| 20 |
|
| 21 |
<p>Development versions have an odd minor release number. The |
| 22 |
current development series is 0.7.x.</p> |
| 23 |
<p>The main goals of this development series are:</p> |
| 24 |
<ul> |
| 25 |
<li>Port to GTK+</li> |
| 26 |
<li>Multi-document interface</li> |
| 27 |
<li>Multi font, fully integrated multi line text</li></ul> |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
There is a TODO file in the development source archive. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
<p>If you're new to Skencil, please note that the user-interface in |
| 32 |
the current development versions is very incomplete during |
| 33 |
the porting of Skencil from Tk to GTK. To get an idea of what |
| 34 |
Skencil already can do, please have a look at the stable releases |
| 35 |
first.</p> |

<h2>Status</h2> |
| 39 |
<p>The current development version is 0.7.12. The most important |
| 40 |
changes since version 0.7.11:</p> |
| 41 |
<ul> |
| 42 |
<li>Basic translucency support for raster images.</li> |
| 43 |
<li>An export filter for EPS</li> |
| 44 |
<li>The updates to the CGM filters and the bugfixes for the SVG and |
| 45 |
CMX import filters that are also in 0.6.15</li></ul> |

| 53 |
<p>To decrease the file sizes, I've split the font-metrics into a |
| 54 |
separate file, |
| 55 |
<a href="<!--download root-->/sketch-fontmetrics-0.7.0.tar.gz">sketch-fontmetrics-0.7.0.tar.gz</a> |
| 56 |
(130K). The metrics in this file are the same as in the stable |
| 57 |
series, so if you already have that, you don't need this file.</p> |

<h2>Required software</h2> |
| 146 |
|
| 147 |
<h3>Python, Python Imaging Library, XML (optional)</h3> |
| 148 |
<p>These are basically the same as for the stable version, but |
| 149 |
you'll need at least version 1.0 of the Python Imaging Library. You |
| 150 |
need at least Python 2.1 (available from |
| 151 |
<a href="http://python.org/download/">http://python.org/download/</a>. |
| 152 |
The Python Imaging Library is available from |
| 153 |
<a href="http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm">http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm</a>.</p> |
| 154 |
<p>For platform specific notes and binary packages, see the |
| 155 |
<a href="download.html#N2">download page</a> for the stable |
| 156 |
series.</p> |
| 157 |
<p>If you want to use the SVG import filter, you also need the |
| 158 |
<a href="http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/download.html">Python XML |
| 159 |
package</a>. This package is optional, you don't need it for |
| 160 |
anything other than the SVG import filter.</p> |
| 161 |
|
| 162 |
<h3>GTK+, PyGTK and GNOME</h3> |
| 163 |
<p>Skencil now uses GTK+ instead of Tk. You can get GTK+ from |

<a href="http://www.gtk.org/">http://www.gtk.org/</a>, you need at |
| 165 |
least GTK+ 2.x.</p> |
| 166 |
<p>You also need version 2.x of |
| 167 |
<a href="http://www.daa.com.au/~james/software/pygtk/">PyGTK</a>, the Python |
| 168 |
bindings for GTK+.</p> |
| 169 |
<p>For anti-aliased rendering you also need libart, the rendering |
| 170 |
library used by the GNOME canvas. libart is part of the gnome-libs |
| 171 |
package available at |
| 172 |
<a href="http://www.gnome.org/">http://www.gnome.org/</a>, but it's |
| 173 |
