This also helps find objects you've hidden, as the option to unhide objects under the cursor only appears if there are hidden objects in that location ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3800 MR #3800]). * The '''Extract image''' command has been improved and works with multiple images now. You can now enter a base filename; if none is entered, the ids of the selected images are used as filename. You can also choose whether the embedded image data should be replaced by a link to the exported file ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/461 MR extensions#461], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/167 Bug extensions#167]). </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Dithering === </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Inkscape's gradients sometimes suffered from visible steps between colors, a phenomenon also known as '''gradient banding'''. Gradient banding is caused by the difference between how many different colors are available for the selected image file format and how many colors a human eye can discern. The effect becomes especially prominent when exporting a gradient that only spans a small color range to a high-resolution image. There just aren't enough colors available for a smooth transition. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> '''Dithering''' softens these steps '''by scattering pixels''' of the different adjacent colors along the gradient, a little bit like a blur. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Dithering is now used both for '''Export of raster images''' as well as for '''displaying gradients on canvas''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3812 MR #3812]). This functionality requires a special version of Cairo, our rendering engine. This means that it will '''only be available in the pre-packaged builds''' (for '''macOS''', '''Windows''' and for the '''Linux AppImage'''). </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Dithering can be turned off (better performance / smaller exported file size for raster images) in <code>Preferences → Rendering → Use dithering</code>. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> '''Note:''' * ''Dithering does not work for mesh gradients!'' * ''For standard Linux package formats (deb, rpm, …), it depends upon your Linux distribution maintainers whether they will patch up the version of Cairo they want to distribute. We hope that this change will one day also be included in the official Cairo packages ([https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/-/merge_requests/24 Link to ongoing discussion]).'' </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> [[File:Dithering_comparison.png|frame|center|Top: Gradient banding, bottom: dithered, smooth gradient]] </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Menu === </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * The option '''<code>View → Custom</code>''' was removed, as the difference was the location of the snap controls bar, and that [[#Snap_popover|is gone now]] ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3647 MR #3647]). * After installing a new extension with the Extensions Manager, the menu now '''updates without the need to restart Inkscape''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3611/diffs?commit_id=0bb51adf076ead63d8aa149ad2547d8f96833761 Commit #0bb51a]) </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Performance === </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * Various performance improvements for rendering while panning and zooming ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3838 MR 3838]) * Improved performance on macOS </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Settings === </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Some '''default settings''' have been changed to make Inkscape easier to use for new users: </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * Rotation is now locked by default * The default handle size has been increased (to 4) * The default number of autosave files has been increased (to 50) </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Status Bar === </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * The layer selection drop-down has been replaced by a '''layer indicator'''. Clicking on the indicator opens the new [[#Layers_and_Objects_dialog|Layers and object dialog]]. This change improves Inkscape's performance for documents with many layers ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3648 MR #3648]). * The '''layer lock and hide icons''' now come after the layer indicator, which is more logical ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3856 MR #3856], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3104 Bug #3104]) * The status bar '''contents are now configurable''' from <code>Edit → Preferences → Interface: Status bar</code> ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3445 MR #3445]) * When your document has more than one page, the status bar shows the '''page navigation''' to the right of the message area, allowing you to leaf through the pages or to select a specific page directly </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> <gallery mode="packed" heights=350px> File:Page navigation.png|Page navigation in status bar File:Status bar items toggle.gif|Toggling visibility of items in the status bar (click to see animation) </gallery> </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Tool Bar === </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * The Tool bar '''width can now be adjusted''' by dragging its edge. The tool icons will wrap into '''multiple columns''', separated by tool category, depending upon the width. * You can now '''hide tools''' from the tool bar at <code>Edit → Preferences → Interface → Toolbars: Toolbars</code> ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3515 MR #3515]) </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> [[File:X5pWfteMzW.gif|frame|center|Toggling tool visibility for the tool bar]] </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> == Canvas == </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Page === </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * Inkscape documents can now hold '''multiple pages'''! Learn more in the [[#Page_tool|'''section about the new Page tool''']]. * '''Page shadows''' now have a '''more realistic''', blurry, fade-out look ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3128 MR #3128]). * '''Settings for the page background / decoration''' (shadow, border) were refactored, see [[#Document_Properties|section about Document properties dialog]]. * The page's '''default color''' is white, and the default desk color is set to light gray. This way, it is easier to differentiate what is '''on''' the