Fedora 25: Inkscape Security Fixes and Bugs Improvements - Critical Updates

fedora
Calendar Grey September 19, 2017
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest Fedora 25 patch introduces several enhancements aimed at improving security and resolving issues in Inkscape, boosting both functionality and overall user experience.
Many security fixes, bug fixes, and other changes from the previous version 6.9.3.0

Summary

Inkscape is a vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to

Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector

Graphics (SVG) file format. It is therefore a very useful tool for web

designers and as an interchange format for desktop publishing.

Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha

blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined

interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations,

trace bitmaps and much more.

Many security fixes, bug fixes, and other changes from the previous version

6.9.3.0. See the [6.9 branch ChangeLog](https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/blob/3fd358e2ac34977fda38a2cf4d88a1cb4dd2d7c7/ChangeLog). Dependent packages

are mostly straight rebuilds, a couple also include bugfix version updates.
