scientific-inkscape - v1.4.23

Handling of differentially-kerned text has been improved, which is necessary since v1.4 of Inkscape changes how PDF text is imported
Font shorthand support added, improving compatibility with Matplotlib-generated SVGs
Speedups and efficiency improvements to the Gallery Viewer
Bug fixes

scientific-inkscape - v1.4.22

This release adds new features to Scale Plots, now renamed to the Scaler. It can now match position as well as height & width, making it easier to assemble perfectly-aligned subfigures.

- Python

scientific-inkscape - v1.4.21

This release further optimizes SI for version 1.4 of Inkscape, fixing certain new bugs and speeding up Flattening of differentially-kerned text (the new way Inkscape imports text from PDFs).

scientific-inkscape - v1.4.20

This emergency release fixes a compatibility issue with Inkscape 1.4 (released yesterday).

It also overhauls the Gallery Viewer, which can now handle larger galleries without issue and can extract vector files from more types of documents (including OneNote sections).

scientific-inkscape - v1.4.19

This release optimizes for the beta version of Inkscape 1.4.

Changes: * Overhauled Autoexporter can now be configured directly in its GUI. * Homogenizer now supports font variations (bold, italic, light, etc.) * Bug fixes and general speedups. * Now incorporates a local copy of Inkex, which makes it less likely that future updates to Inkscape break Scientific Inkscape functionality.

scientific-inkscape - v1.3.1

This release optimizes for compatibility with v1.3 of Inkscape. I have moved to a less-frequent release schedule, so this release has several major improvements:

Adds the Gallery Viewer, which generates a GUI that can be used to examine the SVG contents of files and folders. This is especially helpful for closing the loop on Powerpoint files, allowing you to edit their SVG contents.
The Autoexporter replaces Portable SVGs (SVGs converted to PDF and back) with Plain SVGs (SVGs optimized for compatibility). The resulting SVG files are generally cleaner, smaller, and easier to edit. More Office bugs have been identified and preempted.
The Autoexporter now runs in a GUI in most environments.
The Homogenizer can now do plot-aware adjustments of text, maintaining appropriate distance to axes.
The Flattener's white rectangle removal now only operates on rectangles in the background.
Scale Plots now allows for objects to be scaled with a locked aspect ratio, and excluding objects is easier.
All of the core extensions run significantly faster in most situations, and many bugs have been fixed.

(Same as v1.3.0, except the DeprecationWarning that pops up due to the new version of Python is prevented.)
