			     Inkscape 0.92

		     -~=  Released 2017-01-01  =~-



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			   Release Highlights                          |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  • Mesh Gradients are now supported.  See
    http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Mesh_Gradients
  • Many SVG2 and CSS3 properties are now supported (e.g. paint-order,
    mix-blend-mode). Not all are available from the GUI.
  • The new Object dialog allows to select, label, hide and lock any
    object in the drawing from a dialog that lists them all
  • Selection sets make it possible to 'group' objects together
    regardless of document structure
  • Guides can now be locked to avoid accidental movement
  • Several new path effects have been added, among them
    Envelope/Perspective, Lattice Deformation, Mirror and Rotate Copies
  • There are several new extensions (e.g. a seamless pattern extension)
    and a new filter (colorblindness simulation) included in the
    release, many old extensions have been updated or got new features
  • Spray tool and measure tool received a set of nifty new features
  • Interactive smoothing for lines created with the Pencil tool
  • BSplines (and more) are available for the Pen tool
  • Checkerboard background can be used to more easily see object
    transparencies



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			   Important Changes                           |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  • The default resolution was changed from 90dpi to 96dpi, to match the
    CSS standard. For more background information, please see the Wiki
    article about handling of units in Inkscape. Inkscape 0.92 will
    attempt to identify 'legacy' Inkscape files that need to be
    converted. If such a file is detected, the user will be offered
    three options:

     1. Set 'viewBox'. Inkscape will add an appropriate 'viewBox' which
        will do a global scaling of the document. It will also adjust
        the document width and height if necessary.
     2. Scale elements. Inkscape will scale each internal element.
     3. Ignore. Do nothing. This is an appropriate choice for documents
        meant for screen display.

    For more details, please see:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1389723

  • For developers and packagers, the switch from autotools to CMake is a
    relevant change (users who do not compile their own version will not
    be affected). While the old system is still available for 0.92, it
    is now also possible to compile Inkscape using CMake.  CMake builds
    faster, has a less esoteric scripting language, and has better
    support for building on Windows; for more detailed rationale please
    see http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CMake.



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			  Manipulating Objects                         |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Objects Dialog
==============
New dialog for manipulating the object tree (Imported from Ponyscape).

  • Drag and drop reordering of objects.
  • Lock, and hide one or more items.
  • Use Ctrl+F to search for an item.
  • Select one or more objects in the drawing.
  • Shows individual objects as well as layers.
  • Ability to change highlight color of objects.
  • Ability to set blend mode per object.

Selection Sets Dialog: New dialog that allows the creation of selection
sets that are not affected by document structure.

   Usage:

  • Open Dialog with 'Object > Selection sets'

  • To create a new selection set:
     1. click on the '+' button at the bottom of the dialog (double-click on
        its label to edit)

  • To add objects to a selection set:
     1. select object on the canvas
     2. in the 'Selection sets' dialog click on the '+' icon before the
        selection set in the list

  • To select all objects of a selection set:
     1. deselect any existing selection and click on the selection set in the
        list

  • To remove an object from a selection set

     4. click on the 'Delete' icon (trashbin) before the object in the list

  • To delete a selection set:
     1. select it in the list and click on the '-' button at the bottom of the
        dialog



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|				  Text                                 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Font Features
=============
It is now possible to take advantage of OpenType tables to select alternative
glyphs from a font. For this, a third tab ('Variants') has been added to the
'Text and Font' dialog. Note that browser support is still limited. Inkscape
must also be linked with a recent version of the Pango library.


Vertical Text
=============
Support for vertical text layout has been improved.

  • The default behavior for Latin bases glyphs has been changed. They are now
    rotated sideways as required by the SVG 1.1 standard.
  • Support for the CSS 3 'text-orientation' property has been added. (Note
    that this property is not yet fully supported by browsers.)
  • The CSS 3 values for the 'writing-mode' property are supported in
    rendering. Saving still uses the deprecated SVG 1.1 values.


