Release highlights

Released on 2020-04-09

Inkscape 0.92.5 is a stability and bugfix release.

The most notable improvements are:

  • Python extensions will now run with Python 3
  • Fonts on Windows 10 that are not installed globally are now available to be used in Inkscape

Important changes

The Inkscape project has opened a new, bug and feature request reporting page for users on GitLab at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/. Please use this new page to report bugs and issues that occur with Inkscape 0.92.5 and with development builds.

Improvements

  • Extensions are now compatible with Python 3 as well as Python 2
  • The option to export to 'Save as...' > 'Cairo PNG' has been removed, as it was frequently confused with the 'Export PNG image' option
  • The snap package (for Linux) now supports GTK2 themes from common distros, via the gtk2-common-themes content interface


Notable bugfixes

  • As of Windows 10 (version 1809), fonts are installed into a new user-specific folder by default. Inkscape can now find and display those fonts, in your fonts drop down list. (Bug #50)
  • The default Perl interpreter executable on Windows was changed from "perl.exe" to "wperl.exe" which should usually avoid flashing a console window. (Bug #66)
  • Inset / Outset and calligraphy tool dots now honor document units (Commits #8b15224a and #53183233
  • Fix stroke to path for dashed paths with round caps (Commit #cb555bdc)
  • Limit size of font preview (Commit #06cb5e15)
  • Files with spaces in names are now opened by the Inkscape snap [Linux] (Commit #1a1d78ad)
  • Default preferences value for 'Rendering tile multiplier' set to a value that yields better performance on modern hardware (note: only applies if you reset your preferences file or install Inkscape for the first time) (Commit #f8dce91b)
  • Remove GCodetools update check (Commit #45b59e76)
  • Remove Trace Bitmap dialog if Inkscape is compiled without potrace (Commit #880a88d9)
  • Remove spell checking dialog if the necessary spell checker library is not installed (Commit #287c3a7e)
  • Fix failing import of certain types of jpg files (usually originating from mobile phones) (Bug #632)
