Milestone 12 - Inkscape 0.46
New/Changed Dependencies:
- Gtk 2.8
Refactoring/Cleanup Effort:
- Eliminate use of the style.h types in as much of codebase as possible, particularly display/*.
- Create an SPObject API for tracking references and avoiding id clashes on import and interdocument copy/paste. What we need are a void SPDocument::importCopies([set of SPObjects]), and an [set of SPObjects] SPObject::dependencies() method.
- Implement gradient UI "release" handler to deal with gradient garbage collection (see bug 984854)
- improvement of svg patterns UI - make it similar to gradient-drag, instead of piggybacking knotholder
- Change to use of GQuarks instead of #defines where feasible
- Learn and use autoscan and autoreconf to find out which configure tests are still needed.
- Clean up configure.in
- (PARTIALLY DONE) Directory Reorganization (rejon)
File Format Support Effort:
- PDF Export
- Investigate ps2ai, pstoedit and ai2svg conversion options (potential EPS support?)
- Import of native Adobe Illustrator files
- Add extension for use of VDX2SVG (http://vdxtosvg.sourceforge.net/)
- Add extension for use of PDF2SVG (http://www.solidcode.net/pdf2svg/ - this doesn't actually link to a useful page)
Extensions Effort:
- Implement extension API
- Implement extension registry
- Complete Extension preferences dialog
Desktop Integration Effort:
- WebDAV/FTP support via GNOME-VFS, Neon, or the like
- Make printing work more efficiently and reliably
Testing:
- Include some rendering tests in `make check'.
- Get 'make check' to pass on Win32 and OSX
SVG Compliance
- masks/clippaths
- on-canvas editing
- hyperlinking
Milestone 13 - Inkscape 0.47
New/Changed Dependencies:
- Gtk 2.10
- Reduce open/total RFE ratio to 40%
- Reduce open/total bug ratio to 5%
Milestone 14 - Inkscape 0.48
- Object-to-object snapping
- Markers -
- Enhanced grid system
- Inter-application cut-and-paste
- Inter-application drag-and-drop
- Clipart manager GUI
Milestone 15 - Inkscape 0.49
- Replace style.cpp entirely, with a clearer and cleaner version.
- (DONE) Integrate use of libcroco for handling Cascading Style Sheets.
- Palettes
- Custom palettes like from Gnome
- Ability to load 3rd-party palettes (e.g. Pantone, Trumatch, Focoltone, Toyo, etc.)
Milestone 16 - Inkscape 0.50
- Prereq: Is renderer immune to the same kinds of numerical problems we see with our new renderer, libnr, or libart?
- Will the new renderer improve performance for most users?
- Integrate a Cairo-based SVG Canvas library
Milestone 17 - Inkscape 0.51
- Prereq: We need a conceptualization of how it should work
- Currently, part of the concept discussion is at here
Milestone 18 - Inkscape 0.52

Milestone [Future]
- Investigate performance measurement testing for Inkscape
- Convert all tabs into spaces (convert tabs to 4 spaces)
- Rename all 'SPFooBar' routines to 'FooBar' and put into namespaces
- (DONE) dialogs folder
- Investigate SVG docs where SVG is not the default namespace used at the root -- e.g. <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://...etc"><svg:rect.../><blah></svg:svg> -- <blah> would end up getting shoehorned into the svg namespace
- Write an Internal DTD subset describing the custom Inkscape XML elements, for validation against SVG DTD
- Ensure Inkscape does not throw away the internal DTD subsets of documents it reads
- Start thinking about 1.0 when major functionality gaps are closed
