NOTE: This is a working document showing specific near-term tasks needed for achieving milestones. The number in front of the version is in reference to the milestone.
 
''Milestones 0-9 have been completed since the start of the Inkscape Project. See [[OldRoadmap]]''
 
 
=== Milestone 12 - Inkscape 0.46 ===
 
New/Changed Dependencies:
* Gtk 2.8
 
Architectural Refactoring Effort:
* Eliminate use of the style.h types in as much of codebase as possible, particularly display/*.
* Create an SPObject API for tracking references and avoiding id clashes on import and interdocument copy/paste. What we need are a void SPDocument::importCopies([set of SPObjects]), and an [set of SPObjects] SPObject::dependencies() method.
* Implement [http://grin-optics.org gradient] UI "release" handler to deal with gradient garbage collection (see bug 984854)
* Replace style.cpp entirely, with a clearer and cleaner version.
 
Codebase Cleanup Effort:
* Change to use of GQuarks instead of #defines where feasible
* Learn and use autoscan and autoreconf to find out which configure tests are still needed.
* Clean up configure.in
* (PARTIALLY DONE) [http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DirectoryReorgProposal Directory Reorganization] (rejon)
* Convert all tabs into spaces (convert tabs to 4 spaces)
* Rename all '[[SPFooBar]]' routines to '[[FooBar]]' and put into namespaces
** (DONE) dialogs folder
 
File Format Support Effort:
* PDF Export
* Investigate ps2ai, pstoedit and ai2svg conversion options (potential EPS support?)
* Import of native Adobe Illustrator files
* Add extension for use of [[VDX2SVG]] (http://vdxtosvg.sourceforge.net/)
* Add extension for use of [[PDF2SVG]] (http://www.solidcode.net/pdf2svg/ - this doesn't actually link to a useful page)
 
Extensions Effort:
* Implement extension API
* Implement extension registry
* Complete Extension preferences dialog
 
User Interface Effort:
* Object-to-object snapping
* Enhanced grid system
* improvement of svg patterns UI - make it similar to gradient-drag, instead of piggybacking knotholder
* Palettes
** Custom palettes like from Gnome
** Ability to load 3rd-party palettes (e.g. Pantone, Trumatch, Focoltone, Toyo, etc.)
* Implement [[LittleCMS]] as color management system
* Implement iso & hex grid
* Editable toolbars (libegg)
* Reenable fuzzy font matching [bb]
* Improve freehand curve smoothness [pjrm, paraprax]
 
Desktop Integration Effort:
* [[WebDAV/FTP]] support via GNOME-VFS, Neon, or the like
* Make printing work more efficiently and reliably
* Inter-application cut-and-paste
* Inter-application drag-and-drop
* Clipart manager GUI
 
Testing Effort:
* Include some rendering tests in `make check'.
* Get 'make check' to pass on Win32 and OSX
* Investigate performance measurement testing for Inkscape
 
Cairo Adoption Effort:
* Prereq: Is renderer immune to the same kinds of numerical problems we see with our new renderer, libnr, or libart?
* Will the new renderer improve performance for most users?
* Integrate a Cairo-based SVG Canvas library
 
Animation Effort
* Prereq: We need a conceptualization of how it should work
* Currently, part of the concept discussion is at [[Animation-(Timeline)|here]]
 
SVG Feature Compliance Effort:
* Investigate SVG docs where SVG is not the default namespace used at the root -- e.g. <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://...etc"><svg:rect.../><blah></svg:svg> -- <blah> would end up getting shoehorned into the svg namespace
* Write an Internal DTD subset describing the custom Inkscape XML elements, for validation against SVG DTD
* Ensure Inkscape does not throw away the internal DTD subsets of documents it reads
* Masking
* Implement perspective transformations via [[PerspectiveObject]]
* Scripting
* Path editing
* Shaped strokes
* Markers
** Inherit stroke properties like color
** On-canvas editing
** Fix snapping issue
* masks/clippaths
** on-canvas editing
* [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=893812&group_id=93438&atid=604309 hyperlinking]
