Acaba de ser liberada la versión 0,42 de Inkscape, una estupenda herramienta de dibujo vectorial que rivaliza con Corel Draw.
Inkscape es un editor de SVG, el formato recomendado por W3C para gráficos vectoriales.
El programa es una escisión del proyecto Sodipodi y pretende centrarse
en la edición de SVG, mientras que Sodipodi pretende ser un programa de
dibujo vectorial.

Basada en gráficos vectoriales, la lista de extras y mejoras de la nueva versión es impresionante:
* Flowed Text: Text objects that automatically re-flow to any shape (and not just a rectangle).
* Text Selection: One can now select part of a text and apply any style
to the selection, just like in a word processing application.
* Gradient Tool: A completely redesigned and much easier to use
on-canvas gradient interface with handles displayed directly in the
drawing.
* Effects: These are now usable from within Inkscape on all platforms.
This version ships with a collection of effects including path
interpolation, randomization, and various fractal algorithms.
* Color Swatches: This standard facility of most graphics software is now a part of Inkscape.
* Colored Clones: Clones may now be painted differently from their original.
* Tile Tracing: The Tile Clones dialog can trace an existing image with tiling, producing a multitude of exciting effects.
* Grid Arrange, Baseline Align, Unclumping: There are new, powerful ways to arrange objects.
* Better PS/EPS Export: PostScript level 3 gradient support, better
text handling, and a command line option for batch export are in this
release.
* Command Line SVG Analysis: Inkscape may now be used from the command
line to query coordinates and dimensions of objects in an SVG file.
* Better SVG/CSS Compliance: Notably, internal CSS stylesheets are now supported (read-only).
* Mac OS X Support: In addition to Linux and Windows, Inkscape 0.42 is
now available as a fully self-contained dmg package for Mac OS X.
Actualmente existen versiones de Inkscape para Linux, Windows y OSX.
