Inkscape
notable performance improvements for filter rendering, measure tool, saving and moving paths (with a live path effect) and includes a couple of small, but impactful usage improvements.
Important changes
This Inkscape version will not work with Windows XP / Vista anymore. Inkscape 0.92.3 is the last supported version on those OSs.
The Inkscape project has opened a new, user-facing bug tracker on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues/ . Please use this new tracker to report issues that occur with Inkscape 0.92.4 and with development builds.
Improvements
Align and Distribute
You can now align multiple (ungrouped) objects as a group relative to another, single object.
This makes "treat selection as group" useful with the selections "Last selected / First selected / Biggest object / Smallest object" in which case all elements will be moved as a group relative to the "focused" element which will be kept fixed.
Example aligning multiple (ungrouped) objects to first selected object:
Color sliders
The movement of the color sliders can now be constrained by holding the "Ctrl" key while dragging.
(step size is 16 if the max value is 255, and 10 if the max is 100)
Extensions
- Previously, the current selection was lost after running an extension. Now, whenever possible, Inkscape will try to keep the objects selected.
- Extensions developers can again rely on the order of inkex.Effect.selected.iteritems() reflecting the user's selection order properly.
- Extensions work faster now in documents consisting of a large number of objects.
Automated Graphics Processing
Inkscape is now able to read and write pipes. You can use this to process data without using temporary files.
You can read from standard input:
