Smoother and more interactive in complex slow-rendering documents: Previously, in extreme cases Inkscape could freeze for seconds while catching up with the mouse cursor such delays are now eliminated. In a file with large and complex paths has become much snappier and more responsive. Now, if you press and hold a key, your selection/zoom level will quickly jump to the final position instead of going through all the intermediate steps as before. Scaling and rotating objects from keyboardĪre much more responsive when working with complex slow-rendering objects. Moving objects, nodes, and gradient handles by cursor keys In particular, this fixes the annoying latency issue where a node or a handle could follow mouse cursor even after you release mouse button after a drag. Minor improvements have been made to gradient rendering performance.īy mouse became more responsive, so that working in complex drawings and especially editing complex paths is noticeably easier. Now even the quite complex files with large blurs export at high resolution in at most a few minutes. Now this is fixed, in part by the faster algorithm mentioned above and in part by a bugfix in the export code. Verbeek (see the source code for more detailed references).Įxporting drawings with blur was particularly slow in 0.45 some files could take hours to export. On the other hand, the results are an approximation to a true Gaussian blur, so a drawing may look slightly different from the mathematically precise blur (usually the differences are far from visible, though). This greatly improves the speed of blur redraw at high zooms or in high-resolution export (or simply with very large blur radius). As a result, during such operations those parts that you're working on redraw often and feel snappy and responsive, while areas further away may lag behind more.įor exporting and high quality on-screen rendering: Inkscape now uses an IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter for blurring with large radius. Moreover, the redraw is interruptible, so each mouse movement starts new redraw from the mouse cursor area. For example, when you are node-editing part of a complex path, the entire path needs to be redrawn on each change, but now this redraw starts from the point you're working on. This significantly improves program's responsiveness in some situations. Now the redraw always startsĪnd proceed upwards and downwards from it, so that the area near the cursor is always redrawn first. With complex images and/or on slow computers, you may have noticed that Inkscape redraws the screen image in horizontal strips, and these strips are painted in order from top to bottom. More impressive are memory savings: thanks to cairo, in outline mode Inkscape now takes only about It is now used forĭisplay which, thanks to using cairo and other optimizations, redraws In this version, Inkscape starts using the Hundreds of smaller features and bugfixes Significant speed and interactivity improvements Open Clip Art Library integration (import/export)Įngraver's Toolbox in the Calligraphic tool As most of them do not have a checksum or valid/secure GPG signature, be very careful if you download or install them on your computer.