page(s) and what is '''outside''' of the page(s). </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> [[File:Page shadow.png|center|thumb|800x400px|Page shadow comparison. Left: Inkscape 1.1, right: Inkscape 1.2]] </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Snapping === </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> [[File:Snapping popover .gif|frame|right|New snap settings layout]] </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Snap popover ==== </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> The snap bar has been replaced with a new ''''popover'-type dialog''', which will '''unfold''' when you click on the little arrow symbol in the top right corner, next to the snap symbol. Snap options now have '''always-visible descriptions''', to make them easier to understand ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3323 MR #3323]). </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> To activate / deactivate snapping globally, click on the snap symbol in the top right corner or press '''<kbd>%</kbd>'''. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> The popover dialog has two different modes: * '''Simple''': Only 3 options: snap bounding boxes and paths, activate / deactivate the new alignment snapping). This provides simple presets for many use cases. * '''Advanced''': Gives the familiar granular control over every snapping option. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> '''''Note:''' Switching from 'Advanced' back to 'Simple' is not merely a visual change, but will reset snap settings to defaults.'' </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Alignment and Distribution snapping ==== </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> During Google Summer of Code 2021, GSOC student '''[https://gitlab.com/ParthPant Parth Pant]''' worked on adding '''on-canvas alignment and distribution snapping''', with the support of his mentors Thomas Holder and Marc Jeanmougin. As a result, '''two new modes of on-canvas snapping''' have been added. These new modes make aligning and distributing objects a '''very easy drag-and-drop operation''' ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3294 MR #3294]).. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * When '''on-canvas alignment''' is active (option '''Alignment'''), Inkscape will display horizontal or vertical temporary guide lines that indicate when the selected object can be aligned relative to another object on the canvas. It connects the points of the objects that are in alignment. With the option '''Nodes in same path''', alignment snapping is also available for nodes while editing a path with the node tool. * With '''distribution snapping''' (option '''Same distances'''), multiple objects close by are taken into account, making it possible to align objects in a grid with very little effort. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> The '''temporary guide lines''' only appear while editing / moving objects on the canvas. Once a guide shows up, the movement of the selection is loosely constrained in the direction of the guide. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Alignment and Distribution snapping guide lines can '''display the distance(s)''' between objects as a little label.

Instead of the well-known black rectangular tiles, the extension can now also tile clones of a selected object ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/394 MR extensions#394], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/150 Issue extensions#150]). </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Bugs fixed === </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== All extensions ==== </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * Unit conversions are more consistent now ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/329 MR extensions#329]), and several bugs pertaining to misinterpretation of units have been fixed. * Extensions that query properties of paths with multiple subpaths now get more correct results if that path uses relative path commands ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/438 MR extensions#438], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/450 Issue extensions#450]). * When extensions set an element to "insensitive" (locked), this change is honored by Inkscape ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/commit/d5282bd2341d24bc53cec02aed81e2f3ee6c6050 commit extensions#d5282bd2]) * The defaults of parameters are now identical in inx files and in the command line interface of the extensions ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/325 MR extensions#325]) * Gradients whose stop positions are given in percentages are now handled ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/374 MR extensions#374]) * Hide the console window on Windows when calling external utilities ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/407 MR extensions#407], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/244 Issue extensions#244]) * The <code>BaseElement.duplicate()</code> function now makes sure that the duplicated element and its children have unique IDs ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/426 MR extensions#426], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/379 Issue extensions#379]). * The "Reverse Path" method now returns correct results for paths with multiple subpaths ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/427 MR extension#427], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/445 Issue extensions#445]). * A bug parsing color components of 1 (1.0, 100%) has been fixed. <code>"1.0"</code>, <code>1.0</code> and <code>"100%"</code> are treated as <code>255</code>, while <code>"1"</code> and <code>1</code> are treated as <code>1</code> ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/456 MR extensions#456], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/402 Issue extensions#402]). * Several small fixes that make working with paths and clones more predictable and robust ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/433 MR extensions#433]) * Small changes improving parameter description ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/452 MR extensions#452], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/452 Issue extensions#452]) </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Particular extensions ==== </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * In the '''Add nodes''' extension, closed paths were previously changed to open paths, and an erroneous node was added. Other and third-party extension will probably profit from the underlying bugfix as well ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/336 MR extensions#336], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/209 Issue