Inkscape 0.40
=============

Draw Freely.

http://www.inkscape.org/

The Inkscape community is proud to announce release 0.40 of Inkscape, "A
Cross-Platform Open Source Vector Graphics (SVG) Drawing Tool." This
release includes three highly requested new capabilities: Layers,
Text-on-Path, and Bitmap tracing. In addition, several minor features
have made the cut along with a number of usability enhancements, three
new tutorials, and hundreds of bug fixes; this is by far the most
feature-packed release to date!

The implementation of layers provides another means for organization of
compositions. Layers can be locked to not allow changes and their
visibility may be toggled on and off. This is great for sketching over a
bitmap image by using it as a template. However, one might skip this
technique altogether by using the new "Bitmap Tracing" which uses
Potrace to convert pixels/bitmaps into vector graphics. Normally this
function is not found in illustration programs, but now it is front and
center right on the canvas within Inkscape.

Since our last release four months ago, we have added several new
dependencies such as the Boehm garbage collector and the stable Gtk 2.4
libraries. Hence, installing Inkscape on some platforms might raise more
issues than as with previous releases, and we ask you to please post to
the bugtracker (http://inkscape.org/report_bugs.php) any issues
discovered. To help those who run into undocumented problems we're also

GLib 2.5.7 released [unstable]

GLib 2.5.7 is now available for download at:

   ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.5/

glib-2.5.7.tar.gz	md5sum: 730a3980ad9058d8ed9612eccc617d9b
glib-2.5.7.tar.bz2	md5sum: 563aeefa2680d02c68f4e350b8b11092

This is the 8th development release leading up to GLib 2.6.  

Notes:

 * This is unstable development release. While it has had
   fairly extensive testing, there are certainly plenty of 
   bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be 
   used in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GLib 2.4. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GLib 2.4.7.

 * GLib 2.6 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GLib 2.4.x series. The new API additions in GLib 
   2.5.x are finalized at this point, and GLib 2.5.x 
   should be considered API frozen. Unless serious issues
   with the new APIs come up, there will be no API 
   changes between this release and the 2.6.0 release.

 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org

   remaining to be found. This release should not be used

GTK+ 2.4.14 released

GTK+ 2.4.14 is now available for download at:

This is a bug fix release and is source and binary compatible
with 2.4.0. 

What is GTK+
============

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.

GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.

GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
pdevelopers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.

This is the 7th development release leading up to GTK+ 2.6.

Notes:

 * This is unstable development release. There are certainly
   plenty of bugs remaining to be found. This release should
   not be used in production.

 * Installing this version will overwrite your existing
   copy of GTK+ 2.4. If you have problems, you'll need
   to reinstall GTK+ 2.4.14.

 * GTK+ 2.6 will be source and binary compatible with
   the GTK+ 2.4.x series; however, the new API additions
   in GTK+ 2.5.6 are not yet completely finalized, so there 
   may be incompatibilities between this release and the final
   2.6 release.

 * GTK+ is in a slush API freeze. There are still a few open
   API issues, but it is very likely that most of them will be
   punted to 2.8. Remaining API issues for GTK+ 2.6 can be
   found with following Bugzilla query:
