Compilers

Version 1.0 requires a C++11 compiler. Version 1.1 requires a C++17 compiler.

Libs

C++ bindings are not included, since their required versions match those of the C counterparts.

Library	v 0.92	v 1.0	v 1.1	v 1.2	v 1.3
Boehm-GC	7.2	7.2	7.2
Cairo	1.14	1.14 (1.15.4 required for PDF links)	1.16*	1.16	1.16
double-conversion [1] (lib2geom dependency)	(not required)	any
FreeType			2.9* (Required for Variable fonts)	2.9	2.9
GDL	N/A (3.4)	3.4	Not Used	Not Used	Not Used
Glib	2.28	2.48	2.56 or 2.62*	2.64	2.64
GTK+	2.24 (3.8)	3.22	3.24*	3.24	3.24
GNU Scientific Library	?	?
HarfBuzz	?	?	2.2*	2.6	2.6
libsigc++	2.0.12*	2.0.12*	2.0.12*
libSoup	(not required)	(any)
libpotrace	(not required)	(any)
libxml	2.6.11*	2.6.11*
libxslt	1.0.15*	1.0.15*
lcms	1.13	2.2	2.2 (2.9*)	2.9*	2.9*
Pango	1.24	1.24 (1.41.1 required for variable fonts)	1.42*	1.44	1.44 (HarfBuzz shaping)
Poppler	0.20.0	0.20.0	0.29 (0.71*)	0.29 (0.71*)	0.71*
gtk-mac-integration gtk-osx-application-gtk3	N/A	2.0.8 (macOS only)

* Tentative dependency

Pango 1.42.2 requires Harfbuzz 1.4.2
Pango 1.44.0 requires Glib 2.59.2 and Harfbuzz 2.0. 1.44 exposes hb_font directly.
Pango 1.45.1 requires Glib 2.60
Pango 1.48.4 has vertical upright marks fix.
Harfbuzz 4.1 changes metrics for upright vertical text.

Distros

Note: This table is not relevant to (non-fink) MacOS X, where we ship the desired version with Inkscape.

"Inkscape" column is default or distro version / oldest that builds - latest that builds. If no latest is given then that means trunk is expected to build on the given platform.

e.g. for a distro that ships with 0.48 but should support building of trunk you might get:

0.48 / 0.47-

General rules:

Support latest Debian Stable (as of feature freeze) Debian packages
Support latest Ubuntu LTS (as of feature freeze) Ubuntu packages
- e.g. Considering Inkscape 1.2, the latest Ubuntu LTS at feature freeze time (around February 2022) would have been Ubuntu 20.04. The latest LTS at release time (around May 2022), though, will be Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, according to the rule, we should support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the minimum version.
Support last CentOS/Redhat (as best effort). We should probably drop this requirement. CentOS is dead and Redhat makes finding package lists difficult.
Support last two Fedora releases (as of feature freeze) Fedora packages
Don't break point releases.
