    Bug fixes

    General


    Copy-Paste:

    A long-standing, very annoying bug where, when copying an object to the clipboard while also running certain other programs on Linux desktops (mainly clipboard managers), caused multiple export extension dialogs to open, has been fixed, so you can now again use your favorite clipboard manager while also using Inkscape (Commit fe7c68, Bug #575)
    When copy-pasting some items along with their originals/frames/paths (clones, text-on-path, text-in-a-shape, linked offsets), they are no longer displaced in relation to the pasted original (Commit b93f21, Bug #853)
    Stroke to Path: Converting an object's stroke to a path no longer makes its clones vanish (Bug #1120)
    Performance: Improved rendering performance when zooming through multiple zoom levels (Commit 28e21e)
    CSS: CSS classes that start with a letter that isn't part of the ASCII set are no longer ignored (Bug #1094)
    Cleanup: An outdated link that pointed to a potentially offensive website now has been removed from a branding document (Commit 88efa4)
    User interface: Random actions should no longer cause sudden scaling of the canvas (Commit 49fc36)
    Markers: When adding a marker to a line, it can now be removed with a single Undo action again (not two) (Commit 179fe9, Bug #2130)

    Circle Tool:

    Arcs from Inkscape files created with versions older than 1.0 are no longer rendered as slices (Bug #1900)
    When dragging on an ellipse's handles inside the ellipse to create an arc, Inkscape no longer renders it as a closed slice (Commit def938)

    Eraser Tool:

    A long-standing issue with the Eraser tool painting red lines instead of erasing as soon as the user has interacted with a menu or dialog or another user interface element has been fixed (Bug #2068, Commit 2057bf)

    Live Path Effects:

    Fixed some issues with linked LPE item transforms (Commit 546b64, Commit e3cad6)

    Mesh Gradient tool:

    Objects with a mesh gradient now keep their fill when copied to a different document (Bug #579)

    Filter Editor dialog:

    The dialog elements are readable now when using a dark theme (Bug #885)

    Objects dialog:

    The search function in the 'Objects' dialog shows results again (Bug #1736)

    Selectors and CSS dialog:

    In addition to multiple crash fixes (see below), the dialog now correctly recognizes style tags inside the documents defs section (Commit 12f4d6, Bug #905)

    Text:

    A series of related bugs with text objects was fixed (MR #2434).
    All of the affected actions required a text object to behave like a path, but it behaved like a group, and the action failed. This series of bugs mostly affected new users who were following tutorials which did not work as expected.

    Specifically, the following actions now work again:

    A text object unioned with itself results in a single path again.
    Text objects can again be used with other objects in all Boolean operations.
    Text objects can again be inset and outset.
    Text objects can again be used to create a Dynamic Offset or a Linked Offset.
    The font preview sample now contains the correct currency symbols €¢ (instead of 342202254302242). One needs to reset the preferences to see the updated font sample text (MR #2547).
    Custom font folders are found now and taken into account, even when the installed Pango version is newer than 1.44.7 (Bug #1977, Commit 1771fa)

    Crash fixes:

    A variety of crashes have been fixed for this current bugfix release.
    Specifically, we fixed a crash …
    … when drawing with the Calligraphy tool inside a group with the 'Rotate copies' live path effect (and possibly when adding items to groups with a different path effect applied to them) (Commit b62cd9, MR #2386)
    … when duplicating a text that had lost the frame it was flowed in (Bug #1919)
    … that happened randomly when using undo / redo (Commit 3cb09a)
    … when importing an SVGZ file by drag-and-drop (Commit b8e782, Bug #906)
    … that occurred sporadically when closing Inkscape (Bug #1918, Commit 275d15)
    … when popping an object out of its current group (Commit a803b1, Bug #1770)
    … or, actually, multiple different crashes occuring with the Selectors and CSS dialog on Redo, Undo and Clone actions, as well as on closing the document and when having a duplicate window open (Commit 12f4d6, Bugs #142, #828, #1168, #1157, #688)
    … with the Clone LPE (Commit e3cad6)
    … when trying to export to PDF when there are markers included in the document whose color is defined by context-stroke (like Inkscape stock markers) (Bug #1984, Commit 9b5de7)
    … / a freeze that occured when importing a PDF file with many icc color spaces defined (Bug #1878, Commit 5c1048)
    … when trying to import a PDF file with Poppler version 21.0.1 (Commit c30ae8, Bug #2180)
    … when starting Inkscape compiled with musl instead of glibc (affecting certain Linux distributions e.g. VoidLinux, Alpine, Gentoo) (Commit #a32669, Bug #2147)

    Extension bug fixes:

    Specific extensions:

    A few label texts were improved in the new "Scribus PDF Export" extension (MR #226)
    The preview works again for the "Interpolate" extension (Bug #303)

    Extension failure fixes:

    "Change case" extension works again (Bug #302)
    "Interpolate attribute in a group" extension works again (Bug #310)

Der Java-Diagrammzeichner yEd Graph Editor erstellt Diagramme und Schemazeichnungen wie Ablauf- und Netzwerkpläne oder UML-Diagramme. Die fertigen Grafiken exportiert die Anwendung als Pixelbilder und in die gängigen Vektorformate EPS, PDF sowie den W3C-Standard SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).

Eine Stärke des Zeichenprogramms liegt in seinem Talent zum automatischen Layout etwa von Bäumen oder anderen hierarchischen Graphen; auch ungewöhnliche Anordnungen wie „organisch“ oder „kreisförmig“ gehören zum Repertoire.

Freeware

Changelog

    General:

    The JREs that come with the Windows, macOS, and Linux installers have been updated to OpenJDK 15.0.2.

    New Features:

    Added node types as an additional optimization criterion to major layout algorithms. Nodes of the same type are more likely to be placed next to each other.
    Added new clustering implementations for the organic layout algorithm.

    Improvements:

    Improved edge routing for the orthogonal/polyline edge routing algorithm. The algorithm now tries to preserve existing orthogonal routes as much as possible.

    Bugfixes:

    Fixed problems with native file chooser dialogs on Windows.
    Fixed regression that prevented layout algorithms to properly connect edges to the visual bounds of nodes. [Q&A 21678], [Q&A 22046]
    Fixed regression that prevented pasting of nodes that were copied from inside a closed group node.
    Fixed inconsistent ordering of palette sections in the 'Add to Palette' context menu. [Q&A 19997]
    Fixed selection changes that sometimes occurred after running One-Click layout. [Q&A 22201]
    Many bugfixes great and small.

    Removed Features:

    Removed yEd's IconFinder client for importing symbols into user-defined palette sections. IconFinder no longer offers the service interface required for this feature.
    Removed the HTML Flash Viewer and SWF export formats. Both formats relied on Adobe™ Flash™ and thus could not be used as intended anymore.
