Automated Graphics Processing
Inkscape is now able to read and write pipes. You can use this to process data without using temporary files.
You can read from standard input
cat vector.svg | inkscape --file - --export-png img.png
You can write image data to standard output and directly convert to JPEG
inkscape --file vector.svg --export-png - | convert - out.jpg
Also full processing mode is possible by reading and writing to pipes
cat vector.svg | inkscape --file - --export-png - | convert - out.jpg
Regression fixes
Notable bugfixes
- Some printer drivers (reportedly Canon, EPSON, and Konica Minolta drivers) either failed to print at all or scaled documents to the wrong paper size, because Inkscape always sent jobs with custom paper sizes instead of sizes supported by the drivers. (Bug #630635 comments 3-7; bug #1289733; GitLab MRs 258 and 259)
- The measurement tool got confused by mirrored text. Now it measures distances between letters correctly, even when mirrored. (Bug #1738504)
- Fix reduced opacity of partially transparent embedded bitmap images in PDF export. (Bug #381677)
- Fix reduced opacity of partially transparent filtered objects in PDF export when "Rasterize filter effects" is active. (Bug #381677)
More bug fixes
There were even more issues fixed than those listed above, but these probably only affect a small portion of users, or are relevant for development and packaging only.
