About Inkscape

Inkscape is a Free and open source vector graphics editor for GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS.

What's new in 1.4.4

Inkscape 1.4.4 is a maintenance and bugfix release, which brings you 20 crash fixes, more than 25 bug fixes and performance improvements, a couple small new features, and comes with many updated translations. Like its predecessor, it is also a bridge release in the sense that it can be used to convert the planned Inkscape 1.5 multipage file format to the pre-1.5 multipage format. Versions lower than Inkscape 1.4.3 will not be able to interpret pages created in Inkscape versions 1.5 and upwards. Opening a document in Inkscape 1.4.3 and saving it will convert it to the current ('old') page format (MR #7608). Background: While the 'old' format of pages in Inkscape is a custom addition that only works in Inkscape, the new format will make use of the svg:view element, which is standardized and can work in other SVG viewers, too. Find more information about this in MR #7525. The most important fixes and changes in this release are: - 20 crash fixes, among them for three nasty bugs where Inkscape wouldn't even start - almost 20 other bug fixes - 6 changes that improve performance - a new palette - a new button for rotating stars and polygons into their 'neutral' or 'upright' position - 27 updated interface translations - 15 updated documentation translations - installation files for Windows on Arm Read all about Inkscape 1.4.4 in the release notes!
