" Greeting to the community,

After over a year of intensive development and refactoring, Inkscape
0.47 is out. This version of the SVG-based vector graphics editor brings
improved performance and tons of new features, some of which are as
follows: Timed autosave, Spiro splines, Auto-smooth nodes, Eraser tool,
New modes in Tweak tool, Snapping toolbar & greater snapping abilities,
New Live Path Effects (including Envelope), A huge collection of preset
filters, New cairo-based PS and EPS export, Spell checker, Many new
extensions, Optimized SVG code options, and much more. Additionally, it
would be wrong to not mention the hundreds of bug fixes as well. Check
out the full release notes for more information about what has changed,
enjoy the screenshots, or just jump right to downloading your package
for Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.

I uploaded it, fun to play with lot's of filters that work on vectors and those are hard to find. Like Xara Extreme 5, no scanning process. Many icons for funcions, you really need a large monitor for all of this. Glad to see it, gives us more options for software and helps keep the competitiveness going.