Accessibility
=============
Converting text to a path will save the text in the 'aria-label' attribute.
This is useful for accessibility and could eventually be used by Inkscape to
reconstruct the text.


Line Spacing
============
Line spacing in Inkscape now follows the CSS standard for the 'line-height'
property. Note the following points:

  • The minimum spacing between lines is determined by the 'strut' value. This
    is determined by the product of the 'font-size' and 'line-height' values on
    the outermost text element. These values are shown and can be set when the
    "Outer Style" button is enabled in the Text Tool's Tool Control bar. To set
    the 'strut' to zero, set the outer style 'line-height' to zero.

  • The unit for 'line-height' can now be chosen. Previous versions of Inkscape
    used a unitless value. When the value is unitless, the line spacing is
    recalculated for each change in font size. This is the most commonly
    expected behavior. When the value has a unit, the line spacing is
    calculated at the point where the CSS 'line-height' property is defined and
    that value is used regardless of following changes in font size. This
    however, will not always lead to evenly spaced lines due to the
    idiosyncrasies of how line spacing is calculated in CSS. (See Tav's write
    up CSS Text Line Spacing Exposed for the details.)

  • When the "Outer Style" button is not enabled, the "Font size" and "Line
    height" boxes show the values of either the selected text or at the cursor
    point (if no text is selected). Changes in font size and line spacing will
    be applied to the selected text or to the whole text object (if no text is
    selected). Unlike other styling properties (e.g. fill color), there is no
    visual indicator of which characters have a particular 'line-height' value.
    One can step through character by character with the cursor to determine a
    span of characters with the same 'line-height' value.

  • To create a set of evenly spaced lines regardless of font size, set the
    'strut' value to the desired line spacing and then set the inner
    'line-height' values to zero.



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			   Live Path Effects                           |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  • Now some suitable LPEs can be applied to clips and masks.
  • Helper lines come again to life.
  • The option to add a bend path directly was added to the pen/pencil shape
    combo box.


Spiro Live
==========
Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFakiI5f0-Y

Based upon Spiro Live Path Effect, now shows the result while drawing.

  • Cusp nodes can be created by holding down the Shift key.
  • When you append a path in cusp and Spiro mode, the helper preview path will
    be displayed.



BSpline
=======
Extended video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwV0DHvA-OE

Pen & Node mode: Uses the BSpline Live Path Effect while creating and
editing paths.

  • Works with Pen and Pencil tool directly.
  • Create cusp nodes by holding down the Shift key (Pen/Bézier tool only).
  • When a path is appended, a preview helper path will also be shown.
  • Hold down Shift key and drag on a handle to change the weight of a bspline
    in node tool.
  • Custom weight steps are applied by holding CTRL down and dragging on a
    handle with the node tool (no Shift key required).
  • Double-click on a handle resets weight to default

Live Path Effect mode: The options in the Live Path Effect dialog give
you full control over bspline paths.

  • Option to set to Default weight (0.3333 times curve segment)
  • Option to make nodes cusp
  • Numeric input for weight
  • Option to set number of Steps with CTRL to quickly snap the weight in node/
    handle editing
  • Apply changes if weight ... applies changes in the widgets to all nodes
    with weight == 0 or weight > 0 or both, for example, retains cusp nodes
    when you change the weight and have unselected "Apply changes if weight ==
    0".
  • Change only selected nodes applies to all other widgets changes.
  • Shows a helper path with the final shape and the generated new nodes.


Roughen
=======
Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=130Dbt0juvY

This path effect is a semi-clone of two extensions, ("add nodes" and
"jitter nodes") and handles units.

The parameters are similar to both extensions and adds a global randomizer.

  • Can be applied to paths, shapes and groups.
  • Can be applied to clips and masks, if they are vector objects.


Simplify
========
Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaWujN_iTSk

Simplifies a vector element using a non-destructive live path effect.

