Packagers : Do NOT download source tarballs from the "Source code" assets above (click for details)
Due to a git/gitlab issue they do not contain bundled extensions.
In addition, out of git, the CMake package in it will declare that he is in an "unknown" version and that will be in the version string.
Both problems are solved by creating the source package with make dist (or ninja dist) in a build folder for the git repo with the extensions submodule present, using CPack and temporarily replacing unknown with the current git hash.
Unfortunately, there is no way to use the gitlab release list and remove the "default" asset tarballs.
You can find all source tarball at https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.1/source/archive/xz/dl/ and we are working on providing a packager-friendly source download URL page/scheme at inkscape-web#486
Inkscape 1.1
Released on 2021-05-24.
Release highlights
Inkscape 1.1 is the latest major Inkscape release that brings users many fresh new features and new functionality.
The most notable changes include:
- A Welcome dialog, where the look of Inkscape can be selected, and some choices for the new document's size or file to open are available
- A Command palette that opens when the ? key is pressed and that allows to search and use many functions without having to use a keyboard shortcut or going through the menus
- It is now possible to copy, cut and paste parts of paths with the Node tool
- The dialog docking system has been rewritten, which resolves many issues with Inkscape's docked dialogs and allows you to dock dialogs on either side of the screen
- New Outline Overlay mode that displays object outlines while also showing their real colors
- Preferences options are now easier to find by using the new search field
- It is no longer necessary to remember to click on 'Export' in the PNG Export dialog, as the exporting will already happen after the click on 'Save' in the file selection dialog.
- Export as JPG, TIFF, optimized PNG and WebP directly from Inkscape
- When pasting a copied object, Inkscape now pastes it directly on top of the currently selected object by default
- An extension for updating extensions and installing additional extensions, called the Extension Manager (currently in beta stage)
