Inkscape 1.1 Open-Source SVG Editor Release.
♞ Coming up on runboxing ♞
The open-source, free, and cross-platform Inkscape SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) editor
has been updated to version 1.1 as the first major point release in the 1.x series.
Coming more than a year after Inkscape 1.0, the Inkscape 1.1 release is here to introduce
lots of goodies, starting with a new and fancy Welcome dialog that you can use to fully customize
your Inkscape experience by choosing things like the size of the document you want to
create, canvas colors, color modes, keyboard shortcut styles, theme sets, and much more.
Also new is the Command Palette feature that lets you search and use through various functions
without relying on menus or keyboard shortcuts. Talking about search, Inkscape 1.1 makes it
easier to search preferences when you quickly want to change various settings thanks to
the newly integrated search bar.
Furthermore, the new Inkscape release comes with a revamped Dialog Docking System that
now lets you dock dialog boxes on either side of your workspace as tabs, which will automatically
turn into icons when there are several tabs open. In addition, it’s possible to combine
your favorite tabs, close them with the middle mouse click, or toggle all dialogs at once
using the F12 key.
Among other exciting changes, Inkscape 1.1 adds a new Outline Overlay mode that may come
in handy when you work with drawings that have multiple layers, adds support for exporting
to JPG, WebP, TIFF, or Optimized PNG, and makes it possible to split an object into
two or more parts using the new path effect without destroying the original object.
Various improvements were also brought to the Calligraphy tool, which now updates connection
lines in real time, the Node tool, which now lets you copy, cut and paste a selection of
nodes, the Pen and Pencil tool, which now features a new “Scale” option for setting
the width of a path, as well as the Lasso/Rubberband selection tool, which now features a new selection
mode that helps you select every object within the box.
Last but not least, Inkscape’s About dialog has been revamped in this release with a bigger
window and a tabbed interface that makes it easier to send feedback or to copy the version
and debugging info with a single mouse click. Of course, there are many bugs fixed, especially
around Live Path Effects, and there’s an experimental Extension Manager for updating
and installing extensions, so make sure you also check out the release notes for more
details.
Meanwhile, you can download Inkscape 1.1 right now from the official website as universal
AppImage or Snap binary formats that can be installed on virtually any GNU/Linux distribution,
as well as a PPA for Ubuntu-based distributions.
