Post by: Lazur on September 21, 2018, 12:09:45 AM
As announced previously (https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=1265.0), the Inkscape development team had their latest hackfest in Kiel, Germany.

What happened?

Besides the developer team having a meetup and building personal relationships?
Some serious work being done.

Just a few of the technical achievements amongst bug fixes and performance boosting:

   • Centerline tracing - first steps for inclusion in Inkscape. There is no graphical user interface for it yet, but one step at a time.

   •  External SVG linking with real-time changeable resolution.

   • A fix for Inkscape's coordinate issues. Coordinate system will flip back to the svg specs's.
