Inkscape (64-bit)

What's new in this version:

New Features:
Menus:
- We've added a link to our donation page in Help → Donate, to make it easier for users to contribute to the project financially

Fixed:
General:
- Stroke to Path works on text again
- Undoing Stroke to Path no longer loses the object's id
- Undoing Object to Path for an object with a Live Path Effect is now possible without also undoing the preceding action
- Saving no longer leaks memory
- Startup times improved, 3.3 seconds to 3 seconds on one Windows machine
- Hide unnecessary warnings in terminal about optional font directories not being used
- Canvas no longer blurred when moving window from HiDPI to a regular display
- Clicking selects objects again on wmii and some other window managers
- Caps lock no longer stops Delete, Page Down and some other shortcut keys from working on Windows

Dialogs:
- Clicking the resize separator will toggle visibility of docked dialog

Welcome dialog:
- Fixed a paper size typo
- Renamed some confusing device size names
- Removed an unnecessary warning when choosing the keyboard shortcuts set
- Transform dialog: Matrix tab no longer stubbornly insists on using display units instead of the units the user selected
- Text and Font dialog: Font features load in under a second, instead of minutes for fonts with lots of font features. More font feature glyphs shown too

Filters:
- Fast crop: Transparency is now respected when applying the Filters → Fill and Transparency → Fast Crop filter

Import:
- EPS: Users that have installed Inkscape in the snap packaging format can open EPS files again

Export:
- Optimized SVG: Save as → Optimized SVG works again in Linux AppImage

Markers:
- Start / end markers: A bug was fixed where the path tip protruded over the arrow marker's end

Menus:
- Help menu: Now using a different set of web links to link to the documentation from the Help menu

Packaging:
- Snap remembers user preferences even when the home directory is not available to the snap. This may occur in LDAP, SSSD, or other set ups where there is a modified nsswitch.conf and NSCD is not acting as a proxy to snaps.

Build fixes:
- Building Inkscape works again on systems with musl libc
- Building Inkscape works again on NetBSD
- Building Inkscape works again on FreeBSD
- Building Inkscape works again with GCC 7

Templates:
- All templates generated from the 'Welcome' dialog now use a document scale of 1, making it easier to hand-edit documents created using them

Tools:
- Measure tool:
- Settings for font size and precision for the Measure tool work again
- Position dialog moves handles to the right place again
- Measurements no longer reset on right click or tool switch

Crash fixes:
Fixed a crash when:
- … using a grid with the Document Properties dialog open on Windows. This also fixes a memory leak on other operating systems, that did not necessarily lead to a crash.
- … trying to copy an object without ID
- … stroke to path applied on paths with no area, fill, stroke, or markers
- … entering a space character in the 'Attributes' field of the 'Clone Original' LPE settings dialog
- … closing a window while the filter editer dialog is floating and a filter is selected
- … pasting 3D boxes when the 3D box tool is active
- … multiple objects selected for spray tool in single path mode
- … quitting in command line or when opening windows if done before window fully loads
- … Homebrew or MacPorts used and XDG_DATA_DIRS is not defined

Extension bug fixes:
- Fix LaTeX extension on Windows
- Add __version__ for inkex
