Versie 1.4.2 van Inkscape is uitgebracht. Dit opensource- en crossplatformprogramma 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. Uitgebreide informatie over de veranderingen en verbeteringen die in versie 1.4 zijn aangebracht, kunnen op deze pagina worden gevonden; dit zijn de release notes voor versie 1.4.2:
Inkscape 1.4.2 is out!The first minor release since Inkscape 1.4 is here! No worries, you didn't miss 1.4.1! Due to a signficant bug that was only discovered shortly before its planned release, 1.4.1 has been merged with 1.4.2. With lots of fixes, some smaller improvements and even a few new features around file format support, we believe it was well worth the wait. Here's a summary of what to expect from the new release:
- A new splash screen, providing a visual cue while Inkscape loads in the background
- Initial support for importing Vectornator / Linearity Curve files
- A new extension to Clean up Paths
- Substantially improved Affinity Designer files (.afdesign) import
- 20 crash/freeze fixes, many of which affected PDF import
- more than 50 other bug fixes and small improvements, including improvements to Boolean operations, layer selection, minimal window width and restoration of Spray tool buttons' functionality
- and 15 updated translations!
