The Simplify LPE cleans up vector elements non-destructively by smoothing paths, shapes, groups, clips, and masks. Spiro Live, BSpline, and Roughen essentially provide new drawing modes. Live Path Effects are proving to be a vibrant ecosystem in the Inkscape project, and many innovative new ideas have been percolating over the past couple years since our last release. A welcome outcome of this participation is the improvement and addition of over a dozen SVG and CSS properties. Inkscape works closely with the SVG standards committee, and thanks to our many generous donors, the Inkscape project sponsors an engineering representative to attend SVG working group meetings over the past few years. Mesh gradients are a powerful tool enabling artists to more easily create photo-realistic drawings - a feature we would love to see made part of the W3C's Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) standard if you find this feature as cool as we do, please request that your favorite web browser adopts support for it too! Infrastructural changes are also under way, including a switch to CMake from the venerable Autotools build system. ![]() New features include mesh gradients, improved SVG2 and CSS3 support, new path effects, interactive smoothing for the pencil tool, a new Object dialog for directly managing all drawing elements, and much more.
