About this release

Definitely not released yet.

Inkscape 1.0.2 is mainly a stability and bugfix release.

New Features

  • Zooming by middle mouse button click (pressing scroll wheel) can now be deactivated in Edit > Preferences > Behavior > Steps: Zoom with middle mouse click (Commit 186736)

Bug fixes

General

  • A series of related bugs with text objects was fixed (MR #2434).
    All of the affected actions required a text object to behave like a path, but it behaved like a group, and the action failed. This series of bugs mostly affected new users who were following tutorials which did not work as expected.
    Specifically, the following actions now work again:
    • A text object unioned with itself results in a single path again.
    • Text objects can again be used with other objects in all Boolean operations.
    • Text objects can again be inset and outset.
    • Text objects can again be used to create a Dynamic Offset or a Linked Offset.
  • Converting an object's stroke to a path no longer makes its clones vanish (Bug #1120)
  • Improved rendering performance when zooming through multiple zoom levels (Commit 28e21e)
  • CSS classes that start with a letter that isn't part of the ASCII set are no longer ignored (Bug #1094)

macOS

  • Packaging has been updated for macOS, which improves a performance regression in Inkscape 1.0.1, so Inkscape 1.0.2 is about as fast (or slow) as Inkscape 1.0. [needs confirmation]

Circle Tool

  • Arcs from Inkscape files created with versions older than 1.0 are no longer rendered as slices (Bug #1900)
  • When dragging on an ellipse's handles inside the ellipse to create an arc, Inkscape no longer renders it as a closed slice (Commit def938)

Objects dialog

  • The search function in the 'Objects' dialog shows results again (Bug #1736)

Mesh Gradient tool

  • Objects with a mesh gradient now keep their fill when copied to a different document (Bug #579)

Text tool

  • The font preview sample now contains the correct currency symbols €¢ (instead of \342\202\254\302\242). One needs to reset the preferences to see the updated font sample text (MR #2547).

Crash fixes

Fix a crash …

  • … when drawing with the Calligraphy tool inside a group with the 'Rotate copies' live path effect (and possibly when adding items to groups with a different path effect applied to them) (Commit b62cd9, MR #2386)
  • … when duplicating a text that had lost the frame it was flowed in (Bug #1919)
  • … when ...

Extension bug fixes

Specific extensions

  • A few label texts were improved in the new "Scribus PDF Export" extension (MR #226)
  • The preview works again for the "Interpolate" extension (Bug #303)
