Inkscape 0.40

A Cross-platform Open Source Vector Graphics (SVG) Drawing Tool

http://www.inkscape.org/

The Inkscape project is proud to announce its 0.40 release.  This
release includes three major new capabilities:  Layers, Bitmap tracing,
and Text-on-Path.  In addition, there are many minor features, a number
of usability enhancements, three new tutorials, and hundreds of bug 
fixes.  

Following our last release four months ago, we have focused on intensive
development, adding several new dependencies such as a garbage collector
and the Gtk 2.4 libraries.  Because of this, you may encounter more 
trouble getting Inkscape installed on Linux than in previous releases.  
We apologize for this.  To help those who run into this issue, we're also
providing 'Static Binary' packages that include these libraries with them.
