Inkscape Announces 0.46 Release :: http://www.inkscape.org :: Draw Freely.

The Inkscape community today is announcing the release of the newest version
of its open source vector graphics editor. Inkscape 0.46 is a major update
that introduces native PDF support. The implementation of PDF support in
Inkscape provides an easy, open source solution to editing PDF documents.

Tons of new features and performance improvements are included in this
release. Dialogs now have the ability to be docked to the editing window.
Gradients can be edited completely on-canvas. The new Paint Bucket Tool
fills bounded areas with color. A new 3D Box tool helps create
perspective-correct drawings. A new Tweak tool provides an intuitive method
for editing paths and painting objects. The new Live Path Effects feature
can create "brushes" and various organic effects on paths. Improvements to
color management include support for color spaces other than sRGB. Most SVG
filters are now implemented, and a new powerful UI is provided for editing
filter stacks.

About Inkscape
Inkscape is an open source drawing tool that uses the World Wide Web
Consortium's (W3C) scalable vector graphics format (SVG). Some supported SVG
features include basic shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending,
transforms, gradients, and grouping. In addition, Inkscape supports Creative
Commons' metadata, node-editing, layers, complex path operations,
text-on-path, text-in-shape, and SVG XML editing. It can also import EPS,
PostScript, and most bitmap formats, and exports PNG, PS, PDF and various
vector formats. Inkscape's main motivation is to provide the Open Source
community with a fully W3C compliant XML, SVG, and CSS2 drawing tool.
Additional work includes conversion of the codebase from C/Gtk to C++/Gtkmm,
emphasizing a lightweight core with powerful features added through an
extension mechanism, and maintaining a friendly, open, community-oriented
development process.