  • Can be used on paths, shapes and groups of these.
  • Can be applied to clips and masks, if they are vector objects
  • The effect's threshold can be modified in the preferences dialog, by
    setting a numeric parameter.
  • Apply Simplify multiple times in the same LPE.

This path effect can optionally be applied directly via the pencil/freehand
drawing tool's tool bar when creating a new path. It then replaces the normal
smoothing (which would be a destructive operation).


Perspective/Envelope
====================
Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjKGatyxTZ8

Both deformations can be applied by specifying 4 points.

  • Two modes, perspective and envelope
  • Can be used on paths, shapes and groups.
  • Also works with vector clips and masks.


Lattice Deformation 2
=====================
Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlK9L88_tWE
Symmetry video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhuVjqFA6ig

  • Deforms an object by 25 handles arranged in a mesh
  • Optionally deforms symmetrically along vertical or horizontal axis or both.
  • Can be applied to paths, shapes and groups.
  • Also works on vector clips and masks.


Show Handles
============
Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9ul_PR9XYo

An LPE version of the Show Handles extension.

  • Works on paths, shapes and groups.
  • Works on clones.
  • Node and Handle shapes are resizeable
  • If not applied to a clone, this is a destructive LPE, it does not save
    styles, better work on a copy!


Transform by two points
=======================
Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLmYdWoXXIw
Extended video (Elastic rubber): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOWTeZC_LjM

Transforms an element by two control points (e.g. moving, skewing, resizing and
rotation). You can position the control points on the bounding box edge
midpoints or by the index of the nodes of the original path. Thanks to Ivan
Louette for the idea for this effect!

  • Works on paths, shapes. With groups you have limited features constrained
    to bounding box.
  • Allows snapping of both control points.
  • Allows to fix angle or distance.
  • Elastic mode to simulate a rubber band path.
  • Two bounding box edge midpoints can be used as control points if 'From
    original width' is active.


Rotate copies
=============
Extended video (partial fuse path): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpI8gRbkTu4
Extended video (live editing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBQpvfgT4mE
Extended video (kaleidoscope): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfMixSKy3Eo

Arranges identical elements dynamically on an arc or circle.

  • Works on paths, shapes and groups of paths.
  • Allows to fuse the result to create kaleidoscope-like effects
  • Allows to arrange the copies on an arc when the 360° copies checkbox is not
    checked.
  • Live editing.


Mirror Symmetry
===============
Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1sj4AeU3Yo

Mirrors an item dynamically.

  • Works on paths, shapes and groups.
  • Allows to fuse the result.
  • Different mirror lines: Free, bounding box center X, bounding box center Y,
    Document center X, Document center Y.


Attach Path
===========
Connect a path to another path (optionally at each end), by attaching it to a
specified location on the other path (specified as in <node number>.<fraction
of segment length>, or by dragging a handle).

The connecting curve segment can be shaped with handles, or by entering a
number.

This LPE makes it possible for the first time to have 'crossings' between paths
that move with the path when it is modified, which isn't possible within the
SVG specification.


Bounding Box
============
An arbitrary path can be used to serve as a bounding box rectangle for the path
that is linked. It will follow all transformations of the linked path. This
can, for example, be used to provide a background for exporting as png.


Ellipse by 5 Points
===================
An ellipse will be constructed, whose circumference will go through each of the
nodes of a 5-node path.


Fill between Many
=================
Adds a fill to a collection of independent open paths, connecting their ends
with straight lines.

  • The LPE is applied to one path (which will be converted into the fill, and
    serves as a 'container' for the effect).
  • The other paths, which are part of the drawing, can then be added to it by
    copy-pasting in the LPE dialog.
  • The order in which the paths are filled can be changed, and the direction
    can be reversed for each path independently.

Now it is possible to apply the kind of path effects which only work on a path
without subpaths (PowerStroke, Taper Stroke, ...) to the single paths (see
image for an example).


