sketch 0.6.17 file released: skencil-0.6.17.tar.gz
Skencil 0.6.17 (June 19th, 2005) ================================ * Prepare for Python 2.4: * Update paxtkinter to deal with python's Tkinter changes * The .sk file format is now the default file format in the File/Open dialog. Patch by Frank Koormann * The setup.py script works on HP-UX now. Shared libraries have a .sl extension there. Patch by Olivier Mehani (Savannah patch #3709). * Mouse-wheel support for the canvas. The mouse wheel scrolls up/down. Savannah patch #3836 by cafeine * Updated the FAQ a bit to better match the one on the web-page. * Kinyarwanda translations by Steve Murphy. The translation seems quote incomplete. Bug Fixes: * On some systems math.atan2 raises an exception when called with two zeros. Fix one occurrence in the arrow module. Reported by Joel Biddier * Cancelling the drawing of a poly line or poly bezier with ESC resulted in tracebacks until the next mouse click. Reported by Antoon Pardon (Savannah bug #9378). Patch by Valentin Ungureanu (Savannah patch #3141). * The "Export Raster" script gives a better error message if ghostscript can't be called. Bug reported by Eric Devost * When importing EPS files, skencil didn't parse %%BeginData comments correctly. Fixed by Savannah patch #3134 by Bernhard Reiter * The svg export filter now sets the winding rule for all objects to even-odd. Savannah patch #3103 by Philippe Blayo, fixes Savannah bug #5756 by Simon Budig. * The SVG filter handles ill-formed transform specifications a bit better. The old version would hang in a regular expression match if the triling closing parenthesis of e.g. a matrix specification was missing. Bug report by Joel Biddier * The svg import filter also accepts capital Z as closepath command of a path specification as required by the SVG specification. Savannah Patch #3587 by Bernhard Reiter. * In the print dialog, when the user clicked on the file selection button and cancelled the dialog, Skencil would give an exception. This is now fixed. * The usage messge printed when the --help option is given on the command line now correctly refers to "skencil" not "sketch" anymore. * The source URL in the spec file now refers to skencil as well. It still points to sourceforge, though. Patch by Paul Dickson * The setup.py script now finds the tcl/tk libraries on OpenBSD as well (savannag bug #12046)

* Skencil is the new name for the vector drawing program formerly known as "Sketch". This is only a superficial renaming. All places in the GUI are changed and the main executable is now called skencil (for backwards compatibility you can also start Skencil with "sketch" as before). Internally nothing has changed in this regard. The main python package is still called Sketch for instance and the userspecific configuration is still stored in ~/.sketch Thanks to Frank Koormann for coming up with the name "Skencil". * New icons including a new icon for Skencil itself contributed by Taiabati (http://www.taiabati.it/). These icons were drawn with Skencil and the raster versions were created with the help of Gimp. The Skencil files can be found in the Examples directory. * The sk2ps.py script has a new option, --embed-fonts or -e to embed the fonts used by a drawing in the postscript output. Patch by Otto Tronarp * The print dialog also has a check box "Embed fonts" now. Patch by Antoon Pardon * The sk2ppm.py script has a new option, --alpha-bits or -A, to make ghostscript ase anti-aliasing. Patch by Tamito KAJIYAMA * The skshow.py script has a new option, --fit. If given it fits the bounding box of the drawing rather than the page to the window size. Patch by Antoon Pardon * The color dialog has RGB entry fields now. Patch by Bernhard Reiter * Updated German translations * Portuguese translations by Lopo Pizarro * Updated French translation by Michel Robitaille * Updated Swedish translations by Christian Rose * WMF export filter by Lukasz Pankowski * Antoon Pardon has updated the CGM filters * The CGM export filter supports path text now. Patch by Lukasz Pankowski * The script that reads GIMP paths is now in the Script subdirectory and activated by default * The center of rectangles is now also a snap point. Based on a patch by Valentin Ungureanu * The multi line text objects can deal with more variants of boldness and other attributes in fonts. Patch by Antoon Pardon * Make Sketch work with Python 2.3 without warnings: - Update paxtkinter so that it works with the new Tkinter - Change hex literals so they don't trigger warnings about being interpreted differently in future versions - Make sure to use ints and not floats where some C-functions expect ints Bug Fixes: * Make sktops.py work when drawing all visible layers and the grid layer is marked as visible. Patch by Andy Thaller * Sketch failed to load .sk files that contained very long lines following a bezier curve. Patch by Andy Thaller * Sketch failed to load .sk files that contained empty plugin objects. These objects are now simply ignored when loading such files * The SVG export filter makes sure now that text objects do not have strokes. Bug reported by Peter Robins * The SVG import filter now uses a black fill by default. Bug reported by John Ellson * Fixed the copyright notices which said LPGL but referred to the GPL too. They now have the same license statement as all other LPGPLed files * When "Snap to Objects" was active and a new object was created the points that Sketch snapped to were not updated properly. Reported by Valentin Ungureanu * Avoid attribute errors in the __del__ method of Font objects. Reported by Antoon Pardon

sketch 0.6.15 file released: sketch-0.6.15-1-rh9.i386.rpm
* Updated CGM import/export filters from Antoon Pardon Bug Fixes: * Fix the order of the items in the changelog in the spec-file (Andy Grimberg) * When using setup.py install with the --dest-dir option make sure that the correct filename is put into the bycompiled files (*.pyc). Patch from Ralf Ahlbrink * Make Sketch compile with tcl/tk 8.4. Problem noticed by Michael Soibelman. * In setup.py, handle the 'make' variable parameters (e.g. CC=gcc) properly when they contain multiple equals signs. Patch by Sebastian Stark * Allow digits in the keys of format specifiers in the format strings returned by the Info method of a GraphicsObject. * The SVG import filter now handles the viewBox attribute of the svg element (it doesn't handle the preserveAspectRatio attribute though). The filter also makes sure that non-text object won't get a font attribute and it understands more color names. Bugs reported by Keith Hopper * The CMX import filter handles poly-curves with a large number of points better now. Reported by Tim Wright.