extensions#209]). * The live preview of the '''Calendar''' extension now works ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/394 MR extensions#394]). * Multiple bugs in the '''DXF import''' extension were fixed, such as a loss of layering information ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/410 MR extensions#410], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/377 Issue extensions#377]), and import of inserted blocks that have been rotated and flipped ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/411 MR extensions#411]), extruded elements and multiline text ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/432 MR extension#432], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/286 Issue extensions#286]). An incorrect unit in the documentation has been exchanged ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/358 MR extensions #358]). * When using the '''DXF Outline (R12)''' export, elements in nested groups are now exported correctly ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/347/ MR extensions#347], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/382 Issue extensions#382]). It also doesn't include (invisible) paths contained in clips and masks anymore ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/440 MR extensions#440], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/381 Issue extensions#381]) and documents are exported with the correct scale when scale is different than 1 ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/466 MR extensions#466], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/443 Issue extensions#443]) * The '''DXF14 export''' now shows a better error message in case of a very, very deeply nested SVG document ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/442 MR extensions#442], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/360 Issue extensions#360]). Also a warning message regarding the Robo-Master spline option has been added ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/439 MR extensions#439], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/225 Issue extensions#225]). * A crash in the '''Embed image''' extension has been fixed, in which images were erroneously determined as missing by the extension ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/461 MR extensions#461], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/441 Issue extensions#441]). * The '''Extensions Manager''' is now shipped with Inkscape and doesn't download itself automatically anymore ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/421 MR extensions#421]). * On Windows, the '''Extract image''' extension now correctly links the extracted files ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/461 MR extensions#461]). * The slicing positions in the '''Guillotine''' extension are now correct, they were previously off following the flip of the y axis in Inkscape 1.0 ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/334 MR extensions#334], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/269 Issue extensions#269]). * In '''GCodetools''', multiple crashes have been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/335 MR extensions#335], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/312 Issue extensions#312]; [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/307 MR extensions#307], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/322 Issue extensions#322]; [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/388 MR extensions#388], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/276 Issue extensions#276]), however this module is currently unmaintained and in need of attention. '''Contributions are highly welcome!''' For this reason, the module has been given it's own repository ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/402 MR extensions#402]). * The Hue Level in the '''HSL Adjust''' extension now has a range of 360 ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/400 MR extensions#400]) * The '''HTML5 canvas export''' now works better with non-Inkscape SVG documents ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/467 MR extensions#467]). Exported files also now have correct output for closed paths and objects with transparency ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/345 MR extensions#345], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/332 Issue extensions#332]). * The '''Interpolate extensions''' (Interpolate and interpolate attribute) have been completely rewritten and multiple issues have been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/240 MR extensions#240]). * The '''JPEG export''' previously converted a transparent background to black ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/366 Issue extensions#366]). Now, the document background color is used ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/3994 MR #3994]). This also affects the other Raster export extensions. Additionally, the JPEG export now works with even larger resolutions ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/6522 Issue inbox#6522], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/445 MR extensions#445]). * Several bugs in the '''Formula (pdflatex)''' extension have been fixed, such as incorrect insertion position ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/339 Issue extensions#339]) and random character substitution in documents with many formulae ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/453 MR extensions#453]). The extension now also works on Windows if the user name is longer than 8 characters ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/448 MR extensions#448], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/287 Issue extensions#287]). * A bug in the rotation sense of the '''Lindenmayer''' extension has been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/437 MR extensions#437], [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1094627 LP issue 1094627]) * The '''Motion''' extension now gives better results for paths with multiple closed subpaths ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/266 Issue extensions#266]) and when the selected element is part of a transformed group. ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/317 MR extensions#317]). * The '''Optimized PNG export''' doesn't crash anymore when running it with default parameters ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/463 MR extensions#463], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/395 Issue extensions#395]) * A useless warning message when using '''Optimized SVG''' output was removed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/368 MR extensions#368] , [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/428 Issue extensions#428]) * The '''Pixel snap''' extension now aligns objects to the coordinate system starting at the top left of the page. The previous behavior, snapping them to a grid aligned with the page bottom, can be activated in the settings ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/429 MR extensions#429], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/264 Issue extensions#264]). A bug related to inconsistent unit conversion has been fixed as well. * Several bugs in the '''PostScript (PS) / EPS import''' have been adressed: It now handles file names with non-latin characters ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/408 MR extensions#408], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/281 Issue extensions#281]) on Windows and doesn't rotate the image anymore if the majority of the text is not oriented left-to-right ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/457 MR extensions#457] and [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/258 Issue extensions#258]). Also a clearer error message is shown for invalid PS/EPS files ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/454 MR extensions#454], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/404 Issue extensions#404]) * In the '''Randomize Colors''' extension, shapes with unset opacity are not ignored anymore ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/331 MR extensions#331] [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/236 Issue extensions#236]). * A crash in the '''Render Polyhedron''' extension when attempting to render a custom object defined by its edges has been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/390 MR extensions#390] , [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/408 Issue extensions#408]). * The '''Replace Color''' extension now processes colors in RGBA space ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/392 Issue extensions#392], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/419 Issue extensions#419]). * The "Tangential Offset" parameter of the '''Scatter''' extension is now a percentage of the pattern width, and an issue with nested groups has been resolved ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/327 MR extensions#327]). Another issue where the spacing was off when using the "stretch" mode has also been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/327 MR extensions#327]). * The '''Synfig export''' now exports objects that are not paths (such as rectangles, texts, circles) correctly again ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/198 Issue extensions#198]); and paths with multiple subpaths are converted correctly ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/197 Issue extensions#197]) ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/462 MR extensions#462]). * The '''TIFF export''' now also works on Linux ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/458 MR extensions#458], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/422 Issue extensions#422]) * In the '''Visualize Path''' extensions '''Measure Path''' and '''Number Nodes''', the results are now correct also when the parent of the selected object is transformed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/314 MR extensions#314], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/171 Issue extensions#171]). * A crash in the '''Voronoi Diagram''' extension when applied to non-Inkscape documents has been fixed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/313 MR extensions#313], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/222 Issue extensions#222]), and the output is now correct independent of the document unit ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/403 Issue extensions#403], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/382 MR extensions#382]). * The '''Webslicer''' extension now correctly cleans up its temporary files ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/436 MR extensions#436]) </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Extension Development === </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== API Changes for Third-Party Extension Developers ==== </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ''Main Article: [https://inkscape.gitlab.io/extensions/documentation/authors/update1.2.html Updating your Extension for 1.2]'' </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> A lot of additional features have been added to inkex, including a new Style API, a new Units API, support for multipage documents and more.

Our test suite is now continuously running on Python 3.7-3.10 ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/370 MR extensions#370]) on Linux as well as Python 3.8 on Windows ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/404 MR extensions#404]). * Added issue template ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/377 MR extensions#377]) and merge request template ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/416 MR extensions#416]) to communicate more effectively. * inkex can be installed via <code>pip</code> by providing the url of a pipeline artifact, even in forks ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/353 MR extensions#353]). * The code formatting of the extensions repository has been made consistent ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/418 MR extensions#418]). This enables contributors to think less about formatting and more about what matters. * Improvements to code quality ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/419 MR extensions#419], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/422 MR extensions#422], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/423 MR extensions#423], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/428 MR extensions#428]) and clearer communication of it ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/420 MR extensions#420]). * A dependency management system, [https://python-poetry.org/ poetry], has been introduced ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/446 MR extensions#446]). This provides packagers with the necessary information which versions of python modules the extensions are currently tested against. * The deprecated <code>inkex.py</code> file has been removed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/460 MR extensions#460]) since it's interfering with the new dependency manager. * The localization of the extensions has been improved ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/425 MR extensions#425]). * It is now possible to use ngettext and pgettext in extensions for better translations ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/459 MR extensions#459]). </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> == Command line == </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * ''''verbs' have been removed'''.
