Release highlights

Released on 2017-08-07

Inkscape 0.92.2 is a stability and bugfix release. For a complete list of bugs fixed in 0.92.2, see the Launchpad milestone page.

Improvements

Add a control point to the centers of rectangles, circles/ellipses and stars to make it easier to move them and to align them in a precise way. (Video)
DPI Change: Command line option --convert-dpi-method=[none|scale-viewbox|scale-document] to batch-process legacy files (Bug #1659489)
Improve selection chemistry z-stack ordering (Bug #1395452)
Rework the object panel, including making shortcut handling respect user-defined shortcuts.
Add ability to generate one path from multiple paths with LPEs in them (Bug #1664632)
Automatically fix baseline spacing of <flowDiv> flowed text elements when importing legacy documents. (Bug #1661771)

Regression fixes

GUI: Fix file preview on Windows when using the native file open dialog (Bug #802904)
Printing: Fix crash when printing on Windows (Bug #1665768)
Text: Fix tiny font size for sub/superscripts (Bug #1658029)
Text: The default style of the text tool can now be changed when nothing is selected.

Important bugfixes

GUI: Window position/size was often wrong on startup and when opening new documents (Bugs #1190828, #1654464, #195683, #568867)
Symbols: Fix loading of Visio Stencils from .vss files with special characters in file name (Bug #1662465)
SVG import/export: Special characters in the document's "title" field could result in invalid SVG output and prevent re-opening the file on Windows (Bugs #576126, #1627551)
EMF/WMF import/export: Fix many issues that occurred when the system's locale was set to a language using comma (,) as decimal separator. Notably text was often positioned wrongly after import (Bugs #1089857, #1335660, #1599763, #1675755) and the export option "Convert gradients to colored polygons series" made Inkscape crash (Bug #1549015)
LaTeX+PDF export: Fix export for text inside a masked or clipped group. (Bug #1417470)
Extensions: The attribute xml:space="preserve" for INX Parameters of type description was ignored but they were untranslatable without it (Bug #1668115). The attribute is now respected and translations work properly in all cases, however please note that this might change formatting in cases that were broken before, i.e. whenever omitting the attribute. To maintain visual appearance please add the attribute.
Import: Fix many issues with importing large files. Many files that could not be opened before (especially those containing large raster graphics) should import fine now. (Bugs #1572280, #1412912, #1373322, #1243011, #1627004, #1687090)
Fonts: Do not load fonts with illegal characters in font family name which caused a crash. (Bugs #1508928, #1495386)
Inkview: Fix loading files with non-ASCII characters in filename (Bug #488997)
Shortcuts

Fix "Shift" modifier being added incorrectly for many user defined shortcuts (making them unusable)
Allow to set shortcuts with characters that need to be escaped (e.g. "&", "<", ">")
Fix crash when exporting user defined shortcuts on Windows (Bug #1639701)
Improved performance of shortcut list in preferences

Fill and Stroke: Fix HSL color selector sometimes showing corrupted colors with a non-functioning 5th slider (Bug #1635982)
Fix occasional crash when closing Inkscape or saving the document (Bug #1670688)
Fix tearing and glitching while moving objects. Don't stop() the rubberband until it has actually been started. (Bug #1510704)
Fix various memory leaks (Bug #1662686, #1662683)
Fix temporarily disappearing transformation handles (Bug #1663952)
Fix bug on rotate copies with one line vertical input (Bug #1665463)
Fix nodes reverting back during editing (Bug #1270989)
Fix crash when moving objects by null-checking return from sp_svg_transform_write [1]
Don't block data entry into the text-tool font-size entry widget after an empty entry [2]
Reduce overall height of the options dialog (Bug #1666939, #1659446)
Fix unfilled rectangles missing when importing WMF (Bug #1665421)
Fix extraneous numbers inserted with color rename (Bug #1658320)
Fix --export-latex crash with a svg file (Bug #1464987)
Fix EMF export glitch with GDI clipping, by starting it with a COPY instead of an OR (Bug #1405292)
Fix linking of duplicated text on paths (Bug #312116)
Fix stroke width of edges for extrude extension (Bug #1680833)
Fix incorrect scaling in extensions when document units are not px (Bug #1660474, #1660967)
Fix hang in linked flowed text when setting outer line-height to zero (Bug #1655308)
Fix displacement of text when moving a selection of frame and text-flowed-into-frame (Bug #1426613)
Fix crash when trying to move svg symbol (Bug #1662439)
Fix crash on editing path created by the rotate copies LPE (Bug #1665463)

Known issues

DPI Change: known issues with 'Scale elements' option (1653230,1653236,1654342,1654796,1654880,1654903,1655005,1655053,1660228)

Renderer: Artifacts in Gaussian blur effects with default quality settings (Bug #1656383)
Node editor: Deselecting selected nodes of complex paths takes a long time (Bug #1652100)
Performance: Using the objects dialog at least once in your Inkscape session slows down actions such as duplicate and delete for files with many objects. (Bug #1431274)
