Inkscape 1.0 Released
<div><p>First launched in 2003, the open source cross platform vector graphics application Inkscape just hit the major 1.0 milestone! Inkscape is open source with the source code <a href="https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/tree/master">available on GitLab</a>. Details of the release from the <a href="https://inkscape.org/news/2020/05/04/introducing-inkscape-10/">Inkscape news page</a>:</p>
<blockquote readability="39.340828402367">
<p>After a little over three years in development, the team is excited to launch the long awaited <a href="https://inkscape.org/release/">Inkscape 1.0</a> into the world.</p>
<p>Built with <a href="https://inkscape.org/news/2020/05/04/roots-and-shoots-inkscape-project/"><strong>the power of a team of volunteers</strong></a>, this open source vector editor represents the work of many hearts and hands from around the world, ensuring that Inkscape remains available free for everyone to download and enjoy.</p>
<p>In fact, <a href="https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Release_notes/1.0#Translations_.5Bas_of_2019-12-18.5D">translations for over 20 languages were updated</a> for version 1.0, making the software more accessible to people from all over the world.</p>
<p>A major milestone was achieved in enabling Inkscape to use a more recent version of the software used to build the editor’s user interface (namely GTK+3). Users with HiDPI (high resolution) screens can thank teamwork that took place during the 2018 <a href="https://inkscape.org/en/news/2018/05/22/2018-boston-inkscape-hackfest/">Boston Hackfest</a> for setting the updated-GTK wheels in motion.</p>
<h5>Smoother performance & first native macOS application</h5>
<p>This latest version is available <strong>for Linux, Windows and macOS</strong>. All macOS users will notice that this latest version is labelled as ‘preview’, which means that additional improvements are scheduled for the next versions. Overall, 1.0 delivers a smoother, higher performance experience on Linux and Windows, and a better system integration (no more XQuartz!) on macOS.</p>
<h5>So many new bells and whistles</h5>
<p>One of the first things users will notice is a <strong>reorganized tool box</strong>, with a more logical order. There are many <strong>new and improved Live Path Effect (LPE)</strong> features. The new <strong>searchable LPE selection dialog</strong> now features a very polished interface, descriptions and even the possibility of marking favorite LPEs. <strong>Performance improvements</strong> are most noticeable when editing node-heavy objects, using the Objects dialog, and when grouping/ungrouping.</p>

<p>You may encounter some challenges downloading today. I was unable to download the Win64 version, but the 32bit version worked fine. Hopefully these download issues are fixed soon. You can learn more in the <a href="https://youtu.be/Bllr8imjUVo">video</a> below.</p>
