Inkscape 1.3.1 Released with More Than 70 Bug Fixes and Two New Features
Inkscape 1.3.1 is here almost four months after Inkscape 1.3 and adds two new features, namely an option to disable snapping to grid lines and the ability to split text into its letters (characters) while keeping the kerning (letter distances) intact.
This release also improves the Shape Builder tool introduced in Inkscape 1.3 with the ability to create an appropriate number of nodes, improves handle visibility with dark desk colors, improves the conversion of text objects to a path, and improves the opening and importing of PDF files that didn’t work with Inkscape 1.3.

Inkscape turns 20
Speaking of feeling old, I just saw the news over at the Inkscape blog that the world’s best open source vector graphics editor is now in its third decade. Wow!
I’ve been using Inkscape since at least 2007. Every SVG in the history of this site was either drawn, modified, optimised, or exported from Inkscape. I owe them a great deal. Thank you to all the contributers, a donation will be on its way shortly :).
