While some of the new features simply fill long-standing functionality gaps, others are truly revolutionary. Inkscape 0.42 is one step closer to full SVG compliance. This release adds:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flowed Text: Text objects that automatically re-flow to any shape (and not just a rectangle).<\/li>\n<li>Text Selection: One can now select part of a text and apply any style to the selection, just like in a word processing application.<\/li>\n<li>Gradient Tool: A completely redesigned and much easier to use on-canvas gradient interface with handles displayed directly in the drawing.<\/li>\n<li>Effects: These are now usable from within Inkscape on all platforms. This version ships with a collection of effects including path interpolation, randomization, and various fractal algorithms.<\/li>\n<li>Color Swatches: This standard facility of most graphics software is now a part of Inkscape.<\/li>\n<li>Colored Clones: Clones may now be painted differently from their original.<\/li>\n<li>Tile Tracing: The Tile Clones dialog can trace an existing image with tiling, producing a multitude of exciting effects.<\/li>\n<li>Grid Arrange, Baseline Align, Unclumping: There are new, powerful ways to arrange objects.<\/li>\n<li>Better PS\/EPS Export: PostScript level 3 gradient support, better text handling, and a command line option for batch export are in this release.<\/li>\n<li>Command Line SVG Analysis: Inkscape may now be used from the command line to query coordinates and dimensions of objects in an SVG file.<\/li>\n<li>Better SVG\/CSS Compliance: Notably, internal CSS stylesheets are now supported (read-only).<\/li>\n<li>Mac OS X Support: In addition to Linux and Windows, Inkscape 0.42 is now available as a fully self-contained dmg package for Mac OS X.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are also dozens of smaller features and usability enhancements (especially in the Fill &amp; Stroke dialog, Node tool, and drawing tools). In this version the development community closed 404 bugs, some quite serious, and 165 feature requests. Overall, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inkscape.org\/\">Inkscape<\/a> developers are very excited about this release and heartily recommend upgrading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inkscape Announces 0.42 Release :: http:\/\/www.inkscape.org :: Draw Freely.
