Other

Version 3.0.0 introduces more user control of how the main window is displayed. You can turn on and off the title bar, display the large buttons on the right or switch to toolbar mode with icons on the top to maximize the usable width of the window. Extended mode which hides the User Name, Server and Bindings options. Turn on and off grid lines in the user list window. You can also customize the user list window icons and toolbar icons.

All of these changes still keep the most commonly used features at your finger tips by means of a single click of the mouse. No need to navigate clunky multi-stage menu options just send a comment to the other users.

Version 3.0.0 is now compliant with the Microsoft XP Themes User Interface.

Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

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. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development.

Inkscape Features

Inkscape 0.45 Overview

This release brings the exciting new features developed by the Google Summer of Code 2006 participants, as well as tons of other improvements across the board. Here are the highlights:

• Gaussian blur is the first SVG filter supported by Inkscape. You can blur any object to any extent – yet it remains vector and fully editable. This gives a huge boost to Inkscape as a creative art tool.
• Display speed and interactivity: not only does Inkscape render faster, but it can now respond to user input before it finished redrawing the screen, which greatly improves the responsiveness (perceived speed or interactivity) of the program.
• History dialog makes it easy to to review your editing session and jump to any step of it, undoing and redoing multiple actions with one click.
• Several important tool features are added, notably the new selection mode in Node tool and the adjustable rounded caps in Calligraphic pen.
• Bitmap tracing works better for multi-color traces, sports a redesigned dialog and several new options.
• Many new extension effects are added, including Color effects and Pattern along path.
• The Outline mode has got many fixes and improvements, including a keyboard shortcut.
• Several new commands in Help menu open various Inkscape-related pages in your default browser, making Inkscape reference information more accessible as you work.
• Dozens of smaller features are added throughout the program, and hundreds of bugs are fixed.

Download

Bots were added starting in 0.6.0. They will spout taunts and everything!

Concepts would be loose, so don’t expect a remake of Klesk in his original Klesk form, or any direct remakes of any map/weapon/model.

Our previous release was a bit buggy and so we did this patch to fix things up and polish some graphics here and there.

This contains no engine binaries and can only be installed on the 0.7.0 version.

• Changes:
• Angelyss/dark_blue is more blue on costume
• New item icons from anyone
• Less bots for oa_dm2 in single player campaign
• Fan crash fix
• You can no longer walk in the sky on Suspended
• Beret is more polished, wears his beret properly
• Announcer is a bit louder and much cleaner
• New rocket smoke
