Inkscape is a versatile and powerful open-source vector graphics editor that allows users to create and manipulate various scalable graphics and designs. With a user-friendly interface and a wide range of tools, Inkscape is suitable for both beginners and experienced designers.

One of Inkscape's key features is its support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format, enabling seamless scaling without loss of quality. This makes it ideal for creating logos, icons, illustrations, and other graphic elements for both web and print.

The software provides an array of drawing and editing tools, enabling users to draw shapes, lines, and curves effortlessly. Advanced features like path operations, node editing, and object alignment further enhance the design capabilities.

Inkscape also offers support for text handling, allowing users to manipulate fonts creatively. Moreover, it enables the import and export of various file formats, ensuring compatibility with other design software.

Being open-source, Inkscape benefits from an active community that continually contributes to its improvement and development. It is available for multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Whether you're a hobbyist, student, or professional designer, Inkscape is an excellent choice for unleashing your creativity and bringing your artistic ideas to life.

Version 0.92
RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS:
- Mesh Gradients are now supported
- Many SVG2 and CSS3 properties are now supported (e.g. paint-order, mix-blend-mode). Not all are available from the GUI
- The new Object dialog allows to select, label, hide and lock any object in the drawing from a dialog that lists them all
- Selection sets make it possible to 'group' objects together regardless of document structure
- Guides can now be locked to avoid accidental movement
- Several new path effects have been added, among them Envelope/Perspective, Lattice Deformation, Mirror and Rotate Copies
- There are several new extensions (e.g. a seamless pattern extension) and a new filter (colorblindness simulation) included in the release, many old extensions have been updated or got new features
- Spray tool and measure tool received a set of nifty new features
- Interactive smoothing for lines created with the Pencil tool
- BSplines (and more) are available for the Pen tool
- Checkerboard background can be used to more easily see object transparencies

IMPORTANT CHANGES:
- The default resolution was changed from 90dpi to 96dpi, to match the CSS standard. For more background information, please see the Wiki article about handling of units in Inkscape. Inkscape 0.92 will attempt to identify 'legacy' Inkscape files that need to be converted
- For developers and packagers, the switch from autotools to CMake is a relevant change (users who do not compile their own version will not be affected). While the old system is still available for 0.92, it is now also possible to compile Inkscape using CMake
