Inkscape 1.4 – LWN
oming soon The open-source vector-graphics editor, Inkscape, is expected to release version 1.4 in October. The release represents an evolutionary step for the program, which brings new features, user-interface improvements, new and improved file-format support, and important changes to the code base.
Implemented as GTK+ tabs and housed in a custom panel widget (typically on the left side of the application window), dialogs organize commonly used tools and settings into groups. Inkscape has long charted its own path with how canvas controls are displayed, not following more familiar conventions that are common in the industry, which has negatively impacted some workflows. Anyone interested in trying out the beta, or upcoming release candidate for Inkscape 1.4 can visit the download page and grab the Appimage file, which should run on almost any Linux distribution.
