When the option is enabled, it will also be used for Text → Flow into frame. This type of text can be created by clicking and dragging a box on canvas, if the option 'Use SVG 2 auto-flowed text' is enabled in the Text tool's preferences. SVG 2 text using the CSS shape-inside property: This new flowed text automatically includes a fallback option (in SVG 1.1), and will show up in web browsers and other software.Now, Inkscape offers to use two new types of flowed text, that have a compatible fallback for use with modern web browsers: The old flowed text can still be enabled by unchecking Edit → Preferences → Tools → Text: Use SVG2 auto-flowed text. With Text → Flow into Frame, text now flows into the selected frames in selection order (instead of reversed order previously).įlowed text (created by clicking and dragging a text frame) in previous Inkscape versions was not compatible with browsers, and rendered as 'black boxes' in web browsers and other SVG viewers, or was just missing. The old behavior can be reactivated in the preferences, at Edit → Preferences → Interface (disable 'Origin in upper left with y-axis pointing down'). This finally makes the coordinates that a user can see in the interface match the ones that are saved in the SVG data (unit conversions/transformations may be required), and makes working in Inkscape more comfortable for people who are used to this more standard behavior. It sets the origin of the document to the top left corner of the page. This change was made, because scrolling docked dialogs easily led to accidental change of values.Īdditionally, Ctrl + Scroll on a selected numeric entry field will now change the value in larger steps.ĭuring the Inkscape Hackfest in Kiel, a significant change by Thomas Holder was integrated into the Inkscape codebase. Then scrolling will change the value as previously. They now need to be selected (clicked into). Many numeric entry fields no longer change their value when scrolling while the mouse is hovering over them. It comes bundled with Python 3 to power Inkscape extensions. The build is now cleanly 64-bit, a prerequisite for macOS Catalina 10.15 and beyond. Retina display screen resolution is now supported. Keyboard shortcuts now use the command ( ⌘) key rather than the control key. It has a standard Mac-style menu bar (rather than a menu bar within the window). The minimum required operating system version is OS X El Capitan 10.11. Inkscape is now a first-rate native macOS application, and no longer requires XQuartz to operate. Speed boost to operations on large sets of objects in the Objects dialog (Issue #392).Faster grouping and ungrouping of groups with a large number of objects.Accelerated "deselect" speed (by improving internal data structure algorithms).Accelerated breaking apart of paths and Boolean operations (by disabling intermittent canvas rendering during these operations).Lots of small performance improvements in various areas combine to make Inkscape run smoother than before: Extensions programming interface updated, with many new options - Note: this introduces breaking changes, some third-party extensions will have to be updated to work with Inkscape 1.0.Variable fonts support (only if compiled with pango library version >= 1.41.1).Much improved text line-height settings.Path operations, deselection of a large number of paths as well as grouping/ungrouping are much faster now.New Corners (Fillet/chamfer) LPE, (lossless) Boolean Operation LPE (experimental), Offset LPE and Measure Segments LPE (and more!).New Live Path Effect (LPE) selection dialog.Integrated centerline tracing for vectorizing line drawings.PowerPencil for drawing editable, variable width strokes with a pressure sensitive graphics tablet.Coordinate origin in top left corner by default.Native support for macOS with a signed and notarized.Better HiDPI (high resolution) screen support.Theming support and more new customization options.