Fill between Strokes
====================
Similar to 'Fill between Many', but can only be used on two open paths, to fill
them seamlessly.

  • Requires a 'container' path, which will turn into the fill after the first
    path has been added to the LPE.
  • Connects one couple of path ends with a stroke, if the path that functions
    as a container has a stroke set.
  • Can also be used to apply a duplicate stroke.


Interpolate Points
==================
This LPE redraws all path segments, using one of the following interpolation
methods:

  • Centripetal Catmull-Rom
  • CubicBezierFit
  • CubicBezierJohan
  • Linear
  • SpiroInterpolator


Join Type
=========
The LPE allows you to set the type of connection to be used on cusp nodes and
path end caps.

  • Available join types:
      □ Beveled
      □ Extrapolated Arc
      □ Extrapolated Arc Alt1
      □ Extrapolated Arc Alt2
      □ Extrapolated Arc Alt3
      □ Miter
      □ Miter Clip
      □ Rounded
  • Available end cap types:
      □ Butt
      □ Peak
      □ Rounded
      □ Square
  • Set Miter limit
  • Set stroke width


Taper Stroke
============
Draw tapered strokes with different settings for open paths without subpaths.

  • Change width of stroke ends with handles on both ends, or by entering
    offset numerically
  • Different amounts of rounding can be applied
  • Stroke width can be changed
  • Join type for cusp nodes can be selected:
      □ Beveled
      □ Extrapolated
      □ Miter
      □ Rounded


Pen / Bézier tool
=================
  • New shortcut to automatically close a path when it is being drawn: Shift +
    Enter


Spray tool
==========
Extended video 1 (No overlap): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uehj4ATOWos
Extended video 2 (No overlap multiple items): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eTG2U3qlb4
Extended video 3 (Over visible, pick color): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTdKu7mAZE8
Extended video 4 (Pressure): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWdQnxd_z30
Extended video 5 (Trace -clones- dialog): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn3vzf-yA_w

  • New eraser mode
  • More pressure toggles added
  • "No overlap" option with optional multiple elements
  • "No overlap" option between different background colors
  • Configurable offset for overlaps
  • Color picker from center or average area
  • Apply picked color to fill
  • Apply picked color to stroke
  • Invert picked colors
  • Spray over transparent background areas
  • Spray over non-transparent background areas
  • Makes use of "Trace the drawing" options from Tiled Clones dialog


Measure tool
============
Extended video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE0cVDGCzbM

  • Measure is kept until a new one is made (only visible when using measure
    tool)
  • Repositioning of origin/end
  • Convert to object
  • Convert to guides
  • Add just the distance measurement, consisting of editable text and a line
    indicating start and end
  • Display a 'phantom measurement' temporarily to be able to compare two
    measurements
  • Reverse origin/end
  • Measure global
  • Measure only current layer
  • Change precision


Gradient tool
=============
  • To accomodate for keyboards that do not have an Insert key, the keyboard
    combination Shift+I can now also be used to insert a new stop into a
    gradient.


Align and Distribute
====================
  • NEW: drop-down chooser with options to align nodes relative to each other
    in node editing mode.


+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			    Import / Export                            |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Export PDF / EPS / PS
=====================
  • The default PostScript level for exporting from the command line changes
    from 2 to 3 (consistent with the user interface PS exporter which defaults
    to level 3). Level 3 is required for gradient support.

Export Optimized SVG
====================
  • Completely redesigned settings dialog
  • Starting with version 0.92, Inkscape uses the Scour version installed on
    the system (e.g. via "pip install scour") instead of a bundled version so
    you can always profit from the latest improvements
  • A lot of new features and fixes in the Scour module itself, check out the
    release notes (Scour 0.26 from 2011-05-09 was the version that has been
    bundled with Inkscape 0.91)

Export to PNG
=============
  • PNG file extension is now enforced, to prevent exporting with invalid /
    misleading file extensions.



