Release highlights

Not yet released

Inkscape 0.92.4 is a stability and bugfix release.

Improvements

Align and Distribute

Allow to align multiple objects as group relatively to a single object

This makes "treat selection as group" useful with the selections "Last selected / First selected / Biggest object / Smallest object" in which case all elements will be moved as a group relative to the "focused" element which will be kept fixed.

Example aligning multiple (ungrouped) objects to first selected object:

Color sliders

Allow to constrain movement of color sliders by holding "Ctrl" key.

(step size is 16 if the max value is 255, and 10 if it's 100)

Extensions

Previously, the current selection was lost after running an extension. Now, whenever possible, Inkscape will try to keep the objects selected.

Regression fixes

Deselecting a path with many nodes could take a long time (Bugs #1652100 and #1745763)

Notable bugfixes

Some printer drivers (reportedly Canon, EPSON, and Konica Minolta drivers) either failed to print at all or scaled documents to the wrong paper size, because Inkscape always sent jobs with custom paper sizes instead of sizes supported by the drivers. (Bug #630635 comments 3-7; bug #1289733; GitLab MRs 258 and 259)
The measurement tool got confused by mirrored text. Now it measures distances between letters correctly, even when mirrored. (Bug #1738504

More bug fixes

There were even more issues fixed than those listed above, but these probably only affect a small portion of users, or are relevant for development and packaging only.
