All releases of Inkscape


Release Notes: This release adds a new Gaussian Blur SVG filter. This allows you to softly and naturally blur any Inkscape objects, and enables a wide range of photorealistic effects such as shading, drop shadows, glows, etc. A history dialog allows you to browse your change history. There have been performance improvements to rendering speed, on the order of 2-3% in general. Compositing quality is also improved through the removal of banding seen in gradients.
