After 6 months of development, the [[w:Inkscape|Inkscape]] project released today a new version of their [[w:SVG|SVG]]-based [[w:GPL|GPLed]] vector drawing program. It features improved performance and many new features, such as a Layers dialog, better PDF export, configurable keyboard shortcuts and support for clipping and masking. Inkscape runs on  Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. 

Inkscape started in 2003 as a fork of the vector drawing editor [[w:Sodipodi|Sodipodi]]. Inkscape does not yet have as many features as the best commercial vector editors, but it is currently suitable for a wide range of applications. Inkscape's implementation of SVG and CSS standards is incomplete; most notably, it has not yet fully implemented SVG filter effects, animation, and SVG fonts. Inkscape is currently under active development, which is indicated by the version number below one; new features were being added regularly.
