+Inkscape 0.92
+
+(definitely not released yet - AnnouncePlanning092)
+
+Release highlights
+
+Released on ≪YYYY-MM-DD≫.
+
+Manipulating Objects
+
+Objects Dialog
+
+New dialog for manipulating the object tree.
+
+* Drag and drop reordering of objects.
+* Find, lock, and hide individual items.
+* Shows individual objects as well as layers.
+* Ability to change highlight color of objects.
+* Ability to set blend mode per object.
+
+Imported from Ponyscape.
+
+Selection Sets Dialog
+
+New dialog that allows the creation of selection sets that are not affected by
+document structure.
+
+Text
+
+Font Features
+
+It is now possible to take advantage of OpenType tables to select alternative
+glyphs from a font. 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.
+
+Live Path Effects
+
+Now some suitable LPE's are applied to clips and mask.
+Helper lines come again to live
+Added to pen/pencil shape combo box the option to add a bend path directly
+

+
+* Set to Default weight (0.3333 time of his curve segment).
+* Make cusp nodes.
+* Numeric input for weight.
+* Steps with CONTROL snaps in node/handle editing.
+* Ignore cusp nodes, affect to all other widgets changes and, for example, 
+  retain cusp nodes when you change the power.
+* Change only selected nodes, affect to all other widgets changes.
+* Show a helper path with the final shape and the generated new nodes.

+  in node editing mode.
+
+File Format Support

+
+Extensions
+
+New
+
+* Render > Seamless Pattern (Screencast)
+* Images > Set Image Attributes (Bug #1357808)
+* Render > NiceCharts (github repo, not maintained
+
+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.
+
+Extension Development
+
+* It is now possible for an extension to retrieve a list of selected nodes
+    (Bug #171287).
+
+Filters
+
+New
+
+* Color > Color Blindness filter allows to simulate different color blindness
+    conditions.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+* 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
+
