Versie 0.92.4 van Inkscape uitgebracht. Dit opensource- en cross-platformprogramma is bedoeld voor het bewerken van vectorafbeeldingen. Het vertoont overeenkomsten met programma's als Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Freehand en Xara X, maar het grote verschil is dat Inkscape met Scalable Vector Graphics werkt, een door het W3C ontwikkelde open standaard. De implementatie van SVG is overigens incompleet. Naast 0.92.4 is ook een vroege testversie van Inkscape 1.0 verschenen. Meer over die versie kan hier worden gevonden. De belangrijkste verbeteringen voor versies 0.92.4 en 1.0 apha zijn hieronder voor je op een rijtje gezet.
