About Inkscape
Inkscape is an open source drawing tool that uses the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) scalable vector graphics format (SVG). Some supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, Inkscape supports Creative Commons' metadata, node-editing, layers, complex path operations, text-on-path, text-in-shape, and SVG XML editing. It can also import EPS, PostScript, and most bitmap formats, and exports PNG, PS, PDF and various vector formats. Inkscape's main motivation is to provide the Open Source community with a fully W3C compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool. Additional work includes conversion of the codebase from C/Gtk to C++/Gtkmm, emphasizing a lightweight core with powerful features added through an extension mechanism, and maintaining a friendly, open, community-oriented development process.

Formal Announcement Text
Inkscape 0.91 Released!
<a href="https://www.inkscape.org">www.inkscape.org</a>
The Inkscape community announces the release of Inkscape 0.91. Inkscape is an multi-platform, Open-Source Vector Graphics Editor that uses SVG as its native file format. Digital artists use it to produce professional quality work. Engineers and scientists use it to create clear drawings to explain their ideas. Everyday people use it to create simple drawings, develop their design skills, and just have fun. This new version features faster and more accurate rendering, new and improved tools, as well as better and wider file-format support.
Just a few of the highlights in this release:
- Rendering
- Under-the-hood, Inkscape has moved to the Cairo rendering library which results in fast, high quality rendering while reducing memory usage. Filter effects are now accelerated with OpenMP multithreading.
- Measurement Tool
- This new tool allows designers to measure between or across objects; especially useful for font design.
- Text Tool
- All available font-variants are now displayed and selectable. Currently used font faces are displayed at the top of the font-selector. CSS 2 font lists are supported.
- Symbols
- Symbol library dialog with drag and drop support. Visio stencils supported.
- On-screen Editing
- Multi-colored and labeled guide-lines, better snapping, dialog status and position preserved between editing sessions.
- Pixel Tracing
- New routine for high quality vectorization of pixel art.
- Import/Export
- Cross-platform WMF and EMF import and export, improved Visio (VSD) and Coral Draw (CDR) import, new Flash XML Graphics (FXG), Synfig Animation Studio (SIF), and HTML5 Canvas export.
For a complete list of new and improved features see the <a href="http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.91">0.91 Release Notes</a>.
The new version of Inkscape for Windows, Linux, and OSX can be obtained from our <a href="https://inkscape.org/en/download/">download page</a>.
