Information about trunk:
========================
Since the package is based on trunk (development branch, HEAD), here a
few links related to its status and to known issues:
Release notes for 0.91, contains summary of the major changes
since the release of the stable series 0.48.x:
<http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.91>
Release notes for 0.92 (Draft, not very detailed yet), contains summary
of major changes for future releases based on the next series 0.92.x:

Bug reporting:
==============
If you encounter regressions with the OS X builds which seem unrelated
to packaging and are not among those already reported, please consider
filing a report in the bug tracker - please don't forget to provide
information about which package was used (branch name and revision
number is helpful for bug triage) when the bug occurred ;-)
<https://launchpad.net/inkscape>
If you encounter issues which are likely related to packaging (e.g. with
the menu bar, keyboard shortcuts, extensions failing to work, etc.) -
please report them directly to me for now. A short list of known issues
and missing features is listed on the branch page, but there are
certainly countless others.
Exchange of data with other native apps via clipboard doesn't work as
seamlessly as with earlier RC packages of Inkscape 0.48.4 discussed on
the developer's mailing list because the GTK+ stack used for the package
is not patched (this ought to be fixed upstream first).
A few details about the package:
================================
Settings
--------
The application packages based on current osxmenu branch store the
settings here:
"$HOME/Library/Application Support/org.inkscape.Inkscape/"
and cache files here:
"$HOME/Library/Caches/org.inkscape.Inkscape/"
If you want to reset the preferences, quit Inkscape and rename or delete
the two folders.
Fonts
-----
The package is currently configured to load fonts from
/System/Library/Fonts/
/Network/Library/Fonts/
/Library/Fonts/
and
$HOME/Library/Fonts/
$HOME/.fonts/
You can add additional directories by editing this file:
"$HOME/Library/Application Support/org.inkscape.Inkscape/fontconfig/fonts.conf"
(the format should be self-explanatory)
Default font (sans-serif)
-------------------------
Current settings differ from Inkscape 0.48.x - the list of fallbacks for
the generic 'sans-serif' font has been modified to match what
(presumably) browsers on OS X use:
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Helvetica</family>
<family>Arial</family>
<family>Lucida Grande</family>
<family>Verdana</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
This has the side-effect that SVG files with text likely render
differently in the osxmenu-based package compared to Inkscape 0.48.2
(X11) and earlier 0.48.4 RC packages (Quartz). I'm not sure what
would be the better default... (same in Inkscape independent of
platform/packaging, or same as in other SVG viewers on the
specific platform).
Theme
-----
The default theme right now was changed on user request to a dark theme
with symbolic icons. The theme can be changed via custom extension, installed
as 'Extensions > Inkscape on OS X > Change theme ...'.
NOTE: custom theme is temporaily disabled with newest packages.
Command-line support
--------------------
Command-line support (e.g. for use in scripts or makefiles) should have
improved: relative paths to input and output files now work, and the
script can be called via alias or even as symlink.
Basic usage in the terminal:
$ /path/to/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/inkscape -V
Debugging
---------
The current package does not contain debug symbols (backtraces are of
limited use). To run the main binary via debugger none-the-less (if you
have Xcode and CLT installed), use these steps:
$ # on Mavericks
$ export INK_DEBUG=lldb
$ /path/to/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/inkscape
then at the lldb prompt, type 'r' to run the app, and 'bt' to create a
backtrace (after a crash).
Extensions
----------
Included helper apps: ps2pdf, UniConvertor 1.1.5, pstoedit, convert
(ImageMagick).
The package also includes a couple of custom extensions (for testing
purposes) which are not part of a default Inkscape installation.
Experimental SVG features
-------------------------
The builds offered for download have all experimental features enabled:
- unstable (and buggy) experimental LPEs (in parts they are old, and
unmaintained)
- mesh gradient tool (no documentation available for basic usage)
- CSS blend and compositing modes: <http://tavmjong.free.fr/blog/?p=1016>
- SVG2 paint-order: <http://tavmjong.free.fr/blog/?p=1090>
Note that experimental SVG(2) features are likely to only work on-canvas
and for bitmap export, and not for cairo-based export formats like
PDF/PS/EPS. Don't expect them to be supported by other SVG renderers either.
Note that these features will not be enabled in stable release packages
(unless they are no longer considered experimental).
