Inkscape 1.1

Released on 2021-05-24

Release highlights

  • A Welcome dialog, where the look of Inkscape can be selected, and some choices for the new document's size or file to open are available
  • A Command palette that opens when the ? key is pressed and that allows to search and use many functions without having to use a keyboard shortcut or going through the menus
  • It is now possible to copy, cut and paste parts of paths with the Node tool
  • The dialog docking system has been rewritten, which resolves many issues with Inkscape's docked dialogs and allows you to dock dialogs on either side of the screen
  • New Outline Overlay mode that displays object outlines while also showing their real colors
  • Preferences options are now easier to find by using the new search field
  • It is no longer necessary to remember to click on 'Export' in the PNG Export dialog, as the exporting will already happen after the click on 'Save' in the file selection dialog.
  • Export as JPG, TIFF, optimized PNG and WebP directly from Inkscape
  • When pasting a copied object, Inkscape now pastes it directly on top of the currently selected object by default
  • An extension for updating extensions and installing additional extensions, called the Extension Manager (currently in beta stage)

Inkscape 1.0.1

Released on 2020-09-07.

Release highlights

  • Selectors/CSS dialog is now available
  • Experimental color-managed PDF export through Scribus
  • Many crash fixes and bugs fixed

Selectors and CSS dialog

The Selectors and CSS dialog that was hidden and labelled as 'experimental' in Inkscape 1.0 is now available from the Object menu in 1.0.1. This new dialog allows users to edit a CSS stylesheet for the document and also to select all objects with a certain CSS selector, thus providing a replacement for the Selection Sets dialog, that had to be removed for Inkscape 1.0.

Scribus PDF export

An experimental PDF export extensions was added that uses Scribus 1.5.5+ if it can be found in the path. You'll need to use a color profile in the SVG file and make sure to double-check the exported image, as there are many SVG features not supported by Scribus.
