*** Inkscape 0.43 ***
In brief
The focus of this release is on the exciting new features sponsored
by Google via their Summer of Code program. However, we have quite a
bunch of other stuff too. Here are the highlights:
* Connectors: A new Connector tool implements creation, editing,
and autorouting (object-avoiding) of connector lines between
objects. Indispensable for diagramming. (A Google SoC project.)
* Inkboard collaborative editing: You can now connect to other
Inkscape users over the Net and edit a shared document together,
watching others' changes and making yours! (A Google SoC project.)
* Pressure and tilt sensitivity: the Calligraphy tool can now
use a tablet pen with pressure/tilt support to vary the width and
angle of the calligraphic stroke.
* Better node editing: You can freely drag/bend/stretch a Bezier
curve by any point (not only by a node), as well as add a new node
at any point on the curve.
* New extensions for envelope distortion, whirling, and adding
nodes.
* Improved precision, expanded limits, many usability
improvements and bugfixes.
Tavmjong Bah has updated his online book, A Guide to Inkscape, to
cover the Inkscape 0.43 features. This guide is not included with
the Inkscape release. Users are encouraged to read the guide in
addition to these release notes and the help included with Inkscape.
