Hazel 4 0 9

Release highlights

1. Hazel 4 0 9 Mm
2. Hazel 4

Inkscape 0.92.4 is a stability and bugfix release. It also brings some notable performance improvements for filter rendering, measure tool, saving and moving paths (with a live path effect) and includes a couple of small, but impactful usage improvements.

Hazel 4.4.2 Hazel is a System Preference pane that works silently in the background, automatically filing, organizing and cleaning. PhpMyAdmin 5.0.4 Filed in For Developers; Steam for Windows. Captured from Hazel season 4 episode 6 'Welcome Back Kevin' on DVD with the Screen Gems dancing sticks logo still intact. Original air date: October 22, 1964. Compute answers using Wolfram's breakthrough technology & knowledgebase, relied on by millions of students & professionals. For math, science, nutrition, history.

Important changes

This Inkscape version will not work with Windows XP / Vista anymore. Inkscape 0.92.3 is the last supported version on those OSs.

The Inkscape project has opened a new, user-facing bug tracker on gitlab: https://inkscape.org/report . Please use this new tracker to report issues that occur with Inkscape 0.92.4 and with development builds.

Improvements

Hazel 4 0 9 Mm

Align and Distribute

You can now align multiple (ungrouped) objects as a group relative to another, single object.

This makes 'treat selection as group' useful with the selections 'Last selected / First selected / Biggest object / Smallest object' in which case all elements will be moved as a group relative to the 'focused' element which will be kept fixed.

Example aligning multiple (ungrouped) objects to first selected object:

Hazel 4

Color sliders

The movement of the color sliders can now be constrained by holding the 'Ctrl' key while dragging.

(step size is 16 if the max value is 255, and 10 if the max is 100)

Extensions

• Previously, the current selection was lost after running an extension. Now, whenever possible, Inkscape will try to keep the objects selected.
• Extensions developers can again rely on the order of inkex.Effect.selected.iteritems() reflecting the user's selection order properly.
• Extensions work faster now in documents consisting of a large number of objects.

Automated Graphics Processing

Inkscape is now able to read and write pipes. You can use this to process data without using temporary files.

You can read from standard input:

You can write image data to standard output and directly convert to JPEG:

Also a full processing chain is possible by reading and writing to pipes:

Other improvements

• Improved saving speed (especially some extreme slowdowns with certain large files like those created by Adobe Illustrator have been resolved, see also bug # 1793877 )
• Improved filter rendering speed ( Commit )
• Improved performance of the measure tool, when grids are visible ( Commit )
• Dragging paths with a live path effect works faster now (Bug # [1] 245078)

Regression fixes

• Deselecting a path with many nodes would take a long time (Bugs # 1652100 and # 1745763 )
• Ungrouping text elements would result in a changed font size. (Bug # 1733651 )
• Some files with live path effects that could not be opened in Inkscape 0.92.3 work again in 0.92.4 (Bug # 1769679 )

Notable bugfixes

• Some printer drivers (reportedly Canon, EPSON, and Konica Minolta drivers) either failed to print at all, or scaled documents to the wrong paper size. Inkscape would send print jobs with a custom paper size, instead of sizes supported by the drivers. (Bug # 630635 comments 3-7; bug # 1289733 ; GitLab MRs 258 and 259 )
• The measure tool became confused by mirrored text. Now it measures distances between letters correctly, even when mirrored. (Bug # 1738504 )
• Fixed reduced opacity of partially transparent embedded bitmap images in PDF export. (Bug # 381677 )
• Fixed reduced opacity of partially transparent filtered objects in PDF export when 'Rasterize filter effects' is active. (Bug # 381677 )
• Fixed a very annoying crash when Shift/Ctrl-clicking on control handles of shapes. (Bug # 1594877 )
• Inkscape can now be built with up-to-date poppler library 0.72.0. This is especially useful for Mac OS users, using Homebrew for building Inkscape. ( Commit )
• Filter editor no longer crashes when removing the last blend filter (Bug # 1795847 )
• Fixed a crash upon closing a document, when the default template was missing ( Commit )
• Copy-pasting the power stroke LPE from one path to another works better now (Bug # 1005036 )

More bug fixes

http://xxoanl.xtgem.com/Blog/__xtblog_entry/19154844-skip-tunes-2-1#xt_blog. There were even more issues fixed than those listed above, but these probably only affect a small portion of users, or are relevant for development and packaging only.

Motivation

When programming, we spend a substantial amount of our time working with program text that is not yet a formally complete program, e.g. because there are blank spots, type errors or merge conflicts at various locations. Conventional programming language definitions assign no formal meaning to structures like these, so program editors and other tools have no choice but to resort to complex and ad hoc heuristics to provide various useful language services (like code completion, type inspection, code navigation, and live programming services) without gaps in service.

We are developing a more principled approach to working with incomplete programs, rooted in (contextual modal and gradual) type theory. We model incomplete programs as programs with holes, which (1) stand for parts of the program that are missing; and (2) serve as membranes around parts of the program that are erroneous or, in the collaborative setting, conflicted.

We are implementing these ideas into Hazel, a web-based programming environment for an Elm/ML-like functional programming language being designed from the ground up around typed hole-driven development.

Uniquely, every incomplete program that you can construct using Hazel's language of type-aware edit actions is both statically and dynamically well-defined, i.e. it has a (possibly incomplete) type, and you can run it to produce a (possibly incomplete) result. Consequently, Hazel serves as an elegant platform for research on the future of programming.
