Report by contractor Daniel Boles on GTK4 migration work done in August 2023.

Tav's July report for the Gtk4 migration project.

With version 1.3 of Inkscape, you’ll find improved performance, several new features, and a solid set of improvements to a few existing ones.

This version is squarely focused on helping users get organized and work more efficiently with our free and open source vector-editing software.

A week with The GIMP project at Blender HQ, Amsterdam

I was really excited to have the opportunity to meet some of the GIMP developers in-person after many conversations with them over IRC in the past, and Wilberweek presented not only a great opportunity to do just that, but also to visit the Headquarters of another of my favourite FOSS projects, the unstoppable freedom-centric software juggernaut that is the Blender project.

From shapes and patterns to documents and fonts, Inkscape’s 1.3  beta release offers you some new features, alongside a basket full of improvements large and small. Let’s dig into a few of the bells and whistles this new version has to offer.
