This work was -done mainly during Google Summer of Code 2010 and 2011 projects. - - • Improved performance. The new renderer is significantly faster on most - drawings. Renderings of the most complex objects are automatically cached - to improve responsiveness during editing. - • OpenMP multithreading for filters. Filters use all available processor - cores for computation. This results in substantial speedups when editing - drawings containing large filtered objects on multi-core systems. - • Substantial memory savings. Inkscape now uses less memory when opening - complex drawings, in some cases using only 25% of the memory used by - Inkscape 0.48. Larger files can now be opened. - • Responsiveness improvements. The rendering of the SVG drawing is now - cached. This results in massive improvements in responsiveness of path - highlights, object selection / deselection, and path editing in delayed - update mode. - • Rendering bug fixes. Most of the rendering glitches in our bug tracker are - no longer present in Inkscape 0.91. The following things now render - correctly: - □ Pattern fills (no more gaps between tiles, regardless of - transformation) - □ Stroke of transformed objects in patterns - □ Patterns containing clipped objects - □ Nested clipping paths - □ Masked and clipped objects with large masks / clipping paths in Outline - view - □ Paths with wide strokes and long miters - □ Fonts - -Color display mode - -A grayscale display color mode has been added, that shows a preview of your -drawing in grayscale.

At present, groups are not - honoured, i.e., only individual items within groups are considered. - • New Find/Replace dialog can operate on text or any attribute - • "Select Same" is a new feature that allows an artist to select objects that - have the same properties as the currently selected object. For example, you - could select an object that has a fill of blue. Then, using the new feature - select all other objects in the drawing with a fill set to that same shade - of blue. +It is now possible to take advantage of OpenType tables to select alternative +glyphs from a font.

The dialog displays symbols from a symbol -library. Inkscape 0.91 includes five example libraries: logic symbols, AIGA/DOT -transportation symbols, map symbols, flow chart shapes and word balloons. The -dialog will also create a pseudo-library of all existing symbols in the current -Inkscape drawing. (A symbol is defined by an SVG <symbol> element.) Symbols can -be dragged from the dialog onto the Inkscape canvas. +Extended video: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFakiI5f0-Y> -Any document with symbols can serve as a source for a symbol library. Simply -copy it to the symbols directory in your configuration directory (typically -share/inkscape). If proper care is taken, symbols can be provided with default -fill and stroke colors that later can be overridden by the user. +Based in Spiro Live Path Effect, now show result while drawing. -Visio Stencil files (.vss) can also be used by dropping them in the same -symbols directory.

Note that this is very much work in progress -and anything can change. I think this is the most efficient place of keeping -track how the powerstroke LPE works. - - • Stroke knots are purple diamonds - • When first applied, 3 stroke knots are added: start, end, and somewhere in - the middle along the path - • Add nodes: Ctrl+click purple knot - • Delete nodes: Ctrl+Alt+click purple knot - • "sort points" reorders the stroke knots according to where they lie along - the path (where they are closest to the path), instead of keeping them in - original order. - • Start and end caps can be specified. The SVG cap types are available, as - well as an extra type, "Zero width", that is identical to adding a width - control knot at the start/end of the path with zero width. - • Join type can be specified. In addition to the SVG join types, there are - two new types: - □ Extrapolated: this extrapolates the contour of the stroked path to - obtain a more natural looking miter join. - □ Extrapolated arc: Mathematical explanation. - □ Spiro: rounds the join using a spiro curve (the rounded type rounds the - curve using an elliptical arc). - -example screenshot - -Clone Original - -The Clone original LPE ignores the path data of the path it has been applied -to; instead, it copies the original-d path data, i.e. the path data before LPE -calculation, from the path linked to by the Linked path parameter. - -The Clone original LPE is made to be used in conjunction with powerstroke. -Powerstroke creates a path with a variable stroke, but this path can then not -be filled (because the fill is used as the stroke). To fill a powerstroked -path, one must create a second path (dummy path), apply the Clone original LPE -and link it to the powerstroked path. Because this second path clones the -original path data before the Powerstroke LPE, it can be used to fill the -powerstroked path. - -To quickly create a dummy path and apply this effect, one can select the path -to 'clone' and click the menu item Edit ▶︎ Clone ▶︎ Clone original path (LPE). - -Like for normal clones, pressing Shift+D, when the selected path has the Clone -original LPE applied, selects the path referred to by the LPE. - -Another very useful ability of the Clone original LPE is to create a clone with -a different style than its referred path. To facilitate this, the LPE dialog -will add the Clone original LPE when a clone is selected and the "+" button is -pressed. +The options in the Live effect dialog give you control on bspline paths. -Filters + • 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 whith the final shape and the generated new nodes. -The new Custom predefined filters allow users to create predefined filters with -custom parameters.

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