Version
1.0 of the Inkscape drawing editor has been released. “One of
the first things users will notice is a reorganized tool box, with a more
logical order. There are many new and improved Live Path Effect (LPE)
features. The new searchable LPE selection dialog now features a very
polished interface, descriptions and even the possibility of marking
favorite LPEs. Performance improvements are most noticeable when editing
node-heavy objects, using the Objects dialog, and when
grouping/ungrouping.“
