https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/4395
Added display overlay controls in top right corners. You need to have scrollbars enable to see it.
OpenGL Canvas rendering (GPU rendering)
We added OpenGL rendering it is highly experimental and its turned off by default. (known to be broken on Mac and windows). Preferences -> rendering -> OpenGL

Tools
Node tool
Pattern editing on canvas is now easier you can click on any part of pattern and it will show you controls on that position. We also outline that shows you edges of pattern. First square controls position circle controls rotation and second square controls size hold shift to constrain proportions.
We also fixed performance problems with patterns so now you can have smaller patterns in project and also its possible to zoom in on pattern
Path Operations
Masking / Clipping
- A new option to preserve clips / masks when ungrouping objects has been added (
Edit → Preferences → Behavior → Clippaths and Masks: When ungroup, clip/mask is preserved in childrens). The option is active by default. This means that when you now ungroup a group that has been clipped, the elements inside it will inherit the clip. Previously, the clip was removed and everything became un-clipped. To go back to previous default behavior, deactivate this new option. (MR #3564) -->
Dialogs
Layers and Objects
We added search feature, and more UX improvements like click and drag to lock change visibility of the objects. Cliclking on grup does not auto expand . Selecting multiple object and hiting visiblity change all selected.
Fill and stroke Dialog
New pattern editor was added in to UI. You can preview patterns change name, size, rotation, offset, gaps and colors for some specific patterns. We also added collections of patterns ~paint/pattern.svg so its easier to be organized . Since this allows having much more patterns preset we also added search function .
Symbols
You can drag and drop symbols on canvas and they are going to be place where you dropped them
