* Several issues in the '''DXF14 export''' have been fixed:
** Documents with non-uniform '''scale''' are exported correctly ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/388 Bug extensions#388], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/498 Bug extensions#498], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/510 MR extensions#510]).
** When importing a DXF file created by Inkscape into '''Fusion 360''', the warning message about missing units is gone now (given the SVG document uses "real-world" units such as mm or in).
** A leftover '''debug message''' was removed ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/494 Bug extensions#494], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/510 MR extensions#510]).
* The '''TIFF export''' now supports transparency ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/478 Bug extensions#478], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/485 MR extensions#485]).
* DPI attribute is preserved for '''JPG and TIFF''' raster export ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/484 Bug extensions#484], [https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/485 MR extensions#485]).
