About this release

Definitely not released yet.

Inkscape 1.0.1 is a stability and bugfix release.

The most notable improvements are:

  • Fill in

New Features

An experimental Scribus PDF export extension has been added. It is available as one of the many export formats in the 'Save as' and 'Save a Copy' dialogs.

To be able to get a correct and color-managed CMYK PDF file with text converted to curves, you must:

  • have Scribus 1.5.x installed (the Scribus executable must not be called scribus-ng)
  • have enabled color management for your document
  • have selected one color profile to use for the colors in your file
  • assign all colors in the document with the color managed color selector in the Fill and Stroke dialog
  • not use filters in your drawing (this includes blur)
  • not use any transparency if you're exporting to PDF/X-1, PDF/X-3 or PDF 1.3
  • not include any bitmap images
  • not use markers
  • not use any other SVG features that are not supported by Scribus

The page size corresponds to the document size in Scribus. When you add a bleed, an area of the given width outside the page area in Inkscape will be included in the PDF file.

Please test the extension, and always carefully check the result before you send it to a print service.
