Compilers

  • Version 1.0 requires a C++11 compiler.
  • Version 1.1 requires a C++17 compiler.
  • Version 1.4 requires a C++20 compiler.

See c++11, c++17, and C++20.

Libs

C++ bindings are not included, since their required versions match those of the C counterparts.

* Tentative dependency

  • Pango 1.42.2 requires Harfbuzz 1.4.2
  • Pango 1.44.0 requires Glib 2.59.2 and Harfbuzz 2.0. 1.44 exposes hb_font directly.
  • Pango 1.45.1 requires Glib 2.60
  • Pango 1.48.4 has vertical upright marks fix.
  • Harfbuzz 4.1 changes glyph positioning for upright vertical text when font does not have vertical metrics (from glyph touching to of cell to being centered in cell).

** Gtkmm4 requires API changed Glibmm, Cairomm, and Pangomm. In particular, enums use child namespaces in newer libraries (Cairo::FORMAT_ARGB32 -> Cairo::Surface::Format::ARGB32).

+ Decision at 5 Nov 2023 developer's meeting. Gtk4 4.10.1 has an important scrolling bug fix.

Distros

Note: This table is not relevant to (non-fink) MacOS X, where we ship the desired version with Inkscape.

"Inkscape" column is default or distro version / oldest that builds - latest that builds. If no latest is given then that means trunk is expected to build on the given platform.

e.g. for a distro that ships with 0.48 but should support building of trunk you might get: 

0.48 / 0.47-

General rules:

  • Support latest Debian Stable (as of feature freeze) Debian packages
  • Support latest Ubuntu LTS (as of feature freeze) Ubuntu packages
    • e.g. Considering Inkscape 1.2, the latest Ubuntu LTS at feature freeze time (around February 2022) would have been Ubuntu 20.04. The latest LTS at release time (around May 2022), though, will be Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, according to the rule, we should support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the minimum version.
  • Support last two Fedora releases (as of feature freeze) Fedora packages
  • Don't break point releases.