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			       Extensions                              |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

New
===
  • Render > Seamless Pattern (Screencast)
  • Images > Set Image Attributes (Bug #1357808, can be used to fix the scaling
    problem of raster images in SVGs created with previous Inkscape
    versions)
  • Render > NiceCharts (github repo, not maintained)
  • Arrange > Deep Ungroup (Bug #171117)


Plotter Driver
==============
Multiple Pens: The Plotter driver (Extensions -> Export -> Plot) can now
handle multiple pens to create colorful drawings on Pen Plotters:

  • Create a layer for every pen to use and move the corresponding drawings
    into it
  • Name the layer with a title like "Pen 1" or "MyLayerName Pen 1", where the
    number corresponds to the pen number the plotter should use
  • The layer name always overrides the standard pen setting in the plot menu

Serial Connection: The connection settings now allow you to specify
rarely used serial connection settings like byte size, stop bits and
parity. Most plotters use the default settings, so only change these if
you know what you are doing.


HPGL Export
===========
The HPGL export (File -> Save as -> HP Grafics Language file) has now the same
multiple pens feature as the #Plotter Driver.


HPGL Import
===========
The HPGL import (File -> Open -> Select .hpgl file) can now import multiple
pens into corresponding layers, see #Plotter Driver for more information.


PDF Import
==========
The image 'interpolate' value is now used to determine how to display bitmaps
(interpolated or blocky).


Miscellaneous Improvements
==========================
  • Arrange > Restack has new options to reverse and shuffle the z-order of
    selected objects.
  • Render > Random Tree has new option to omit redundant segments.
  • Visualize Path > Measure Path has additional text layout options.
  • Render > Barcode was updated with new EAN2 code and extended EAN13 with
    automatic EAN2 and EAN5 additions
  • Color > Randomize now allows to set the range for randomization, and (with
    some limits) can now also randomize opacity
  • Modify Path > Jitter nodes was partially rewritten and now also supports
    Pareto and Log-Normal distributions.


Extension Development
=====================
  • It is now possible for an extension to retrieve a list of selected nodes
    (See Bug #171287 for an example extension).


+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			 Filters / Blend Modes                         |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

New Filters
===========
  • Color > Color Blindness filter allows to simulate different color blindness
    conditions.


New Blend Modes
===============
Blend Modes can now be applied to single objects as well as to layers.

In addition to the previously available modes 'Multiply', 'Screen', 'Darken'
and 'Lighten', the following modes are now available:

  • Overlay
  • Color Dodge
  • Color Burn
  • Hard Light
  • Soft Light
  • Difference
  • Exclusion
  • Hue
  • Saturation
  • Color
  • Luminosity



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			     Other dialogs                             |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Document Properties: Licences
=============================
All selectable licences have been updated to most current version.


Filter Editor
=============
Filter list now displays how often a filter is used.


+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|				 Menus                                 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  • 'Resize page to selection' added to Edit menu, shortcut: Shift+Ctrl+R
  • 'Pop selection out of group' available in context menu of objects which are
    part of a group, when the group has been entered, and via the 'Objects'
    menu. It will move the object up by one level in the grouping hierarchy.
  • 'Create Clip Group' from context menu groups the selected objects and clips
    that group with a clone of itself. This allows for quick creation of, for
    example, inset shadows.



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			  Other user interface                         |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Node Snapping
=============
Snapping in the node tool has been improved:

  • When double clicking to insert new nodes, the position of these new nodes
    will snap to for example path intersections and to path-guide intersections
  • When grabbing a segment of a path and dragging it to deform it, the pointer
    will now snap


Checkerboard Background
=======================
It is now possible to use a checkerboard background when editing. This allows
one to clearly see the transparency of objects.


View Box
========
One can now set the SVG 'viewBox' attribute from the GUI. This attribute sets
the scale of the drawing by determining the real-world value of the SVG user
unit (pixel size).


Lock Guides
===========
Now guides can be locked and unlocked globally or individually.


