| | |
| === Milestone 12 - Inkscape 0.46 ===
| |
| | |
| New/Changed Dependencies:
| |
| * Gtk 2.8 (required)

| * 2geom (optional)
| |
| | |
| Architectural Refactoring Effort:

| * Implement [http://grin-optics.org gradient] UI "release" handler to deal with gradient garbage collection (see bug 984854)
| |
| * 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.