Panning
=======
Panning with space bar can now be deactivated in the Preferences (uncheck
Behavior > Scrolling > Mouse Move pans when Space is pressed).



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			      SVG and CSS                              |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  • The 'marker-orientation' property now recognizes units ('deg', 'rad',
    'grad' and 'turn').
  • The new SVG 2 'context-fill' and 'context-stroke' properties are
    implemented which allows the auto-matching of arrowhead fill color to path
    stroke color.
  • The new SVG 2 marker orientation attribute value 'auto-start-reverse' is
    implemented. This allows one arrow marker to be used for both ends of a
    path.
  • The new CSS 3 'mix-blend-mode' and 'isolation' properties are implemented,
    allowing setting the blend mode between objects without using filters.
  • The new SVG 2 'paint-order' property is now supported. This allows setting
    the order in which the fill, stroke, and markers are drawn (buttons will be
    available in the Fill and Stroke dialog).
  • The new SVG 2 'mesh' paint server is supported, including bicubic
    auto-smoothing. A primitive GUI is available.
  • The SVG 1.1 'text-decoration' property is now rendered (underlines, strike
    through, etc.). CSS 3 'text-decoration' properties are also rendered.
  • The new SVG 2 'hatch' paint server is now supported.
  • The CSS 'white-space' property is now supported. Use of this property was
    added in SVG 2 to replace the now deprecated 'xml:space' attribute.
  • The SVG 1.1 'textLength" and 'textAdjust' attributes are implemented,
    however, there is no GUI for these attributes.
  • Rendering of the Component Transfer filter primitive has been corrected.
  • Units are now recognized in the text and tspan 'x', 'y', 'dx', and 'dy'
    attributes.
  • Percentage values are now interpreted correctly for shapes.

New SVG 2 and CSS 3 features are generally not enabled in the GUI until
widespread support in browsers.


+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			    New dependencies                           |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  • The Paintbucket and Trace Bitmap tools now use an external copy of the
    Potrace library, which is available in many Linux distributions or can be
    obtained from http://potrace.sourceforge.net
  • Export to Optimized SVG now depends upon an external copy of the Scour
    python module, which can be obtained via pip (pip install scour), package
    management (version may be outdated) or from the scour project github site.
    For Windows versions, the module is included.



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			      Translations                             |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

New UI translations for Assamese, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Icelandic,
Kannada, Kashmiri (Perso-Arabic and Devanagari), Konkani (Latin and Devanagari
scripts), Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri (Meetei Mayek and Bengali scripts),
Marathi, Odia, Santali (Devanagari and Ol-Chiki scripts), Sanskrit, Sindhi,
Tamil, Urdu (Perso-Arabic and Devanagari scripts).

Many other translations have been updated and improved.



+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|			    Notable Bugfixes                           |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  • Severe performance issues on MS Windows, 64bit Inkscape builds on
    systems with Intel graphic cards (hiding the rulers was a workaround

  • Text tool: Fails to set new default font family (bug #1227232)

  • Filter effects and blur quality options broken (bug #1512729) (To get the

Many other crashes, memory leaks and lots of little things have also
been fixed. For an exhaustive list of bugs that have been fixed, please
see the milestones page for Inkscape 0.92 and the milestones page for
the (not released) Inkscape version 0.91.1.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  • Fonts that are loaded by font managing software on Windows are not
    available for selection in Inkscape (bug #1416674)
  • Dialogs that have been minimized do not open again until their icon in the
    dock is clicked on (bug #1270295, will be fixed in 0.93)
  • The opacity indicator isn't initialized correctly (0% opacity even when the
    object is fully opaque, bug #1463078, will be fixed in 0.93)
  • For some texts, the line height that is used for displaying the text in
    0.91 doesn't correspond to the one that is used in 0.92, so line height is
    larger than it should be (as a workaround, there is an extension available
    that can fix those texts).
